This time of the year is crazy! It’s fun, it’s stressful, it’s exciting, and mostly just busy! Jake and Drew competed in the T-Bones Sizzler baseball tourney and kept us entertained all weekend.
Brian had to rebuild his team after several boys decided to go a more competitive route at the conclusion of last season, so many of these faces are new. The KC Bulldogs won 5 games and came home with a championship! Way to go Bulldogs!
The championship game was a bit of a nail-biter as they came from behind 10-3 and won 10-11.
Drew’s Strike Zone Bulldogs team was also competing in the same tournament so a lot of baseball was played in this family over the weekend!
These cute boys also brought home the championship trophy! Woo hoo!
And ironically, they also won by 1 run in the championship game – another nail biter!
Congratulations boys!!
Meanwhile, Reece faced her fiercest competition of the Spring soccer season–The Rainbow Unicorns. Don’t let the name fool you…those girls are good! Our Pink Thunder girls held their own and only lost by 1. Reece, we LOVE watching you play soccer!!
Somehow there was a clerical mix up at Olathe Northwest High School and these invitations did not reach parents until the week we were supposed to attend this breakfast! Oops! In the meantime, an emergency email went out letting us know that we needed to be in the gym by 6:45a.m. so our children could be recognized. What!? How does that work when you’re trying to get other little people ready for school? I guess that means we need to scramble around and find a babysitter STAT! For me, that means an emergency text to Aunt Jenn. She is not a morning person, so I was very relieved when she said yes!
When we arrived, the gym was packed with tables, so we rushed to find a seat. The gym was full and it reminded me of a graduation ceremony. Except it was a whole bunch of Freshman students scrambling around trying to figure out why they are even there in the first place! We’re new at this!
You don’t know what award you are getting until you check the back of your chair and a card is attached that tells you! Surprise! Our prediction was she would get a math award because she really does well in that class. It didn’t matter to me what award she got, I was just so thrilled she was chosen to be recognized at all.
The breakfast concluded by 8 a.m. and she ran off to class and I was left wondering what to do with myself all dressed up (for me) and full makeup on. Well, I went to the gym! I looked and felt ridiculous working out with my hair and makeup done, but I went on with my day feeling so blessed that my daughter is conscientious about her grades and her future. I love you MoMo! Keep up the amazing work!
