Week 21- weekly update includes breakfast out with the middle and little, last elementary concert for the big, and more baseball (of course!).

David was off to a birthday party for a friend so I took the little and middle out for breakfast at our favorite spot and of course they wanted to wear their team hats!

Breakfast shenanigans!

Tucker's hats at Tuckers!

What's a little baseball in the pouring rain!  David scored on a bases loaded walk, that was 1 of 2 runs he scored that night!

We had our annual brunch today and I'm a very lucky mom to call these three boys mine!

That afternoon, I picked up my SEVEN year old for his well check appointment!  He's growing like a weed!



Friday May 19th

In one of the few nice days we've had so far this Spring, I took the boys to watch the high school kids play baseball!  It was fun for them to see the big kids play and who knows maybe someday they'll play on that team!

Monday May 1st


Evan is SEVEN!  My friend made him a very special cake for him to share with his class!

Saturday May 6th

Today was supposed to be our Baseball league family fun day, but Mother Nature had other plans and flooded our fields the night before with a massive rain storm.  It continued into the morning, so the call to postpone the parade of players was a good one.

That meant though, the boys were able to participate in their music school Preform-A-Thon mini concert with their singing group the Purple Finches.  Evan debuted his first solo!


With a lot of work from our league President and VP's, Shaun and Evan manged to squeeze in their very first game of the season (after being rained out their first two games).  Just as they were shaking hands the skies opened up and flooded the fields again.  

Shaun's first hit!
The AAA games were cancelled after the afternoon rain, but it gave time for them to dry so the Majors could play.  David had a great game, with a base hit and some good base running to get to third on steals.  His team won in extra innings 4 to 3.
