End of the Year Tournament and Championship

Wow what a week we had last week.. Our team was the last seed in the beginning of the tournament which ends our season.  We had a year full of losses but our boys didn't care they were proud of their 4 wins.  So when the tournament started all the teams figured we would play Monday and Tuesday and be out (Double Elimination).  But they were shocked.. Monday night we came in and WON (3rd seed)!  So that meant we had to play again on Tuesday but it got rained out.. So we played Wednesday (1st seed) and WON!!!  So we had to play again on Thursday (2nd seed) and... WON!!!  We couldn't believe it!!!  So we got Friday night off and that made us able to play for the championship (yes that is what you read) on Saturday!!  But we had to wait to see who we would play.  So the 1st and 2nd seeds played Friday.. But we didn't know who we were playing until we showed up Saturday morning.. we were all nervous because we didn't want to have to play the 1st seed again.. When we played them it was a circus because the coach didn't get his way (theirs not ours)..  So we were happy to see RED  which meant we would face the 2nd seed which was the Cardinals.  We felt if we loss to them it would be ok.. but one thing we had on our side was the fact we hadn't lost a game all week so if we lost the game we would play them on Monday... so our boys got out there and well let me let the pictures tell you how it ended....

Yes that is right.. we WON!!!  We didn't even have to bat in the 6th inning.. we got 3 outs boom..boom..boom.. We were so proud of those boys and keep thinking it wasn't true but it was!  It is something that I know Zach will always remember.

Happy Mother's Day!

Just wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's that read my blog!

I'm so lucky to have two babies (although they don't look like babies any more).. they are both so special to me.

Last Game of the Season

Saturday was Zach's last game of the year and we play the #1 team in our division but our boys didn't let that get in their way!  They played their hearts out and surprised the other team.  They played so well together as a team and were just on with everything.  Zach is still playing catcher and he was so good about watching the bases.  One play he saw the boy running for 3rd so he through the ball to the third basemen and the boy decided he better run back to 2nd..it was great!

Even though they played they best game it was enough to get the win.. but boy did they give them a run for the money!!!  Final score 19 Rangers 15 Astros

After our game we had a small little party for the boys.  We got some pizzas and had some drinks for them and let them play a little.  The coach had asked me to make each player a baseball card so we gave everyone a team set this year was our first year not to get a participation trophy (yippy!!) so he thought this might be something different for them.  I think everyone had a good time..  

Games aren't over yet!  We have a double elemination tournament this week.. So wish us luck!

Spring PTO show

This year they had a Spring PTO show at Zach's school and it include two grades one being Zach's.  This was based on what they had learned in their PE class.  His grade did a bunch of different skills such as cup staking, warm up exercises, basketball around cones and his class did soccer skills around cones.  Then after each class was done that had an excise routine they did to some music.  It was all really good.

Field Day!

Back in the beginning of April (yes this is a little behind) Zach had his field day. This year it happened to fall on my Friday off so I decided to help out. I got there early in the morning but they had all of the positions filled so they asked if I would hang around for the afternoon which I was happy to. I gave me some time to follow Zach and his class around which was fun! I had a great time and was happy I got a chance to do this.
