The Thunder Returns!

 Jack still LOVES to play rec ball with his school buddies.  What he loves most is being with his friends, low to no pressure, and that he gets to pitch.  It is bad, bad baseball.....but he still says it's fun.  So we will continue to go.  The boy does LOVE to pitch!



1st Tournament Win of the Season for the Nats

 While Grandma, Peyton, and I were in Tulsa the rest of the family was holding down the fort and playing baseball. Gamechanger was awesome for our car ride home, we could listen to the Naturals games as we trucked down the highway. 

 The Naturals finished the weekend 4-0, not allowing a single run against them.  Good weekend of baseball!  

The trophy was a bottle of champaign to celebrate with.....so funny!!






SLSG to Tulsa

 This is Peyton's "trap" season for soccer.  Half of her team is in high school so they are playing high school soccer.....so they combined two teams together for the spring season.  She loves the new girls and the new coach.  

They headed to Tulsa, played some good soccer, but on some super slick/muddy fields.  Grandma Farm met us along highway 44 and we took her with us.  It was COLD and wet out there!!  Peyton's back started hurting her again halfway through the second to last game.  She tried to push through and play the last game, and just couldn't.....she was not happy.  Out she sits for another 4-6 weeks to see if she can get better again!!  So frustrating!!!  






Lap Dog

 Quite the lap dog.....he will squeeze himself in any space possible to be where he wants to be.  This night, it was in my lawn chair with me at Jack's baseball game.....




First Cotillion

 Traditionally St Peter does 8th grade cotillion in the fall with St. Gerard.  Due to COVID, it got pushed back to the spring and they could only do it with their own peers at St. Peter.  At the beginning the rumor was that they'd have to dance with chairs......I mean, HILARIOUS!!!  Turns out, they didn't have to dance with chairs, instead they just had to dance 6 feet away from their partner.  

Here they were on their first night!



When baseball gets rained out.....

 but you still love your teammates enough that you still want to hang out with them.  You head to the Radil's lake house and hang out for the day!




When????.....When will I Learn???

 Or more like, when will HE learn?!?!  Every.damn.time!!!  It's baseball season!!!!
