Adding to the Hardware Collection


The Sliderzz won another tournament this weekend.  This time it was in the rain so they only played two games before calling the tourney.  We were the only team with no losses, so we were named the Champs.  Ky pitched a couple innings and played short stop for the first time.  He had fun playing in the middle of the field.  I had fun watching him rob a kid of his homerun by throwing him out at home from the cut off after he hit a bomb to deep center.  Really, I actually felt bad for the kid who got out :(  How sad is that to get a sweet hit and then get out.  It reminded me a little of the the time when I was a junior playing in the state tourney.  We were playing Hawthorne and Angela Munger (their top dog) was on third base. The girl up to bat hit it to me in center field and Munger thought she was going to score on the tag.  I, on the other hand, decided to throw her out.  It was sweet.  Even I was kinda surprised that I got it there in time. Angela, a friend of mine, was pretty fast.  It's amazing what a little adrenaline will do for ya. Anyway, glory days are over.  Let's get back to the present...

Ky had a killer at bat at the end of the game.  The bases were loaded with two outs and he started out with an 0-2 count.  As his mom, you know I was dying.  Well, after the count was full and Ky fouled off two more pitches, he ended up getting walked to score the tying run. On the next batter, first pitch was a past ball and we stole home to win the game!  Another exciting victory for the Sliderzz.

Where's Rookie?

Every time I walk by these empty bowls it reminds me that our cat Rookie has been gone for about a week now.  He just never came home one night.  Even though he was a pretty crazy cat, we're all still pretty sad about it.  I guess I'll have to clean up the kitty food, put the bowls away, and say good bye to Rookie for good.  
Here's Rookie in our Christmas tree.  Yep, he would climb the Christmas tree in the house.

Happy Birthday Kolter!



Our Kolter boy is 5!  
When they celebrated Kolter's  birthday at preschool he got to bring a treat.  Yeah, a treat.  Well, this is what he brought...carrots with the stems.  :)

Champions


The SC Sliderzz captured the Championship at the President's Day Baseball Tournament.  It was such an exciting win for them.  They had a great tournament, only losing one game, and everybody playing well to bring home the victory when it counted in the championship.  
It was so much fun for me to watch my Ky pitch his his little heart out for five innings straight to win in the championship.  It makes all those times catching for him with Kenzlie on my lap worth it  ;)
Whenever they win they have this little ritual where they cover home plate with dirt and then leave their "SC" mark on home plate.  I think it's so cute.  

We had a victory party at our house to celebrate the big win and I made a video for it.  Go  here to see it.
