8U All Star Baseball

Michael coached the 8U Bellevue all star baseball team this year. There were a lot of players from our Reds team and a few new players. We had to have a certain number of players on the roster. When a few declined last minute, we decided to add Peyton as the emergency backup. He was so thrilled to be included. The all star tournaments use a machine pitch, so it was very different for the boys. The boys practiced really hard.

We had a few weekends in a row of tournaments. It was a lot for the little kids, but they were definitely troopers! One of the tournaments was delayed for rain, so our second game of the day ended at 11:30pm. The poor little ones were exhausted!

Nap time after a HOT game during the middle of the day!

Patrick seemed to catch on really quickly to hitting the machine. He was the lead off batter and got a bat on the ball every time he was up to the plate. He played really well and I was really proud of him.

We had a tough couple of tournaments and lost pretty badly. But by the state tournament we had really caught on to hitting on the machine.  In the state tournament we were playing for 3rd place and were down by 10 runs after the first couple of innings. We came back and won the game. It was an amazing game and I was so proud of the boys. 

Way to go boys!!

The all star tournaments were definitely a lot, but the boys had a blast and we had a few fun adult moments in between as well :)

Cumberland Splash Park and Legendary Milkshakes

We headed to the splash park to cross another item off of our summer bucket list.

This sweet little girl was ready for a fun day!

She was a little terrified of the splash park at first but warmed up after a little bit.

Snack time to watch the boys run around like crazy

Eating snacks and waving to dad's building

After a fun couple hours of we walked across the pedestrian bridge to meet dad at Legendary Milkshakes. Patrick was SO excited about trying these milkshakes. Ever since we were supposed to go for my birthday he has been begging to try them. 

Love how sweet he is with her

My fab four

Pretending we are Titans players

Caitie and I split an oreo milkshake. She was all about the milkshake and drank most of it!

Peyton got the unicorn and loved it

Patrick declared it the best place ever!

Such a fun outing with my sweet little family!

Swimming with Friends

After another hot baseball tournament, we headed to the pool to have an afternoon of fun with friends!

Caitie thoroughly enjoyed her treat!

Conor and Caitie

The third week in June the big boys had all-sports camp, so it was just Conor and Caitie at home. We went grocery shopping and Conor insisted on pushing Caitie in the cart.

I was folding laundry one morning, but stopped to snap a few pictures of how cute these two are together!

LOVE this one!

And this one...

We drove by CakePop Heaven every day after camp and the boys always begged to go. So we stopped one day after camp and enjoyed a little treat.

We needed to go to Brentwood to run a few errands one day. But Conor insisted he needed Chick-fil-a for a second breakfast.
