SUMMER!

 Is finally here :) 

Tecolote 10u Blue All Star Season

 Ryan knew that moving to the Tecolote baseball league this past year would be hard and competitive. Honestly, we weren't sure how he would compare to others and what his chances were for making the all star team. Well, no surprise to us, he was selected to join the Tec Blue 10u all start team! Woohoo! And wow, was it an experience. Over the course of about 6 weeks he played 20 games and had 14 practices! And that did not include any team parties, etc. He was playing baseball 5-6 days a week and loving every second so we had just as much fun. He played in Chula Vista, San Marcos, Escondido, Ramona, La Jolla, etc., so we got to see a lot of San Diego :) He played awesome and deemed the "silent leader" and made some great friends along the way.

Teams were formed so quickly they played their first tournament without jerseys 

They were like the sandlot kids with all mix matched uniforms 

Won their bracket! And Ryan got his first tournament ring and was name MVP of the tournament!!! He pitched like a boss, dove for balls and hit like a mad man.

His buddy Thomas played on a different all star team so they got to plat against each other 3 times!

Pure joy 

Life of a little brother 

A little mini putting after practice one night 

My handsome boy...

Who still likes to give me hugs  - I never want to let go

Ryan's favorite thing to do is head first slide. He slide 4 times during one at bat. Ha! 

After the lost to be eliminated from the regional tournament. I think the parents were the only ones who were sad!

Right when the season came to and end, Ryan started 2 weeks of baseball camp at UCSD - let the baseball continue! 

End of the School Year

Holy smokes - another school year in the books! And this one was 100% in-person! All of the kids had great years, I don't think I realize how lucky we are to have good, smart, respectful kids who get nothing but glowing reviews :) And they have some great friends! Owen rounded our his final year of preschool (sniff, sniff) and is gearing up to join Ryan at Spreckels next year!

Last running club of the year!

Last field trip of the year! I was actually able to join this one :) 

Nice little hike in the canyon near our house 

Bonus - other mom volunteer was Michelle!

Last day of 7th grade!

Haha - teenager look

Last day of 4th grade!

Just wanted a picture ;) 

I coordinated a last minute park lunch for Ryan and his buddies 

Meanwhile, Emmy was at the beach with her friends 

Oh to be in middle school again 

Owen and his class practiced his "3 Piggie opera" performance for months! He was so excited to perform for us. 

Our graduate!

Owen's class even threw a party at the park the next day!
