This summer was the wildest one yet, but oh so fun! After a few years of patience and work Ryan made the 11u red all star team which is quite an accomplishment and honor. They are the most elite players at Tecolote and Ryan was PUMPED to be drafted for the team!
After only one season at Tecolote, Owen made the 7u blue all-star team despite being small and one of the youngest in the division! He was so proud to be drafted, and we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into.
Tournament #1 - Ramona
11 games in 3 days = delirious
To everyone's surprise and for the first time in history the 7u blue team BEAT the 7u red team to WIN the whole tournament! The kid one his first ring at 7.
Ry-guy started his all-star season with the team's first HOME RUN!
After a delay, they finished their last game at 9:30p Sunday night and had school the next morning!
Another ring for the Lawrences!

Redondo Beach Tournament:
Owen's coach decided to sign them up for a last minute tournament in LA over father's day (insert eye roll). He traveled further for a game than Ryan ever had! They played in an 8u tournament and got smoked but at least they only had to play 3 games!
Dirty kid
Sectionals at Tecolote - Ryan's team won the whole thing!
Tournament #5: Pinto sections in Fallbrook
When its hot you wear wet rags! Haha
We also got to watch Ryan's (and Owen's) bestest bud Zach play on the 12u team
Ryan has become great friends with his teammates!
So did Owen, he got to hang out with his buddy Carter and his family at a Padres game, only VIP for this kid!
Regionals in San Marcos - Ryan's team won AGAIN! They got to skip super region and go straight to zone!
Sectionals at Tecolote - Owen's team was runner-up!
New baseball do
Squeezed in a cutternation double-header one Friday night because God forbid we have a night off. Haha
For our final weekend of All stars we headed north to LA! Ryan played in Walnut and Owen 45 mins east in Moreno Valley.
First game - Ryan's team played the only team who has beaten then in an earlier tournament and they won! Ryan pitched and I just about had an anxiety attach watching.
Lunch for 34! Naturally Owen makes himself right at home among Ryan's friends.
Waiting to head to the fields!
Coach Johnny drove the boys in his "Tacos van"
Lots of ruckus in the rooms!
My handsome dude
Owen made buddies with Baer's brother, they were so cute :)
Supportive sister of the year right there
On our way to Owen's game - IT WAS 109 and hot as SHIT
Cooling off before his game
Owen's team played Tec red in the first playoff game and was tied going into the 5th inning and then lost by 3. What a season these boys had!
Ryan-guys team played their biggest rival and also held then for 5 innings and then lost 4-2. It was s pretty crushing loss for these boys - their last chance of making it to the world series :( Placentia went on to beat every international team by a 7+ runs a game so Tecolote sure gave that team a run for their money!
After 45 practices and 55 games in 8 weeks, the season came to a bittersweet end, and these boys were exhausted!
