Water Weekend

 Xander competed in his District Championships meet Friday through Sunday at City Pool, I love the outdoor meets and the pictures of course, especially when it is 7 minutes from my house.

 Afternoon break to go boating with the Millers

His first time wearing a swim cap and his first debut in the paper:)

View from the dj

Kingston's first time off the diving board, I love seeing my kiddos accomplish things for the first time and their so proud/excited face, it doesn't get old, even with the 4th kid.

Diamondbacks

 Monroe & Bonnie both pitched against each other in tourney play, fun to see the softball/ softer side of these girls and they had the MGA girls/coach in the stands.

 I love that Roe loves to win but doesn't take softball seriously, we had a great volunteer coach again Miss Tyler!

 Great job girls!

I think that we have reached the end of Monroe's softball career for now, although she would probably disagree. Parks & Rec gets to be brutal to watch, but these girls still had a great season and finished 2nd in the league.

Fun on the 4th

 Started the 4th off by hitting the Kiwanis pancake feed with Grandpa & Grandpa Say in the 57 chevy

Congrats to the antique car winner in the Wah-Shun-Gah Days Parade!

 waiting in line to be flushed by the toilet bowl

 Spent a gorgeous afternoon on the 4th at Kenwood Cove in Salina

 Kingston liked the wave pool, I think he is beach ready!

 this was super fun and crazy toilet bowl slide, you had no idea how you were going to be flushed out

 "I believe I can fly" ;)

high diving

 

 my favorite picture all day

 Jude getting flushed

 Henry's had us over on the 4th, I don't think I stopped eating all weekend,
they are getting so big, no kids in diapers anymore!

 

future grillers

So long Stix, it was a great season!

 Stix went 3-0 on Saturday of the state tourney, it was really great! We lost our first game Sunday by one run after being up the whole game, it was a tough loss, but no regrets, the boys played hard.

Jude liked to aim for his dad down 3rd base line, and his ball did leave a mark :)

 one of my favorite pics

 We finished our season playing Riley who we had lost 3x before by one run each time.
We run ruled them in both games, these kids have come so far this year, so proud!

 We had the opportunity to be the Stix team this year and not sure what that will look like next year as a 9u team, I am a little bit dreading the kid pitch, walks & base stealing.

hotel fun

 The Nutters arranged an awesome gathering out at their neighborhood with water balloon baseball, swimming, bbq and Rookie movie, truly a great group of kiddos.

Camps, Cousins & Stampede

 Xander went to his first overnight camp to King Solomon, I think it was harder on me than him, I missed this guy, I talked to him twice on the phone for maybe 2 minutes, he loved the food:) and the experience.

 Jude's first baseball camp, this was also a great experience and he was all smiles

 Running bases, yes we need help with this, thankfully several of his team attended as well.

 Roe was invited to 4-h camp for a long weekend.

  Other than being hot on the top bunk, I think she also had a great time and talked up the food, I am sensing a theme here.

 We got to spend some time with Addie and Charlie, Nashville Says for a few days, nails were on the top of the agenda!

 Enjoying the park

some much needed sleep:)

Jeanne took the girls to Norman for the Bart Conner & Nadia gymnastics camp also for a long weekend. Roe said Bart & Nadia were there the whole time, I think that is awesome. Bart spotted her on bars, their son jumped around on the trampoline and Nadia worked out there over their lunch break, I would recommend!!

first day jitters

 Thank you Jeanne for showing my girl around the town.

 Enjoyed some Florida Georgia Line, they put on a great, mostly rap show, Trav thought it was Vanilla Ice at first

 We ran to our car Sat morning that we left parked at the camping ground Friday night, the "tubes" are crazy right now!!

 girls night to Jerrod Niemann Thurs night

fun times, fun girls
