Alex gets his first hit vs Okemos!

Alex played against Okemos tonight and got his first hit!  He did great pitching and fielding, too. Made several good plays in the infield.   

Alex's first kid pitch baseball game

So after practice on Thursday for his machine pitch team the coach called on Friday saying he thought Alex was good enough to also play on the kid pitch team.  So he will be playing on both teams!  The first game was this morning with a scrimmage between the two mason teams.  He got to pitch for an inning, play catcher, and made a great infield play at short stop.  With Izzy going for soccer evaluations next week, gonna be a fun summer!  

First 80 degree day and baseball!

It sure feels like summer now!  Alex is in full swing with baseball practice and we finally have an 80 degree day!!  Let summer begin!

Emma ran her first 5K!!!

Emma ran her first 5k today, in the Mason State Bank 5k run.  So proud of her!  The weather was a little cold and rainy, but she did so good.  Lots of fun watching her and her friends do the run.

Happy 9th Birthday Olivia!!

Olivia is 9 years old today!!  Unbelievable.  She is getting so big.  These are a couple pictures from yesterday and today's parties.  She had to have these cups called 'snackeez' that you put a snack in the top and a drink in the bottom.  Got enough for everyone but since they were her idea she got them.  What a hit.  Happy Birthday, Olivia.  Love You!!

Olivia's First Communion

Olivia had her first communion today.  She looked so grown up and beautiful.  Thanks to all that came to support her, we had to fly home and celebrate her birthday with extended family because tomorrow on her real birthday we have a school play that Emma is in!  Photos to follow of her birthday.

Pistons game and shooting on the court!

Last night Emma, Olivia, Alex, Tim and I went to the Pistons/Celtics game.  The Pistons were down by about 18 in the third quarter and ended up coming back and winning!  The kids, especially Alex, really got into it when they were making their comeback. After the game we got to go out on the court and shoot a free throw.  I hadn't been to the Palace in about a decade and this was the kids first game. Late night, but fun.
