Big Week of Games

We haven't been doing much besides spending time outdoors and eating.  Really.  

This was a couple of weekends ago.  

I had to document the fact that Brody actually ate Chinese food.  

Mason always eats well and loves to impress....

Last Friday was finally warm and sunny.  

We finally took a turn with the weather, and we were excited!

Early Saturday morning t-ball practice calls for donuts at the end with your teammates. 

Our soccer game was rained out due to wet fields on Saturday, so we were finally able to see the twins' games.  First up was soccer. 

And then we got to see them play t-ball. 

Brody was so excited to watch them play. 

And even better than that, they got to go to Reese's soccer game together, while we had baseball.
They found a ditch and went to town.....

Saturday night, we went to Railgarten with friends.  It is a giant bar/playground for adults and kids.  It was beautiful out and the kids had a BLAST.  We seriously have to do this more often.  

All the kids played while the adults watched/mingled.  We ate burgers and Mempops.  Left by 8pm and were all in bed by 9.  That is my kind of Saturday night!

Sunday morning wearing summer church clothes. 

Then we stopped by Academy.  Mason has been begging for a big barreled baseball bat.  Most of the other kids have them, but he had been hitting fine with his skinny, cheap bat.  He asked on a good day and John turned the car around and bought him one.  

He.  Was.  So.  Excited.  

We came home to practice a bit but then had to get ready for soccer.  

Our soccer game was finally ON for Sunday. 

The look after your team scores in the first minute of the game.  

(we ended up getting killed, so it was short lived)

But he hustled for the ball and never gave up.  

This week has been a busy busy week of sports. 

Due to rainouts, we had baseball Monday-Thursday and a soccer game Thursday. 

Monday night, Mason his two home runs and won the game ball.  

Talk about excitement.  Now to buy another case....

And as you can imagine, he is loving his new bat.

Brody had t-ball Tuesday.  He has been perfecting his slide into home!

And he was so excited Teagan came to cheer him on. 

Wednesday night was a big night.  We played the Cardinals and had split the first two games with them.  Neither team had lost another game.  Whoever won Wednesday should win the regular season (if all goes as planned).  All the parents were nervous which was pretty funny.  Kids were so excited. 

We ended up winning pretty easily.  Our team has improved so much over the season.  Their defense is really good, and every one of them can hit really well.  

Mason chose pizza after the big win. 

He looks tooooo big here!!!!!

Last night was busy.  Mason had a baseball game at 5:45 and then a soccer game at 6:30.
He started the night out with a home run.  They ended up winning easily and the game ended early, so he hardly missed much of soccer.

Brody LOVES going to the games because all of his friends are there!

It was a beautiful night out.
I don't know what it is but this is the second soccer game after baseball.  Maybe he is still high on adrenaline, but the kids runs his little heart out.  He is so quick and does a good job of disrupting the game.  He had a couple of shots on goal that just didn't go in.  He was awesome out there.

Coach wanted him to kick in the penalty kick this game.  

And he scored.
He was pretty pumped.

Im pretty sure I couldn't play two games like that, but it didn't phase him.
It could have been a tough night, but he never once gave less than 100%.
Pretty proud of that energetic 8 year old of mine!
