Update 2 - End of Season Softball Tournament

Friday April 20th: I wasn't there to see the game ( I was in DC) but I heard they lost a close one. I also heard Ellie tagged a girl out trying to steal 3rd base!

Wednesday April 18th:
No such luck tonight. The panthers went down probably on the order of 10 to 2, although I lost track of the score. 

Next game - Friday! 

Monday April 16th: 
Wow an exciting game on the AVGS fields tonight!

Panthers had a one run lead going into the bottom of the third. Somehow they managed to not allow any runs, possibly the only time all season they haven't allowed a run in an inning. 

Ellie had a nice hit and had a good stop out in center field. The girls were all excited for the W.  

Next game is Wednesday evening! 

Pink Panther Update

Today was the last regular season game for the Panthers, a LONGGGGGG season and I lost track of their Ws vs Ls. 

Ellie has come a long way, especially with throwing and catching.  

She has really struggled at the plate this year, she is very close but can never seem to get it in play.  Hard to hit off of kid pitching at this age.  

Here is to a fun season, tournament starts Monday! 

Spring Break

The girls spent the week in Phoenix for spring break 2018. The big news was that Stacey had her baby, a little boy named Ayden. The reports I get are that Stacey and baby Ayden are doing well. Really special that the girls could be out there to meet their new cousin. 

Since we were there over Easter there were lots of good easter egg hunts, at the Anthem club, GJ and Bobpa's house and Aunt Lisa and Uncle Les house.  

Cousin sleep over is always a big hit! 

A fun day down at Minnie's to celebrate Uncle Ernie's B-day! 

Ellie and Uncle Ted in an intense game of Chicken Feet! 

The Gruffalo

Last weekend we went to the Segerstrom Center for the Arts to catch a live showing of The Gruffalo, a popular kids book. Kids had a blast and did great sitting through a live show. 

Special shout out to GJ and Bobpa for getting all of us tickets as Christmas gifts back in December. 

Silly old fox, everyone knows there is no such thing as a Gruffalo!
