Started our weekend off with hitting lessons with Coach Jeff. Ava started hitting lessons with Coach Jeff about a year ago as a tballer. She was his youngest ever pupil and she's made sure to make an impression on him. He's challenged her to do better, hit harder and yes...even run if she tries to bunt at a high ball. He's made her cry and she's made him laugh. It's been a journey for them both! This Friday, Ava hit a goal that is a pretty big deal at Coach Jeff's...she hit the cow bell at the end of the batting cages. The excitement from both Ava and Coach Jeff sure did make the sweat, tears and challenges worth it! :)
Carli had a tourney in Cedar Hill on Saturdasy so after hitting lessons, she and Keith headed to DFW. Carli was so excited to get her own hotel bed and not have to share with anyone! Ava, Drew and I met Grammy and Pa at Chili's for dinner. Pa treated Ava (and Drew) to a molten lava cake in celebration of her accomplishment!
Back home in time to play games and watch big trucks on kindles before I got my two minions into bed. Sibling bonding at it's best. ha!
We are still trying to figure out Drew's reflux and it turns out I think it's somehow related to pasta. He ate so good Friday night, but he shared pasta with me and he and I were up very late into the night b/c of his reflux. :( Ava on the other hand slept like a baby pretty much all by herself in my King sized bed! Our long night, meant Drew was a bit tired Saturday morning and when it got quiet while I was working in the kitchen this is what I found...
While Carli and her Texas Glory Team were playing ball, Ava, Drew and I got to go to see Ms. Patty, Kayla and Kinsey at Kinsey's wedding shower. It was really good to see them and Drew had a lot of fun picking on Ms. Patty! :) And of coarse it's always a good day when we get to see Kayla! Since he had an early morning nap, Drew knonked out all the way home after playing so hard at the shower!
Carli played in Cedar Hill this week at the Gobble Gobble Slam. She pitched the first game and we were disappointed when she was pulled b/c she didn't keep an eye on her runners. Once again, she pitched against the team that ultimately won the tournament. But, this Momma swallowed her pride and saw through the fog to know...although it's hard there's still a lesson there. Pa got to meet Keith and Carli at the tournament so he was able to go talk to her and get her to continue to cheer her team on and be a team player even if she wasn't happy with the decisions being made. Ultimately, we can't control it all. She came back after being pulled and got a hit to score two runs and eventually made it home safe sliding under a tag.
While Carli never got the chance to pitch again, she did play an awesome right field for a couple of games, throwing out a girl at third and almost getting on at second. Overall she did have a good day and our goal for today was to be a team player no matter where you are...on the bench, on the mound or in the field. Keith and Pa both said she achieved that today so that alone makes me one proud Momma! The team ended up in 3rd place for this tournament after playing six games in one day! Keith forgot to take any pictures...men! ha!
Once again, Keith and Carli got home late Saturday which allowed us to be able to all go to church together.
And finally...love this picture. "Brother & sister are kind of like Tom & Jerry. They tease each other. They irratate each other. But they can't live without each other."
