"And this is why we pray for our boys!!!!" I texted this to Mike as I watched Matthew and his friends load up a trailer with four wheelers and dirt bikes! They loaded up their toys and went to Potter County for the weekend. Matthew had fun but came home with a fat ankle, dirty laundry, lost keys and memories made with his school buddies! We pray for our children often and especially on weekends like these when I know they are playing and riding on these fast toys! Boys will be boys and these are now growing up to be young men! I love to see them have fun!
Austin just came through his first ball tournament and it was a hot one!!!! Our spring weather has been on the chilly side. We are ready for warmer, balmy weather but on Friday we got hit by a heat wave and it shot up to 90 degrees for three days straight! Friday night, the Flames played two games and won both! Saturday was another HOT day but the boys played well and went undefeated to the finals! They played two games Saturday afternoon and then ended up in second place after two more games in the finals against the Dolphins. This was a long day for everyone but they did great! Austin played back catcher, right field and left field. Being a Back Catcher is actually a tough job because he had to throw back every pitch that wasn't hit while the rest of the team waited for the ball to come to them after a hit. Austin's arm was a little sore but he did good! It was fun watching this team!!!!
And being on the team with cousins is a big, big bonus!!!! Austin and Adrian had a blast!
Ashlyn spent most of her Saturday at the Damien Foundation Wiffle Ball Tournament. We hated to miss out on this event but we were with Austin at his games. She got a cute start to her summer tan!
Good job Flames!!!!
