Tournament of Screams

 

Rylee's team competed in their first tournament last weekend.  All the teams dressed up in costume.  They looked so cute!

They lost all three games the first day.  They went home that night, got some sleep and reset.  They came back on Sunday and won all 3 games!

They ended up coming in first in the skeleton bracket, and each won a t-shirt!

It was a fun experience and they did great for their first tournament as a new team.  They'll only improve from here and I'm excited to see what they can do this year!

Varsity baseball/ softball at Lakeridge

The kids just finished their baseball/ softball season at Lakeridge Middle School.

We had great weather for some games, and others games were rainy and muddy.  Typical WA Fall weather!

Rylee did not have a great season.  Her last 2 years on varsity were so much fun and this season was a let down, mostly because of coaching issues.  They ended the season with 3 wins and 6 losses.  Now to continue her select softball team and move onto school basketball!

Carson had a great season and had so much fun.  He was the only 6th grader to make the varsity team and he definitely held his own!  He started every game and mostly played 2nd.  He even got to pitch the end of one game and did great!  The boys ended the season with 7 wins, 2 losses.

The older boys were really welcoming to him and a few of them took him under their wings.  It was really sweet to see.  I'm so proud of my boy!

Rylee’s new softball team- Sundodgers 14u Morris

 

Rylee’s previous Sundodgers team, 14u Honey, moved up to 16u this year so Rylee decided to join a new team.  She wanted to stay at 14u another year (they can stay 2 years at each age level) and play with girls more her age.  She tried out for 5 different select teams (the Lady Knights, Avengers, 2 Acers teams, and Sundodgers).  She got offers for all of them!  She decided to stick with the Sundodgers since it’s close to home and we’re familiar with the organization.  I’m happy because we already have all the gear!🎉

She joined 14u Morris and is loving it so far!  She been playing shortstop which is great.  Last year she was only able to play outfield and she really prefers third base or shortstop. They’ve had a few scrimmages so far and lots of practices.  She is already bonding with some of the girls.  We’re hoping this year of softball will be a great one for her!

Their first tournament is Oct 21-22 "Tournament of Screams."  They even get to wear costumes!  Stay tuned...

Happy 14th Birthday Rylee!

 

I can’t believe my baby is 14!  My smiley Rylee is becoming a beautiful, smart girl.  She is so kind and caring, and just a wonderful human.  She loves cleanliness and organization.  She’s a girl after my own heart ❤️.  Her room is always spotless and perfectly organized.  She also helps out around the house without being asked… what teenager does that?!?  She manages to keep straight A’s despite her busy schedule and multiple sports.  We are so proud of her!

She had a fun birthday weekend.  Saturday morning she had her friend Lydia over to hang out (Lydia had softball practice so couldn’t come to the later festivities).  Later in the day we took her friends Ariya and Eva to Ocean5 for some duckpin bowling, laser tag, arcade games and dinner at Table 47.  We ended the night with bubble tea.

Sunday Rylee and I celebrated with a girls date to get manicures and pedicures.

On her actual birthday (Monday night) she had a rainy softball game at school and then we met Grandma and Papa and Jon, Mandy and Kennedy at Red Robin.  Happy bday to Rylee! 🎂
