End of Baseball Season!

The Pirates Spring/Summer season is over! It has been the best season yet! We have the best group of boys and families! The boys and families alike enjoy our baseball games, tournaments, and just being together. It is hard to see the season end. Cade received a "Cy Young Pitcher of the Year" award from the coach. It was quite a compliment to Cader and us! We are always so proud of him but when others notice it too, it means just that much more. Cade has really developed a love for the game! He has chosen to play fall ball this fall season. Let's hope for another great season!

Coach Kevin and his wife Diane invited all families over for an end-of-the-season pool party! A great time was had by all!

Special thanks goes to all coaches!

Branson Fun!

We headed to Branson for a few days for Adam to do some business and have some time away as well. Our days and nights were full but so much fun! We went to 2 shows, Silver Dollar City, and Branson Landing. We made time for the pool, cooked out, and enjoyed Pop and Boca's lodge. Thanks to Pop and Boca for giving us the opportunity to stay at their lodge. Cade brought a friend (Noah) with him to add to the fun!

Celebrating the 4th!

We go to Mike and Cheryl's (Pop and Boca's) every 4th of July for an annual celebration with food, fireworks and fun! It was a great turnout this year! I captured some moments of fun on the 4th!
We ended our evening with ice cream and watching the Platte City Fireworks display on the school campus!

Catching up!

WOW! We have a lot of catching up to do! With the end of a school year, summer school, and all of Cader's activities, we have been busier than ever! Cali and I are officially Cade's taxi service this summer! Each day is full with multiple activities between baseball, guitar, drums, golf, hitting instruction, running him to friend's homes, and fishing/frog gigging with his uncle Kyle. In the summer we never have a schedule to follow. That's the beauty of summer! However, this summer has been an exception. These days I have to look at my daily schedule. I wouldn't change it for the world! Take a look at our lives in May and June!
