Update...

Oops...the end of the tournament got very crazy but in the end, we took home 2nd place. Not only were we spared another 2 weeks of baseball and a week in Portland for the state tourney...we gained our SUMMER!!! Hallelujah, we are relaxed happy campers now enjoying the HOTHOTHOT weather, boating on the lake and an open free schedule...ahhh...big sigh...

Jett is 1 team away from winning the all-star tournament...

It's been a LONG 5 days and we have 2 to go hopefully to take home the district championship! Go Jett!

Locks of Love...3 ponies officially cut off...

The plan was for me and my girlies to cut all of our hair off together...I wasn't ready for a crazy short bob so I waited...today I cut off 10 inches and feel like me again...ahh...long hair is not me...ah...this feels GREAT!!!

4th of July

Sailor and I ran in the 4th race and she did her 2 miles in 17 minutes...she wanted to pass everyone she could...I had a hard time keeping up!

A fun June...

For Sarah's birthday and Father's Day we partied with Steve Martin and his banjo band. Oh my...he is amazing and when he encored to "King Tut"...we went crazy crazy...

Jett received many praises and 2 marriage proposals after a week as a counselor at Vacation Bible School. He loves working with the 2-3 year olds...they LOVE him!!! I am so proud of my boy for living many years as a kid at VBS and now giving back to the new little ones by loving on them, creatively getting them to listen and being a jungle jim for all to climb! Great kid!

Game 1...WIN...18-3...

Jett started the game pitching and did well. He got a triple and a double today...something he hasn't done in a game maybe EVER! The stands were filled with a sea of red ATP (Ashland Town Pride)...lots of people from the community and our younger 2 all-star teams, one that just won their tourney and is heading to state...we hope we follow... One W down, 4 to go!

12 years in the making...

For Jett, it's been 12 years in the making. For Josh, it's been 26 years since it happened for him. Little League 12 year old All-Stars...the big guys...Little League World Series potential! We're not holding our breath to go all the way like Josh did back in the day when his team went to Maine for the LLWS but we'd like to make it out of our own backyard and up to Salem for state. The anticipation (I refrain from using the word "fun" because I become a competitive, anxious ball of "FUN" starting tomorrow!) begins Friday night and continues through the holiday weekend and beyond.

My boys (coach and son) grabbed lots of spotlight in the first article of the tourney today. Jett's quotes are so cute! :) Go Ashland!!!
