The Little League World Series

Well, here we are once again...very behind on the blog.  Thanks to all the people that still check it even though I don't update a whole lot.  Life has just got really busy, but I do want to make sure I document all the really important stuff. 

Colton had his four year check up in May.  He is a healthy boy and ready to start GWA in August in K4.  Hard to believe that my baby is starting big school.  He is really excited about it and I can't wait to watch him make some really good friends.  He will also be able to start baseball in the spring of next year and then he will be able to play flag football at GWA next year.  It is his turn to have some fun. 

Gracie is had an amazing recital for baton.  She did so good.  I was so proud of her for really showing off her skills.  She caught her baton twice while throwing it in the air, I thought it was pretty impressive. 

Hayden has had a really busy season with Softball.  The Bulldogs went undefeated this Spring.  Then she made Allstars and they ended up winning the Tri County Tournament, which sent us to the State tournament and then on to the USSSA Allstar World Series in Gulf Shores, AL. 

Which leads me to the purpose of this blog.  I am typing this while in our hotel room in Gulf Shores, Al, while Hayden and Addalyn are singing and dancing around the room.  It has been an experience so far.  I just wish Mark could be here for all of it.  Hayden and I rode down with some really good friends.  Mimi and Pop are keeping Gracie and Colton and coming down on Thursday.  Mark is coming Thursday morning too.  My room is the fun party room at the hotel right now.  We have been doing a lot of the whip and nae nae song.  Lots of silly girls doing hair and making videos and dancing.  I wouldn't trade it for anything! 

This morning we took the all the girls to the beach to have lots of fun before starting lots of softball. Today we had our first pin trading with all the other Allstar teams.  It was certainly an experience for our girls.  They got lots of amazing pins.  Then it was opening ceremonies.  Which is a lot of fun.  They gave away a lot of free gifts and had the girls and coaches doing lots of silly things.  Our coaches did the whip and nae nae song in front of everyone.  It was hilarious and yes I have a video.  Then they got to be in a parade.  It has been a very busy and fun day.

Tomorrow we are having practice and then going back to the beach for a little while and then maybe some go carts and fun stuff.
