Home Run Number 4!!!

OK, here we go again, Chase hit his 4th home run of the season tonight!!! What a shot out to left field. I'm not the proud mama or anything right? But boy, what it does for his confidence!

Voice Recital

Sage had her voice recital last night and she sang "Not for the Life of Me" from the musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie. I'm always amazed at how natural she is on stage, I'm petrified for her because I would be absolutely petrified if it were me on stage, ha....that would never happen in my lifetime! She put on a beautiful performance and was a joy to watch and listen to (not that I'm biased or anything.....)!

Quebec Trip

Sage and I had a wonderful time in Quebec on her eighth
grade class trip. We toured Old Quebec, had a night out on the town where all the kids dressed up, she had a caricature done and went on a dance cruise up and down the St. Lawrence River with about 800 other students visiting the city! Here are pics of our trip. Yes, that's Sam in a couple pics and Sage's friends, Allison and Ali in another.

Tree ID Hike

Dad took Chase's cub scout troop for a hike in the Colby Arboretum to teach them how to ID trees. It was a beautiful warm day and when the boys were

listening, they learned a lot. Chase

was proud of

his Grandpa and would "remind" the boys to listen!

Homerun!!!

ok, ok, I can't resist.... Chase got another homerun tonight!

Another Great Game!

Okay, I'm bragging again, but this is what this blog page is about, how much I love my kids and am proud of their accomplishments!!!!

Chase almost pitched a no hitter last night. In the last inning, there was a hit and the player made it to first, but then tried for second when the first baseman bobbled the ball. Our first basemen threw the ball to second and the runner got tagged out! That was the only hit of the game against Chase. His team won 10-0 and Chase was awarded the game ball!

I missed this game because I was on a great trip to Quebec with Sage, but Mike texted me play by plays throughout the game!

Baseball

I don't have any photos, but what a game Chase had tonight!!!! A single to start, then a double next at bat and then a huge HOME RUN!!!! It was his second home run of the season! He also pitched the first two innings and had 6 strikeouts! He was given the game ball tonight. He was so excited. But you know what I liked most? When he was pitching, he threw a wild pitch that hit the batter. Before Chase threw another pitch, he walked over to the batter to make sure he was okay. I was very proud of him!

Whew! What a weekend!!!! Dance recital ended this afternoon with a fabulous finale. The finale was tap and the costumes were Vegas Show girl costumes complete with feather boas and head pieces. There was a kick chorus line and it was incredible to watch. This was Sage's first year in the Senior Line and she performed beautifully!
