MVP & Rookie of the Year!

The Dodgers team party was at All Star Pizza....kind of fitting :).  Braeden & Connor's coach gave out individual awards this year....
Brae received the MVP award, voted on by his teammates......pretty cool :)
and Connor got the Rookie of the Year....yes it's a bit blurry, but if you know Connor, you know he NEVER stands still!
Way to go boys! LL was quite a different experience this year....just not what it's been in the past...kinda sad. We were kind of hoping they wouldn't enjoy it so they wouldn't want to play next year....but nope - they had a blast!  Sad the season is over.....now we just have to wait for football season to get under way....

A Special Bond

Ella loves her Wessy. Actually he's just Wes, but that's what she calls him :). He LOVES it when she drops food! So at any snack/meal time, you can find him right next to Ella, just waiting for her to move so he can get her leftovers!
We love him. His heart murmor is getting worse, we know he's not going to be with us a whole lot longer, man he's been a great dog!
I often wonder what goes through this little girls head....she is deep in thought like this often. I'm guessing it has something to do with being stubborn & making sure she gets her way! She is a total daddy's girl, spoiled rotten! :)

Zach & Connor's Family Party

So as many know, I LOVE MAKING CAKES! Fun, crazy, custom cakes! For the boys family party, we thought a food themed cake would be fun.  This was the cake they chose.
A close-up of the cake...
Thankfully it was nice outside...shocking this year, I know!  Ella w/Garrett & Kennadee
They are just growing up too fast! Can we just stop time please?
The cousin's have fun jumpin'
...and just love playing together!

Some of the family and friends. The Andersons & Stevens joined our crazy family celebration....
Singing happy birthday & blowing out the candles...

Predators Players come to Wolfpack Signups!

So part of my job as Publicity Director for Wolfpack, is one to get our name out there, and work with local business' to sponsor us....so I thought, how cool would it be if I could get a few of the Predators players to come to our open registration day.........and I did it! They were awesome! They met the families..
and even played ball with the boys! So glad we have a local IFL team here! Thanks Predators!

Kent Predators vs. Fairbanks Grizzlies

Tre W. had asked Zach if he could come be a ball boy some time, after having watched the last game...so we brought him this week. They had fun.
One of our friends old boss' had a son playing for the Grizzlies, so he came & talked with the kids before it started....Shelley got this great picture of them!
The boys LOVE seeing their dad out on the field. It's fun when he comes to say hi to their friends.
Let's just say the boys weren't exactly following the rules this game. They weren't supposed to be on the field during any plays....just to throw a ball to the officials, then get right off....they were SO lucky they didn't get hit!
Tyson's name was still on the list after the previous game, so he came & helped too :)
It has been a fun season so far. It is great that our contact has invited Zach each week to be a ball boy & allowed us to bring his friends along. We've tried to bring different kids each week, to give them all an opportunity to be a ball boy. Hopefully we are able to get everyone a chance that wants one.

Happy 6th Birthday Connor!

Happy Birthday sweet son! We sure do love you! You are our precious miracle...such a sweet personality, that draws everyone in that comes into your life. Thank you for being such a great boy! Connor wanted Blueberry Pancakes for his birthday breakfast!
When he got home from school, we gave him his present.....a new rip stick/scooter.....cuz he's cool like that.

Of course the boys had a game on Connor's birthday! Brae fielding the ball for an out!
The birthday boy!
He had an awesome game! He even received the game ball!
After the game, we headed to Red Robin, for our traditional birthday dinner, celebrating Connor & Zach's birthdays :)
The 4 best kids EVER! Love you! Happy Birthday Connor & Zach!
