2010 OSTRICH FESTIVAL & SUNS GAME

Madison was very busy this past weekend performing. This was her 3rd year dancing at the Ostrich Festival. She always has a great time at this event. Afterwards, all the girls got to hang out & ride the rides. Madison also performed at the Sun's Basketball game this weekend. This was her first time doing a hip-hop routine for this event. After they danced we all got to stay and watch the game too!

GREAT JOB MADISON & THANKS FOR THE GREAT MEMORIES!

Baseball Update on Cade

This season of the Red's Club Baseball came to an end a couple of weeks ago. There last tourney was played out at Big League Dreams. The team had a tough tournement, but overall they placed 2nd place. Nice way to end the season.

A BIG THANKS to Coach Clay for all his hard work with the team and with Cade!

The same weekend club ball ended....Chandler National Little League started up. This was Cade's first season being drafted and what a great draft it was. Cade was drafted up to AAA, which doesnt happen very often for 9 year olds! His team is the Red Sox and Opening Day is Saturday March 27th.

GOOD LUCK CADE & GO RED SOX!

Cade's Club Baseball Update

It's hard to believe that Christmas is over and we are in 2010! Cade has played in 2 baseball tournaments this past couple of weeks. They have done very well in each tournament and are getting better in each one they play. They have only been playing since October and are ranked quite well for their division. In the USSSA standings for their 10U division, they are ranked 4th out of 26 teams. In the National standings overall they are ranked 26th out of 540....thats in the whole entire United States. Very nice!

Cade and the Chandler Reds have one last tournament to play in before they take a break for Little League Baseball.

GOOD LUCK CADE & THE CHANDLER REDS! KEEP UP THE HARD TEAMWORK!

Toys for Tots Baseball Tournament 2009

This weekend we spent most of our time driving to Peoria for Cade's baseball tournament. There was 2 games on Saturday, which they won and seeded 3rd overall out of 14 teams. Sunday was playoff day. They won their first 2 games, sending them to their 3rd Game for the Championship. Cade hit 2 doubles and 2 singles overall and had a some GREAT defense plays on 3rd base as well.

WAY TO GO CADE and GREAT JOB CHANDLER REDS!

Goodbye Butterscotch

Unfortunately today is a sad day....we had to put Miss B down. Santa brought Butterscotch to us 2 years ago and how sweet she has been. We had so much fun with her. She would run in her wheel all night long and was quite the adventerous one too. She managed to get out 3 different times. The first time was about 2 weeks after we got her...we found her in Cade's closet. The second time..she was behind the dryer. The last time she got out, we tore the house apart trying to find her. We ended up finding her in our closet......she made it down all the stairs & past the dog. Wow, it was like a scene from the Stuart Little Movie. She has been part of our family & she will be missed!

WE WILL MISS YOU "MISS B"

Madison and Butterscotch
Our sweet Miss "B"

Thanksgiving Baseball Tournament

While Brett was spending his 22nd Black Friday at work.....we were at Cade's baseball tournament. It was quite crazy for us, not only were Madison and I the cheerleaders, we were also texting play by plays to Brett so he could still feel like he was watching the games too! Overall they played 5 games and went 3 and 2, one of those games was for the Championship. They placed 2nd overall in the tournament......not so bad since it is only their 2nd tournament together!

Great job Cade and way to go Reds!
