April
This month has been filled with beautiful weather and a super busy schedule!
Baseball season has started and Hudson has moved up to the 9/10 year old leagure this year....which means full on baseball....bases can be stolen, kids are pitching, regular ball/strike count, etc. This makes it SO much more stressful!
Our team got off to a slow start this season. We have 3 losses and 1 tie. But, that tie felt like a win....we came back from 9-3 by scoring 6 runs in the last inning of the game to tie it!
Hudson pitched for the first time. He looks good on the pitchers mound doesn't he?! It was a rough intro to pitching. He walked several and his team didn't field well. So, the inning went on and on and on! Was so relieved when they got the 3rd out...he was too! Bless his heart!
They finally won their 5th game of the season. Hudson has gotten walked a couple of times and has struck out a couple of times but finally got his first hit! Here is is:
Lawson's cheer team got to perform before the game at a Naturals game.
Hudson lost his TV/electronics priviledge for a few days as a punishment. One of those days when I came home, I found him doing this. Digging. He dug from 4:30 until I made him come to shower at 7:30. Lawson even voluntarily joined him until I made her come in to do homework! He said he was just looking for cool rocks! Talk about cheap entertainment!
Here are Lawson's team cheer pics. (3 girls were not at pictures)
Lawson had one last cheer performance at Razorfest...which is the pregame festivity before the Spring Red/White Football game. We had a blast at this event. The weather was F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C!
There were lots of booths with freebies and carnival games...which is always a huge hit with my crew!
As soon as Lawson's group got done performing, the Razorback cheerleaders and Coach Bielema took the stage for a little Q & A about the upcoming season. So, it was like Infiti was the opening act for Coach Bielema! Not bad!
Tusk parked right beside us as we were waiting for Lawson's team to perform. The kids like seeing him up close. I, however, did not...he was frothing at the mouth! Yuck!
We sat on the front row...which was Hudson's call. This game is FREE so we took full advantage of sitting front row...because we could never afford those tix!
The game was a little slow...but we were throughly entertained being up close to all 3 mascots, cheerleaders, and the band! One field gold was deflected off the upright and landed right beside Hudson. He picked it up and threw it back to the ref who commented "Nice throw kid!" Make Hud's day!
We ended the month with THIS girl's 6th Grade Spring Band Concert! And SHE rocked!
The kids went from buzzing in their mouth pieces, learning how to put their instruments together and playing short simple melodies and scales at the November concert....to full on recongizable songs with harmonies and difficult rhytms. The band and their director were beaming after the concert...and I could see why! So, much learning has transpired! Such an accomplishment!
Here are some of the highlights:
