September in the Sanchez Household!



Fall Baseball began with a Labor Day Tournament in Flagstaff!
We are a 9U team and had to play 11U because there wasn't a younger division!
The first game we tied 2-2!
The boys always do this little chant before each game...so cute!
"I believe that we will win!"


Game #2, Ryan snagged this little pop up at 2nd!


Ryan pitched really well!
Strike 3!!! Woohoo!


He had a good eye at the plate also!
We'll take that walk!
We won!  17-2!


Game #3, Ryan helped with an almost 6-4-3 Double Play!


Great Grab Ryguy!
Unfortunately we lost this one,
but we were so proud of the boys!
Especially since they are 8 & 9 and they played against 11 year olds!


Game #4, Ryan made another nice little pop up grab!


The last game of the tournament was the championship game for the B bracket!
Ryan made another nice little play!
We lost this one 11-12, but we finished 5th among 9 teams!


The weekend was definitely a win for the Stars!
Amazing what these boys accomplished for such young guys!




September in our household also means Fantasy Football Drafts!
Ryan wanted to help Daddy!




Evan had a project to create at school.  He was to make himself into a "Me-anthderthal"!
Mission Accomplished Dude!  Great work!  I guess he had to draw each hair individually!




Wacky Day at school was given an "A+" effort from the Sanchez Family!


Our shy children!  Lol!




One of Ryan's friends from baseball asked if he could go to DBacks game with them!
The Giants were in town, so Freddy got them Field Passes!
This was Ryan's first MLB Game to attend since Daddy retired!


Matt came over to say hi...


As well as Bruce and a bunch of other guys!


Then the boys got to experience all the fun of being at the ballpark!


A big part of that is FOOD for Ryan!


He is an eater for SURE!!!!


He had an awesome time!
Thank you Justin and Miss Erin for having him!



My boys deck themselves out in USC gear before each game!
They are die hard fans even though USC is having a rough start to the season.
  



The first game of the regular season was on the 13th.
At the beginning of each day, they play the National Anthem, 
so the boys line up on their respected foul lines. 


Ryan got a nice hit...


And a timely walk as you can tell by my cheering!
It wasn't quite enough to pull this one out, but the next time we face the Dominators,
it will be a different outcome for sure!  ;)




For the 2nd Game of regular season,
Ryan had a nice hit!
We run ruled the Monarchs!




On Friday the 16th, Victor and Sujey surprised Freddy with a visit!
He texted Freddy and asked him if he got his package.
Freddy opened the door for a big surprise!


We had a great weekend with them!


Sujey even taught Ryan to use the filters on Snapchat!




Evan had been working up to this ramp at the skate park!
Good job Big Boy!  You did it!




The 3rd Game of the season, the boys played the Monarchs again.


Ryan pitched!


Strike 3!!!


Strikeout #2!


Another Strikeout!
Great pitching Ryan!!!


Daddy congratulated him when he came out of the game!
Another W on the board for the Stars!




The next game, Ryan made the play in the above link...


He also walked, tripled & doubled!
This link is to his triple!
Another sweet win for the Stars!




Evan's elective for the 1st Quarter at School was Theatre...


He got cast as Batman in the Theatre Showcase before Fall Break!
He did awesome!




To round out the month, 
I figured I would show off my handsome 3rd Grader...


And my handsome 6th Grader!
We are looking forward to the Fall!
We hope you are all well!

Back to School!


We started out the month with Back to School Night.


Ryan is in Mr Malone's 3rd Grade Class this Year!


Evan is in 6th Grade now!
His Homeroom Teacher is Mrs. Yocum.
She is also his Science Teacher.




On the 1st Day, the new Head of School
was outside greeting the kiddos!


My Big Boy...


They are both growing up too quickly!






Evan was out back one day and found a friend!  A praying mantis!

August 7th was our 14th Wedding Anniversary!
this was a collage I made of our...
Wedding Day, Honeymoon, 5 Year Anniversary, 10 Year Vow Renewal,
and then I included a current pic.




The first Family Fun Night of the school year was at Skateland!


Everyone got in on the fun!


Ryan dabbed while Evan helped the little ones!




On Picture Day, Evan wore his favorite color... 


As did Ryan!




The first weekend of the school year, we had some Play Doh time! 


It was nice to see the boys' individual creativity!



With baseball season right around the corner, 
Freddy decided to teach Ryguy his baseball juggling trick!
He got it down pretty quickly!  They were both so excited!



The first game the Stars played this fall was a scrimmage, just for fun and practice.
Ryan made a nice solid play at second...



And did some catching as well! 
It was a fun day!


Here are the 2 teams after the game...


And here are the Stars in front of their banner.  They each signed it and gifted it to
Thomas, who left our team because he was the oldest kiddo and is unable to play tournaments with us.  He is now on the team we scrimmaged that day.
We will miss him and his family!



Evan wants to join the golf team at school,
so his buddy Quinn took him our for a round of practice one afternoon!




This is an example of Evan's artsy side!
I thought it was very neat!  It was an assignment he did at school.

Looking forward to some fall weather now that we are rolling into September!
Take care everyone!
