On the 4th, we just laid low at home...
The boys waited patiently until dark...
So we could go out front, watch the fireworks, and set off some little ones on our own.
On the 5th, Danielle and I met in Hawaii to visit our parents!
Below is a link to the slideshow that I made to recap the trip! Enjoy!
On the 18th, we invited Ryan's baseball team over for some fun before our last tourney of the year!
The following day was Meet the Teacher Day at the boys new Schools!
Evan chose our home school...San Tan Junior High! The Storm!
Ryan chose Carlson Elementary...The Champions!
Both boys missed the first week of school for the XDS World Series in San Diego, California!
The Opening Ceremonies were a great kick start to the tourney!
They announced our Stars as they paraded around the field!
Then a skills competition was held...Ryan participated in the HR Derby.
The following day it was time to PLAY BALL!
On Game Day #1, Freddy's Dad decided to make the trip...
And "Auntie" Tiffani, her sister Ashley, and Tiff's kiddos (William and Summer)
came down for a game that day as well!
Ryan pitched in Game #1 - Strikeout!
Another Strikeout!
And Another!
He also had a hard hit single that game!
In Game #3 Ryan had a great diving play at 3rd!
In Game #5 he hit a double to the right field fence...
And a hard hit single to center!
In the Semi Final Game, Ryan had another hard hit single...
And Another!
In the Championship Game, he had a single to left...
And a double to right!
Evan found a relaxing place to "support" his brother...
And out of 31 other teams in the 10U Division, our Stars came out victorious!
They went 7 - 0 in the tourney, and became the new XDS 10U Champions!
What a way to close out their season!
So proud of our Stars!!!
Freddy's Mom came with us on our trip to San Diego...
She enjoyed the beach with the boys...
Our VRBO house we rented a minute from the sand...
And our handsome young men!
They loved the ocean...
And so did Daddy!
We had some great food and drinks while on vacation...
And saw some gorgeous sunsets...
From our rooftop deck!
Anytime the boys had some down time, they would hit the waves!
They loved this spot because the waves were HUGE!
They would have stayed at the beach forever!
Our "not so little anymore" Beach Bums had a fantastic trip...and so did we!!!
When we got home, the boys started 8th and 5th Grades!!!
They loved their first week and are so happy they made the change from Private School!
On the last day of the month, Evan got to meet one of his favorite "You Tubers"...
James...The Odd 1s Out!
July was a month full of memories to treasure!
We can't wait to see what adventures we will encounter next month!
