     Mimi and Grandy were brave enough to take Weston and Connor road tripping out west to visit Uncle Brian, Andrew, and Grace in Woodland Park, Colorado.  The cousins had a great time playing together.  They went to Garden of the Gods, saw Pike's Peak, and visited the Adventures in Odyssey museum in Colorado Springs.

     We celebrated Weston's 9th birthday with some of our favorite things--a hibachi/sushi dinner at Mt. Fuji and Memphis Redbirds baseball at Autozone Park.  Weston asked for a bike, a rocket, and a Garmin fitness watch for his birthday.  He got a new red bike from Mimi and Grandy.  Mommy and Daddy gave him the watch, and Nana and Granddaddy gave him the rocket.
     Today, we went to our first Sunday Redbirds game.  Mimi and Grandy went with us.  The special thing about Sunday games is that the kids get to run the bases on the field when the game is over.  Weston, Connor, and James all ran the bases together.  It was a pretty neat experience! Those bases were much farther apart than the ones Weston and Connor are used to running.
      Next month, Weston and Connor will have their combined birthday party to celebrate with friends.  They are going to have it at the skating rink.

6U All-Star Baseball State Tournament

Quiet ride home
Connor and his 6U All-Star team competed this weekend in Richland, MS for the state tournament.  They played well, got lots of hits, but the final game came down to a bad call.  We were bummed, but the boys fought hard.  Everyone was exhausted from being at the ball fields all weekend and playing at the hotel, so we had a quiet ride home.
