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"

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!

Starbound Dance Competition 2009

Last weekend Madison competed at Starbound. It was a small venue, but was a great place for the first dance competition of the year. She competed in 5 dances, 2 hip hop dances and 3 jazz dances. All of her dances took Gold awards. It's always great to see her dances after all the hard work she puts in every day at dance. She did an amazing job and we had a lot of fun too!

Great job Madison and thanks for all the great memories! Hip Hop Dance "ROBBERS"
