Happy Memorial Day

 Miss you Dad

Last week

A rainy cold Monday softball game vs TA, only 3 innings vs 9 of their best EIGHTH grade players 😒 Lost 10-2

Wednesday they played Bonney Eagle and finally got some good competition. They lost 12-6, but it was back and forth and only a 1 run game until the 7th.

Caroline got the offense going in the 2nd inning with a hard hit single down the first base line and scored the first run to tie the game 1-1. There was some great hitting and awesome defense!

Best game yet!

Thursday Charlotte went for her road test and passed!

School, barn, work, repeat!

What a week!

 After a weekend away, it was one heck of a week!

Softball game EVERY day, I was hit with a bad stomach bug, Pat had rotator cuff surgery, and then Charlotte caught the bug, ugh!

I think we've had 14 games in 9 days, but who's counting!?!

Hasn't had a lot of practice pitching, but hey why not?!?

with Maddie catching

School game Friday at Marshwood, won 21-7

Dirt Dogs tournament Sunday 

Celebrating after with ice cream!

And Charlotte had a horse show that I missed, but Mimi and Grammy were there to support!

She had another awesome showing, 3 firsts, 1 third, and 1 fifth

Pat's doing well, he'll be back at it in no time!

First Middle School Game

 Monday at home against Noble - 18-2 Win

A team of 15 girls, including 10 Dirt Dogs

Caroline was happy to be starting at 2nd base

Tournament Weekend

 Wow....what a weekend! Caroline and I were away for a Dirt Dogs tournament weekend in Londonderry, NH. A hotel full of 12 girls, siblings, parents, and coaches, so fun and Loud! I love how ALL the girls get along so well and most are best friends.

Representing at school

First ones at the hotel on Friday

          Chicken with the high school coaches

          Celebrating Hailey's birthday

Day 2 - Saturday got rained out so all 3 games were moved to Sunday.

They had a full day of fun - batting cages and field space, Dave and Buster's, and the Mall of NH

And of course more pool time

Day 3 - Game day!

But first, hair!

And team cookout in between games

Such a fun weekend and memories made!

Weekend

Little League game Thursday night and Saturday morning and Caroline has been getting some hard hits to outfield and plenty of RBI's. She even had her first outfield hit as a Dirt Dog!

Lost a very close game against Biddeford

Won a back and forth game against another MLL team

Squeezed in a doubleheader against Fryeburg on Sunday before the rain.

I'll spare you my yelling, lol!

And Saturday Charlotte went with her 2nd family to a horse show in Saco to help out.

Vacation Week

 Charlotte spent all her free time at the horse barn and Caroline hung out with friends all week. Olivia came for a sleepover, Caroline went to Maddie's grandmother's for a sleepover and Maddie came here for 2 sleepovers. Throw in softball practice, games, and Charlotte's first horse show of the season.

At Maddie's grandmother's house

First little league scrimmage (yay for being on the same team for their last year of little league)

This girl worked HARD all week long, 9-10 hour days and she comes home dirty, tired, and burnt.

It rained ALL weekend so Caroline's little league softball games were cancelled on Saturday and her Dirt Dogs games in Fryeburg were canceled on Sunday. That meant I got to go to Charlotte's first horse of the season (in the rain!)

She did all 18' jumping classes on Champ and she did amazing for her first time. Two 2nd place and two 1st first place finishes!!

Oh and just a small spring project 😏

New leach field to replace the failed one

Weekend

Charlotte's friend Elizabeth slept over Friday night. 

Saturday, Charlotte went to her friends (who is also a Charlotte!) birthday sleepover at an Airbnb in Lebanon. So fun!

 

Caroline spent Sunday afternoon with Maddie at her grandmother's. 

It was a softball free weekend, but that is about to change! School softball and little league has started so things are about to get crazy! 3 teams and we are ready for it!

Happy Birthday Mimi!

 

Weekend

 Birthday celebration, softball scrimmage, sleepovers, and Urban Air!
