August 2023

 August means...Back to school, Back to soccer, Back to baseball and Back to Volleyball!  And we did it all!

For the first time ever, ALL FIVE Frericks kiddos are in real school, in the same building, riding the bus and almost on the same schedule!  

Hudson started 7th Grade.  She is playing on the Middle School Volleyball team, taking Spanish and is almost 13 Years old!


Sullivan started 6th Grade (Middle School..yay).  She is loving having a locker and changing classes and is set to try out for the Middle School basketball team!


Thomas started 3rd grade and is in the thick of what "real school" feels like.  Studying for tests and learning harder math..its tough but he is hanging in there!


And the Twins have finally joined them at school for their First Year of Kindergarten!  They LOVE it!  They are in separate classes but see each other at playground and in PE and love riding the bus with Thomas and our neighbors!


All five kiddos started soccer in August.  Hudson is on her same ECNL RL team, Sullivan made the 2012 Showcase team and is playing 11v11 for the very first time, Thomas is playing Rec soccer for the first time in several years and is loving it, Tinsley plays for TSC up an age group and Conner plays for TSC Pre-Academy.  They are all working hard and getting better every day!  Our calendar is like the most massive game of color coded Jenga you can imagine but we make it work with great neighbors, teammates and babysitters that can drive!




Hudson's middle school volleyball team is having a great season.  They have only lost two matches this season and head into the Middle School County tournament this week!  She amazes me with how fast she has learned volleyball and how well she does.  I know nothing about it but watching her on the court is so much fun!


Both boys are also playing baseball this year.  We have just had a lot of practices so far but games start in September!  

We were also able to squeeze in a trip to the Wilco fair again this year!  Always a family favorite!  The twins and Hudson are fearless and will ride any ride they have!  Sullivan plays it more safe and spent most of her time with a friend trying to snacks and doing the "safer" rides....haha.



That is about all for August!

September bring more of the same plus a BIG SIXTH birthday for the twins!!!

Here are the rest of our August adventures:
