Well we survived "Maycember" and it was a doozy! Lots of sports, trips, school. parties, ceremonies, etc, etc, etc!
May started off with a volleyball tourney in Atlanta for Hudson and a soccer tournament in Nashville for both Tinsley and Sullivan.
Hudson's team battled hard in a big qualifier tournament in Atlanta and came up just one win short of qualifying for GNJC Nationals. She has grown and learned so much this season, it has been fun to watch!
Tinsley's team played in their first ever real 7v7 tournament against teams TWO years older. They won one and lost one 3-4 (their other game was rained out). But I was so proud of the way they battled and didn't bat an eye at playing girls 2 years older and three times bigger!
Sullivan's team had a great weekend. Unfortunately bc of rain they only got to play 2 games but they won both games and ended up tournament champs - also playing one year up in the top bracket!
We followed up that weekend with a Mother's day full of more sports.
Thomas' baseball team played in their second ever travel tournament and brought home first place in the silver bracket! They played so well and it was fun to watch them play against some good travel teams!
That same weekend Conner was selected to play in the FBC 6U All-Star game! He played great with a few big hits and plays in the field and his team ended up winning the all-star game!
Hudson had another volleyball tournament, this time at home and they finished second place!
Tinsley finished up her soccer season with an in-house tournament where her team went undefeated! It was hot but she played great!
The next weekend brought us the end of baseball for both boys and both of them wrapped up their season as league CHAMPIONS! But most special of all, Thomas hit his very first HOMERUN!!!
As sports started to wind down, so did school. Super proud of all the kiddos this year. Both girls were named to the A/B Honor Roll and Hudson won the Art Award for 7th grade! The twins had a great kindergartner year and grew so much. They both won citizenship awards for showing great character at school! Thomas had a tough 3rd grade year but I am proud of him for sticking with it!
The end of May brought us to the State Cup for soccer! Hudson's team had a tough draw and lost in the quarterfinals. Sullivan's team had a fantastic performance winning the Quarterfinals 7-0, the semi-finals 5-0 and brought home the State Championship (playing a year up), winning the finals 3-2 in overtime! Super proud of this team and everything they have accomplished. They work very hard and play well beyond their years! Looking forward to seeing how they do at the Southern Regional tournament in June in Tampa!
And last but not least, we celebrated Thomas turning NINE years old! We somehow managed to squeeze in a fun party with his school and baseball buddies!
Thats all for now. June brings us soccer regionals, volleyball AAU Nationals, camps, trips and finally some summer fun!
