Baseball Time

Marcus is having a blast playing baseball this year. They played Newport and Grami was there with her camera. 

Marcus plays center field and loves it 

He wasn’t going to play this year but decided since all his friends were playing he’d give it one more year. 

Smack!  He got a single!

He steals 2nd. He ended up scoring too. 

Love that smile. 

So handsome. 

He really does like this game. 

They ended with a win!

Riverside!

Thanks coach Dallas. 

Fun times. 

As Grami pointed out…Marcus is officially taller than me. Oh well.

Thanks for coming!

 

What a game!

Riverside played Lakeside tonight.  Lakeside was leading the league; Riverside was 2nd. Emma got to catch finally.  

The game was crazy. We went into the 7th inning down 10-4. The girls just kept chipping away and all of a sudden it was 10-9!  At one point Olivia was up with bases loaded but they walked her. 

The big finish…score was 10-9 Lakeside. There were 2 outs and Allison was battling at bat. I believe it was full count and she hit one right down right field line….foul…then another foul down left field line. Then she connected perfectly…A GRAND SLAM!!!

Riverside won 13-10!!!  

Campbell and Annie came to support the girls. So fun!  Congratulations Lady Rams!

 

Ax Throwing

I got to experience ax throwing through a work function a few weeks ago. Here’s my team at work!

I was the worst one of the bunch but it was fun!

I got to try again today for our book club activity.  

I did much better 

Brenda was the winner. 

I love this group!  We read Being Mortal by Atul Gawande…I highly recommend it!  

 

Lady Rams Softball 2022

Riverside softball is going strong. The Lady Rams were in 1st place in league up until last night. After a tough loss to Deer Park they fell to 2nd place. We still have 2 games left plus playoffs. This is a team of mainly sophomores so the future is bright!  Thanks to Grami I actually have a few pictures of the season so far!

It’s baseball season for Riverside 8th grade!  Go get them Rams!  

 

Seattle Trip

We were in Seattle for 7on7 this weekend. It was perfect timing for Raymond’s 50th birthday!  We had one of Marcus’s teammates, Greyson, with us. 

We had a pizza dinner and cake to celebrate Raymond. 

Saturday afternoon was pool play. 

The girls got to tag along this time to support Marcus. 

Go No Limit!

I love #25

The boys won 1 and lost 2 in pool play which set them up for Sundays bracket. 

They played at noon Sunday. Marcus is getting the play call from the defensive coordinator (Marc). 

Great coverage Marcus 

Marc with his defense. 

Keep it up Marcus 

More strategic talk. 

You’ve got this 

Great job boys. 

Unfortunately they lost by one touchdown 

The team that beat them went on to win the whole tournament. I say we did great!

The ride home was interesting. Snow on the pass!

We are lucky we were able to get across. That was the extent of our spring break this year. Kids are back to school today.
