We did it! The Reds won 1st place in our divison. The boys were ecstatic. We had to win both Thursday and Friday night to take first and we pulled it off. Dylan hit his first homerun on Thursday and then hit another on Friday (both were in the park). He was so excited as were Donnie and I. Our Reds team really pulled thru. All the boys hit and played great. On Saturday we had our team party in our neighborhood at the pavillion. The kids ate pizza, played, and recieved tropheys. After that we went to the ball fields where they got another trophey, but this one was bigger and better in the boys eyes because it was 1st place and everyone was there to see the team get it. Donnie was asked to coach all-stars in our division and now the fun starts. Dylan was one of the 12 boys chosen to be on the team so he is very happy. We will practice 2 weeks straight and then off to Grayson for the all-star tournament. It lasts a week, but it is double elimination. Hopefully we will be there the whole week. I think Donnie is just as excited as Dylan is. He loves competition. He is such a great coach and dad. He really goes that extra mile with our boys and the boys on his team. The tournament starts on June 21st so I'll let you all know how it goes.
On another note both Dylan and Dawson got promoted in school. Dylan will be in the 2nd grade and Dawson will begin Kindegarten. Dawson graduated pre-K and of course had to be a goof ball on stage. Dylan also had an awards ceremony where he got the most inquisitive (fits him to a T), and an academic achievment award. We were very proud of both the boys. They both enjoy school.
Donnie will be starting a new job soon. He is going to work for Stock Building Supply. The company he is with currently is closing on Friday. He is excited about the new opportunity. Please pray he has a smooth transition and this company will be as good to him as Ply-mart has been.
