Washington Cup Winners

 Max and the Celtic B12 Green team just finished 
a great weekend tournament at the Washington Cup.
They played solid soccer and won all four of their games

 and came away winners in their division.

Here is a peek at one of their victories (11-0 Celtic)

and a hat trick by Max (#27).

Soccer Highlights

All the boys did a fantastic job; it was fun to watch them play as a team.

Next up, SuperCopa!

Happy Easter

 A very happy Easter 
from our little bunnies to yours!

First up, coloring eggs.

Definitely a lot of creativity this year.

Easter morning.

The Easter bunny paid a visit.

Blitzen and Spangle were interested too.

Headed to Easter mass.

Annual family get-together and egg hunt.

At home, one more Easter surprise.

A scavenger hunt!

This one had the kids outside running all over the place.

Thankfully the weather was beautiful.

They successfully made it to the end. 

Happy Easter!

Bat Boys

 This weekend Max and his best buddy Kasen were over the moon 
to be official bat boys for the Nathan Hale high school baseball team.

It was the High School Baseball Classic played at T-Mobile park.

They had official Nathan Hale Raider hats and gear,

got to ride the bus to the stadium with the team, warm-up with the 'big boys'

and hang out with them during the game in-between their duties as bat boys.

Needless to say it was a memorable experience and one they both couldn't stop talking about.

And, Raiders played lights out and came away with a victory!

Perhaps the bat boys were their good luck charm?!

Or, perhaps it was the coaching...!

Fun Run, Our Style

 For the second year in a row,
we created our own St. Paddy's Day 5k Fun Run.

Lots of grown-ups, lots of kids, lots of fun!

Running buddies....go girls!

Cheers for the finishers!

(adult style)

(kid style)

Fuel for the runners.

Hooray for another 5k!

Looking forward to next year.

Happy St. Paddy's Day

 These two leprechauns were way into St. Paddy's Day this year.

Green breakfast requested:

Green lunch requested:

Last minute leprechaun trap making.

A creative attempt but the little guy got away.

But, gold and green treats were left.

I'd call that success?!

More Sports

Baseball season has officially kicked off for Max.

Luckily, he and his best buddy are still on the same team.

Looking forward to a fun season!

Carmen is trying something new -- volleyball!

So far she is really liking it and I'm proud of her for branching out.

She also has some good friends and familiar faces on her team.

Happy Birthday

 Happy Birthday Dad.
Today we are celebrating you.
Thinking of you, loving you.
A throwback pic.
You and your girls (and little Maxy too).
May you be at peace.
