Hello blogging friends!
My family and I had a restful and wonderful time at the beach. In fact, my daughter stayed an extra week with her friend, Briley whose family came down the week after us. A part of me wanted to stay too. I LOVE the beach! However, my husband and I had somewhere else to be…the ballpark in Knoxville, TN!
Our youngest son, Parker, (soon to be 13) is playing baseball for the Goodlettsville All-Stars. So, we left Florida and were State bound!
So far, our team has gone undefeated with no runs scored from the other teams. Last night, Parker had a BIG Night! Here’s what the Dixie Youth Homepage reported:
The Goodlettsville 11-12 All-Stars played their second game of the state tournament today versus the host team from Kingston winning 10-0 in four innings. Parker Campbell pitched strong innings giving up only one hit, striking out 5, and walking one. Campbell also helped his cause in the first with a line drive bullet over the center field fence for a quick 2-0 lead. Two more homeruns were hit by the lads in blue and gold with one each coming from Zander Jett and Aaron Pecenka. That brings the homerun total to 6 spread among six different players.
Tonight we added another victory to our side winning over Parkwood 10-0 again!! But that’s not the only exciting news I have to share.
Our very own Austin Franklin pitch a PERFECT game striking out 12 batters in a row ending the game in the fourth inning with a 10 run lead!
Excitement around here is bouncing off the walls!!! The boys are playing hard giving it all they’ve got to become the State Champions of 2009!!

Congratulations!!!
It is so exciting to be a mom of boys/girls that play ball.
I have an 11 yr old daughter who pitches for a fast pitch team.
We had a "on the edge of your seats kind of game yesterday."
It was our last time up to bat, my daughter was on third and she slid into home to score the winning run! We ended the season by winning the tournament. Those girls were screaming with JOY!
Wishing you another WIN!!! Have a great time!
Have a safe trip home

How fun it is to be a mom of a baseball player. My 13 year old is also playing on the All-Stars team and we are headed to State this weekend.
Fun memories being made. Cherish them!

Ah – nothing like youth sports. I know just the feeling as we have spent hours at the ball field this year as well. Just got the email that you will not be evaluating our speakers group…bummer, but I completely understand. The ladies in your new group will be very blessed. 🙂
