Super Sunday

Well as calm as our Saturday ended up being due to the rain, our Sunday more than made up for it. We found out Saturday night that the Dazzlers would be continuing the tournament that started on Friday starting at 8:00am Sunday morning. That is the time we are usually at church so we reworked the schedule and thanked God for two church services and our church being so close to the house and ballfield. 

The girls gave it all they had at 8:00am. Kaylee hit every ball that came her way but alas we lost the game which meant that we would play again at 12:20pm. As soon as the game was over Campbell and I hoped in the car to get ready for Bible class at 9:40am. Left field at 9:ooam, got dressed for church, and were back in the car by 9:30am. My parents, Kaylee, and Cary got two hours to get ready since the adult classes were not meeting on Sunday due to a Senior reception at class time. 

The church service on Sunday was very special for our family because Kaylee was presented with a Bible from the church to show her how

 important she is to our church family and that we are all there to give her the tools she needs to follow the Lord all the days of her life. It is such a gift to have so many people who love and want to help you lead your child in the ways of the Lord. Thank you church family for your amazing love for our children, we are truly blessed!

Next up, 12:20pm ball game. This was one of the best games the girls have played this year, especially for Kaylee. She was hitting the ball great and she caught a pop-up fly ball to get one of the hitters on the other team out. I do not know how she did that with all the gear she has on as catcher, but she did it! The smile on her face as she beamed with pride (and her Daddy too) was worth the whole season to me. Unfortunately I was not camera ready so I did not get it on film but it will forever be in my memory. She has had amazing teammates, coaches (it helps that Dad is one), and parent support from all the parents which has made this experience fabulous. Having all the parents there to cheer each girl on and encourage them even when it has not been their best game has meant the world to Kaylee. She is already talking about playing again next year. I think we have an athlete in the family, I cannot claim any of those genes;-) We ended up losing the game but none of us could be overly disappointed because they played their hearts out. Kaylee's consolation prize was getting to eat at Red Lobster with Papa, Nana, and the rest of us. Of course, Kaylee was very happy to have crab legs and shrimp for her meal so at least that made not winning a little more bearable. 

Once we got home we all had some rest time before taking on the remainder of the day. It was so pretty outside that Nana and I took the girls for a ride on their bikes around the neighborhood to enjoy the beautiful Lord's day. Then we ate some delicious grilled hamburgers by my Hubby on the patio and just enjoyed the wonders of nature. After that Kaylee decided that a family game of dodgeball was in order so while I cleaned the kitchen the rest of the family provided the entertainment. It was the perfect end to our crazy day.
