What We've Been Up To

I have been neglecting this blog. I apologize to my readers - all three of them.

I can't believe summer is half over and the back to school ads are out. Each year goes by more quickly than the one before.

Since it has been awhile, I'm going to try to catch up in pictures.

Before school was out, Cassidy played Upward Soccer:

She was also part-time "coach:"

Whitney played 7th grade softball for the VW Cougars:

Then, regular season softball started. As usual, Whitney played for Convoy. Her team won the year-end tournament for four-county. They were also runners-up in their league for their season record. TWO tropheys!

Cassidy played for Ohio City. Don't ask me why my two kids play on opposite sides of the county, and not in the town we live in. It's a long story. Cassidy's Farmette team got a trophy for runners-up for season record. They lost in the first game of the tournament. I feel somewhat responsible since I let her swim TWICE that day. She was a little tired by the time she got to the game!

However, she was asked to step up to the Buckeye League OC team for their tournament. They had several girls on vacation and needed a few girls to fill in. They ended up coming in second in the tournament! Pretty good when you don't even have all of your players, and you are playing the #1 team!

The Farmette girls aren't allowed to slide. So, while she was in the Buckeye game, she took the opportunity to steal second and slide! No sliding shorts for this girl, so she had a pretty good strawberry on her "hip" when we got home!

Cassidy also made the Farmette All Star Team. They got to play at the Lambert Days Festival this past weekend.

Whitney was asked to play in a 13U tournament at Lambert Days as well. OC Green was undefeated and won the tournament! That makes three tropheys for Whitney for the softball year, and two for Cassidy.

Softball is finally over! (I think. Someone mentioned a fall league, but I'm pretending I didn't hear them.) However, no rest for the weary. Whitney has already started conditioning for Cross Country, competition dance tryouts are this week, and Cassidy's soccer coach called me yesterday to schedule practices. All we need now is homework... Ew!
