Thriving Thursday!

(Celeste, Jennifer, myself. Taken by Ms. Ronna)

Last night we traveled to Chadron again for another tournament baseball game. AND WE WON! WHOOO HOO! We beat the Chadron Black team who has lost only one game. It was a tough go, though. AND, Matt got to play due to a precious little man J. who got mutton busted, and broke his collar bone. So, Matt made two awesome hits, and ended up making 2 points for us! We WERE SOOOO PROUD of him and his brother Andy. Andy played extremely well defensively. He threw many outs, and especially a couple to home to our pitcher Blaine, who got them out at the home plate. AWESOME! We were screaming in the stands with excitement! It was so great to see our boys play to their potential.


The last play of the game was extremely controversial to some. Andy threw the ball to Trevor L. on second base who stepped on the bag for the forced out. The umpire called it safe!?!?!? He obviously didn't see the force. THERE was a huge meeting of the minds of the coaches, umpire, and other official people near first base. Coach L. kept on the official for the correct decision, he really stuck up for our team.... so proud we were! (In the mean time, the Black team ran their players around the bases for a couple more runs-points- to our dismay!- they ended up NOT counting) So, the decision was made that the player on second was out! Game OVER! WE WON 9 to 5! Thank you LORD for the self esteem our boys just gained...... Coach L. was so proud, he was moved to tears! -

p.s. This is the song my kids LOVE right now.... so funny to hear Meggie sing, "Po, po, po, poker face!" And they are all dancing around!
