Summer. Sun. Softball.

Summer, which apparently doesn't start in Oregon anymore until July, is here. That bright orb in the sky that I've been waiting to see since last September is here again, thank goodness! Not a moment too soon, Jackson begs me everyday to go outside, and now, thankfully we do spend most days enjoying the sunshine. Whether it's at our Stroller Strides class, the park, the water fountain, or our very own backyard, we are loving the weather!
Summertime means bbqs, camping, and of course, SOFTBALL!! I'm not sure a summer would truly feel complete if there were no softball. Weekends of softball, softball and more softball. That's how we spent our last weekend, watching Alex and her softball team go UNDEFEATED and win the 16u Cooper Memorial!!!!!!!! The first tourney I think they've won, and to go undefeated was icing on the cake! Alex had some great plays and a couple of awesome hits! The team played really well all weekend and definitely deserved their trophy!

And while we were watching the girls steamroll their way to victory, Jackson was......, well being a boy I guess! Sitting in the dirt. Moving rocks. Taking a swing with the bats. Climbing on the bleachers, which he soon found out also made a good set of drums. He thoroughly enjoyed spending eight hours at the ball fields each day!

It was fitting that the girls won this tournament, as it was their last for the season. I'm not sure what we'll do with the rest of our summer........Oh wait, we've got a family beach trip, someone has a 2nd birthday just around the corner, and we some prepping to do for next November :) Never a dull moment at the Crose Casa!
