receital and baseball tournament

well it started thursday with shyla and her rehearsal for her end of the year receital. She had a ball doing all of the dances that she has practiced all year and we stayed until almost 10 to watch some of the older girls that shyla idolizes practise. Ryley had a baseball game in Ajax at 8:30. They won there 2nd game of the season. Friday night Ryley was suppose to have a game down at the lake (a baseball tournament), however a storm rolled in and it was cancelled. Steve however, said the wind was tremendous and more than one huge tree came down. Scary stuff. Saturday morning it was beautiful. Ryley had a game at 9 am. They won. At 1 we had to leave ryley with his coach to attend Shyla's dance recietal. She was in four dances this year: jazz, acro, ballet and tap. It was alot of costume changes, but alot of fun too. We left from there to go back down to the lake to watch ryley play his last two games of the day at 3:30 and 5:45...they lost badly the first game against an etobicoke team that was HUGE...some boys bigger than the umpire....the second game the boys were losing badly again, but came back in the last inning to win by one run, with a steal to home and 2 out...terrific way to end the day...ryley had one more game the next day at 9 and they won this one also and ryley had a huge hit, however the team from etobicoke won all four games so they advanced to the finals...yesterday afternon entalled catching up on groceries and cleaning and some relaxing with neighbours...all in all a great weekend...

dancing and baseball

On Thursday night, Ryley's team finally won their first game of baseball. They played against Cobourg. He had a great night at the plate. He went 3 for 3 and had a walk. He had 1 RBI, 2 runs scored and 6 stolen bases. He has earned the lead off batter position. He is playing 2 positions this year: 2nd base and catcher. He loves the catcher job, as he is always in the game. Ryley had his birthday party with his friends on Friday. He invited 3 girls and 3 boys. They had a lot of fun swimming etc., but I think that Ryley was glad for the girls to go home and have the real party start (the boys slept over).

Shyla had her dance pics on sunday. I got the group ones with the studio, but took my own on our wonderful court setting. I have included some. Ryley lost his game of baseball last night to Peterborough. I was like pulling teeth. I think they lost by 13 runs. Ryley went 1 for 2 and a walk. he played 2nd base. He almost got a double play.

Shyla has soccar tonight. She is playing for Whitby this year. Also, she is dancing and singing for the courtice fair and the new arena on bloor st. in courtice on Saturday, June 16 at 12:30.
