Hannah Softball

April took this picture of Hannah at her last softball game. She stole home quite often and had one really good play at third base. No hits this year but softball at 9 and 10 years old seems to not have good pitching. Lots and lots of walks!! Anyway, we are getting ready for our tournament which should be nice and hot. Hannah wants to play again next year so we may do some practicing over the summer and fall.

Field Day

The kids had field day the last couple days of school and these pictures were on our school website. Our PE teacher sets up all of these fun outside games and the kids have a blast. This one is of Katy passing a soaking wet sponge back to her classmates. Hannah is very upset that there were no pictures of her but she did have a great time. Kudos to our teachers and all the volunteers that worked these two days!

Knox's Pitch

Okay, it seems as though I am full of sports stories but one more couldn't hurt...Knox pitched in his first game the other night and did really well. He seems to like it a lot which is surprising since he has never played organized baseball before. He walked two batters, allowed one hit and struck out two. The team only allowed one run while he was on the mound. The inning before and the inning after each had seven runs scored from the other team so his inning was really good compared. Our league has a rule that pitchers can only pitch so many innings within 72 hours and all three of our regular pitchers were out (we were playing a tournament). Knox has already asked if he can play fall ball so I guess I better learn more about baseball!!

First Swim Meet

First swim meet was last night at our pool. The girls had participated in a pre-season five week class that I think really gave them a boost last night. Hannah is ranked sixth out of about 300 swimmers in her age division for short free. She is 21st in breaststroke and 23rd in backstroke. Backstroke is her best event but she had a bad swim last night so I am looking for that one to improve a lot. Katy was neck in neck with her sister last night and put in some really great times. Knox didn't swim because his baseball team was off winning their first game of the tournament! All in all, a great evening for the Rushton/Osborne's!
