2014 Baseball Season

Griffin played baseball this Spring, and he had his last game tonight. He was on the Cardinals team (which he was so excited about). This was his first year to play in the kid-pitch league which made for much slower games. He loved playing 2nd base and outfield. He also had a very short-lived career as catcher in one game (he said he never wants to play catcher again)! Here are a few pictures from the season.

Griffin's 10th Birthday Party

For Griffin's birthday he wanted to have some friends meet at Tobey Park to skateboard.  We compromised by letting him ask his friends to meet us at Avon Park after school with their bikes, skateboards, scooters, etc... since not all of his friends skateboard.  It was a beautiful afternoon, and the boys had a wonderful time.

We celebrated at home with our family this week too!

Happy 10th Birthday, Griffin!

Today is Griffin's 10th birthday!  He keeps referring to it as his"double-digit birthday."  He has a had a great third-grade year.  This year he has learned how to skateboard (and it is all he can think about).  He also enjoys playing baseball, being outside and spending time with his friends.  We love him so much, and we can't imagine this decade without him!
