We just got back from our cruise to Key West and Cozumel, Mexico.
In Cozumel, the boys and I did a new thing called Snuba. It is a cross between Snorkeling and Scuba Diving. Check out the photos below of our adventure. To learn more about this new type of water adventure, go to the following link for SNUBA.

Well, Here is the new addition to the family. His name is "Rookie". He is a Golden Retriever. Boy can he eat! I told Marshall that he should call him "Lucky". (That is what Marshall was when he hit the ball over the fence. Ha Ha.) He is a great dog and has a wonderful temperament. I would recommend one for any family with kids.

A promise is a promise!
A new addition to the family!
The boys and dad have wanted a big dog for a long time, but Mom didn't want a big dog. Well, Mom and Dad had made a promise to the kids before the season had started. If someone hit a Home Run over the fence, they could get a big dog. (We knew it was possible, but didn't think it would really happen!) Since
It's been awhile !
A ton has happened since my lost entry, so bear with me this will be lengthy:
Kelsey's team, Orlando No Fear - Red, came in fifth in Wellington and had a 3-1 record for the weekend. On Memorial Day weekend the team won the 14B Championship game! Way to go! Kelsey is practicing volleyball at the High School during the summer (she needs something to do).
Mackenzie's team, Orlando No Fear - Black, won the Championship game in Wellington. They got the opportunity to play Caloosa Park Lightning and West Pines Diamond Dusters (Teal) to get to the Championship game. A tough tournament. On Memorial Day weekend the Black team won another Championship against the Tampa Mustangs - Frank. What a great game.
On May 21st, Mackenzie had the opportunity of a lifetime. She tried out for the Olympic Softball team! Dot Richardson, 2 time Olympic Gold Medalist, spent time with Mackenzie to prepare her for the tryouts. Mackenzie did extremely well. She fielded every ball and was hit very well. Several people came up to Stephanie and asked "How old is your daughter?" They couldn't believe she was only 13. One coach asked if she was interested in playing on an 18U team. Scores will be sent out sometime in July and in August invitations to the next level of tryouts will be sent. We are so very proud of her!
Harrison's WS Babe Ruth team finished third in the End of Year tournament. They did very well and Harrison has become one of the best catchers in the league. Go Harrison!

Marshall's AAU team Best 9 played the AAU State Championship on May 19th through the 21st. Friday night, the team lost their first game, and the next two games were going to be even harder! If the team didn't do well, they can't advance to the final rounds on Sunday. Well Saturday the team came out to play and won both games. This put them in the final 8. The team then went on to win two more time to put them into the Championship game! We were proud to say the least. The team had to play 3 straight games on Sunday, and just didn't have enough to pull off the win, but 2nd place in States is awfully good!
Marshall also played ball with Winter Springs Babe Ruth. In the Top Team tournament, his team came in 1st place overall! They only lost two games all year long. In the Championship game, Marshall was the second batter in the lineup. With the first pitch, Marshall hit one over the fence for a Home Run and to start the game off in the lead. AWESOME! The team went on to win the whole thing.

Sunday's Results
Kelsey's team, Orlando No Fear - Red, lost to Jacksonville Storm. They played hard, but just couldn't get things to go their way. Keep playing hard Red team!
Mackenzie's team, Orlando No Fear - Black, won their third straight championship. The first game was against Jacksonville Limit. Haines City pitched the first two innings and then Mackenzie came in to finish the game out with a 11-1 victory. The second game was tough. They played Team Florida and the game was 0-0 after seven innings! The game went into a tie breaker, and No Fear scored three runs in the top of the 8th. A key double play by Beck helped seal-the-deal and pull another victory for No Fear - Black. The team then advanced to the Championship game againt NFGS Thunder. The game went 0-0 until the sixth inning. No Fear was home team and held the Thunder from scoring in the seventh. No Fear was at the top of their batting order and Maddie was able to get on. Elysse sacrificed a bunt to advance Maddie to second. Chrystal was able to get a single and move Maddie to third. Chrystal stole second. One out, runners at third and second, and Courtney was able to get in the winning run with a base hit.
Harrison had a great day being with Mom at all of the girl's games and played at the park. He enjoyed time with Kyle and Brandon . They got to swing on vines, play by a creek, and run through the natuture trail. He listened very well and checked in periodically so Mom wouldn't have to worry.
Dad has to go back to work so that he can get some rest!

West Volusia was up 2 runs and in the 5th inning, Marshall was able to start a rally be getting a single with one out. The team was then able to get more batters on base and ended up scoring two runs with two outs to tie up the game. Unfortunately, the team could not score any more runs and lost 3-2 due to a passed ball at the plate in the last inning.
