We had so much FUN! This last week, we took a road trip with Evan's baseball team. We traveled through Oregon, Washington, Idaho to Montana. We went to Silverwood Water Park in Coeur d'Alene, we ate at some amazing restaurants along the way. We saw some beautiful countryside. Once we were in Montana, one day we all went to Hauser Lake for a boating team/parent bonding. The weather was great and the baseball was amazing! Evan's team WON the tournament, 5 games later they went undefeated... As we head into Evan's senior year of High School, realizing trips like these will be coming to an end. We are taking every moment to enjoy and cherish this … [Read more...]

Happy Father’s Day
We had such a FUN Father's Day- We drove up to Tacoma Washington to watch The Tacoma Rainiers baseball team. Jason bought a baseball experience package at our local Baseball Auction that included these tickets in a box suite. We took family & friends for our Father's Day adventure. Jason and I both were super excited our parents could join us for the day. Oh my goodness, you wouldn't believe the Rainiers WON! In the twelfth inning bases were loaded and two outs... Fresno States pitcher walked the batter ending the game 1-0. I hope everyone enjoyed their Father's Day and loved all of your favorite Daddy's as much as we did. … [Read more...]

Kyras Bake Shop
This last weekend, Evan had a Baseball tournament across town in Lake Oswego. I love this sweet small town. They have a great Saturday Market, as well as cute shops. But, I have to say my favorite store in this town is this adorable Bakery called Kyra's Bake Shop. Kyra's Bake Shop is a three-time winner for Food Network's Cupcakes Wars. Since Jason was out of town at a Golf Tournament I was Evan's ride to and from every game. :) He had to be at the field an hour early each game. This gave me a chance to tootle around town. I knew I needed to try this Bakery- (blogger friends recommended) The Red Velvet was screaming my name. It DID NOT … [Read more...]

Baseball Auction
This past week, I was crazy busy preparing for Clackamas High School's Baseball Auction. I helped with decorations and made 200 chocolate dipped Oreo cookie baseballs. They turn out adorable but were super time consuming. This sit down dinner is an annual event that our Baseball Club Hosts to raise money for field improvements. This year our goal is to raise enough money to build "lights" around our field. (fingers crossed) The last couple years it has been a SOLD OUT event! This year was no exception. We had a fun night and I thought the decorations turned out beautifully... I'm proud to be part of such a amazing group of people. … [Read more...]
State Baseball
Evan's baseball team ended up 4th in State! We are so proud of him... He had an amazing season and a wonderful team. He learned so much from his coaching staff.

The best is yet to come... … [Read more...]
