Jenna named Defensive MVP

Today was Jenna and Carissa's softball team's first game. Carissa is on a girl scout camping trip and had to miss the game. I am sure she is having a great time and can't wait to hear about her trip tomorrow afternoon. Jenna made all the team outs, however the Cardinals still lost.

Jenna and Gizmo the Bunny

Jenna loves her new little bunny, Gizmo! If Jenna could carry this bunny everywhere she went, I think she would. Yesterday afternoon I found her fast asleep cuddled up with him. He is adorable and weighs about 1 pound. He loves to hop around the house and play with Spikey the Hedgehog.

Cinderella Story...Almost

Last night were the final 2 games of the playoffs. The first game would decide who was in 3rd place and the winner would move to the championship game. Jenna's team played really hard in their first game against the Cubs. They defeated them 9 to 3!! The girls were so excited that they were jumping all around and hugging each other. It was so fun to watch their excitement. The Championship game was against the Bobcats. In the regular season, the Bobcats beat us 15 to 2. The Falcons have grown so much as a team that we really weren't sure what was going to happen on the field. The first inning was tied 2 to 2. The second inning was 3 to 3. The third inning began and The Falcons held the Bobcats to 1 run! It was our last time to bat. The tension and nerves of both teams were so intense. Jenna was the first batter up and was walked. She stole 2nd and 3rd! The next batter struck out and the following batter was tagged out on 1st. Our next girl got up and struck out! The girls tried so hard and lost. They were all disappointed and crying. We kept encouraging them and telling them how far they have come and, even though they lost, they were still 2nd Place in their division. After the game, the commissioner handed out trophies to both teams. Way to go, Falcons!! We are so proud of each and every one of you!!!

Jenna's Team Advances to Semi-Finals

Jenna's team won against the Cubs, 7 to 4, and have advanced to the semi-finals! The girls will play Monday night at 6:30 and if they win, will play in the Championship game at 8pm! I am really proud of these girls!! They have worked so hard at each and every practice and give it all they have. Way to go, Falcons!!!

This is Jenna and her coach, Stephanie. Jenna's team celebrating their win!

Jenna Named Game MVP

Last night Jenna's team had their first game of a 2 week long tournament. Jenna hit one single and one double. She stole 3rd base after her double! Jenna played centerfield and chased down the ball, threw it to short stop which resulted in an out! Her team lost, but Jenna had an awesome game. At the end of the game, Coach Stephanie asked the team who should get the MVP award, all her teammates said Jenna! Way to go, Jenna!!
