Happy Birthday, Grandpa! You would have been 88 yesterday.
Maddie, Will, & Hunter are all growing like crazy! Between dance, baseball, softball, soccer, and now flag football, we are constantly on the go.
We had another great year in American Legion baseball. The El Dorado Oilers finished 4th (losing to Bryant and eventual state champion, Fort Smith) in the AAA Arkansas American Legion State Tournament. We were 28-10-1 this summer. The Oilers finished 3rd in the state tournament last year with a 27–10-1 record, losing to eventual state champion Cabot. We beat Cabot 16-3 in the state tournament, as they were 33-3 going into the state tournament.
The El Dorado Drillers (17-12) went 2-1 in Pool Play of the JR State Tournament, finishing 2nd in the pool to the Little Rock Tigers. Lake Hamilton Wolves won the JR State Tournament this year.
Will made the 10U All-Star team, playing for me, as our team finished 2nd in league. He was voted in the Top 5 for 9U All Stars. Maddie made the 10U All-Star team, as they won the FASA 10U State and FASA 10U Regional titles. Hunter started her first year of Coach Pitch at age 4.
Our kids started attending West Side this past year, and they love it! They have improved so much with their learning acceleration. Maddie made all A’s and Will had all A’s and one B in Spelling. Hunter will start Kindergarten this fall.
We miss you everyday. I know you are here with us and that we make you proud.
