Summer is almost gone.

Wow, the summer is almost gone.

The kids are bored and secretly they are looking forward to school starting, so am I.

Connor's baseball team, The Sandlot Bombers played one tournament in July at West Jordan and they have now hit their slow time until the end of August where they will start up the fall season. They lost a few players to football, but it's great that most are playing in the fall. I believe their first tournament will be Labor Day weekend.

Hannah's Hot Shotz did great in July. They won two more championships.

They won the Firecracker Tournament on the 4th of July weekend in Taylorsville.

And then they took home the West Valley City Classic Tournament trophy.

The West Valley City Tournament was the last 8 & under games. Now they are playing with the 10-year-olds and there are a lot of new rules and strategies to learn. The hardest thing for them to learn right now is the pitching. 8 & under games are coach pitch, and now the girls are doing the pitching.

Last Saturday, the 15th of August, we played in Tooele and they took third place playing the 10 year-olds. Hannah did get a hit on her first up to bat, she hit the ball right to first base and got out, but did get a RBI.

If anyone is interested, the Utah Hot Shotz are looking for sponsors and the advertising opportunities are great.
