This week was all about the boys. Baseball playoffs were this week and it felt like we were either at a game or prepping for a game all week. Wednesday we had the first playoff game, which the boys won and Friday was the championship game. The championship game was a good one! Merrick's friend, Mitchell, was the starting pitcher and he did a great job. Kai and Jason had great games. Really everyone did. Then, Merrick came in as the closer and pitched 2 shut out innings. Over two innings he only pitched 19 pitches. He only had one hit and his first innings was a groundout and two strike outs. In his first inning he pitched 7 straight strikes. He was on fire! After the game, the boys lined on the bases for medals from the league. Uso was planning to bring pizza for the boys, but he was late so Tala decided to stall. He did so by buying out the entire snack shack, all the water, Gatorade, Rice Krispie Treats, and candy bars they had. He spent $300 before the pizza even arrived. Then Uso showed up with about 20 pizzas! The boys were in hog heaven. It was a night that won't soon be forgotten!
The partying didn't end there. Merrick and Mitchell spent the night at the Ioapo's to keep celebrating and we had Tala's niece, Leighla, over here for a sleep over. Then, last night, we had an end of the year party and BBQ.
As I said, this week was all about the boyS. Today is Father's Day and this blog post wouldn't be complete without mention of our favorite Dad! Jeremy put in SO many hours the last couple months coaching Merrick's baseball team and it is just going to get worse as we head into summer ball. We are so grateful for him and all the hours he puts in for our family. We are pretty lucky.
