It’s baseball season. Wade is not in the minors for the first year. Now kids pitch the whole time. Wade’s coach (Ben Uhouse)from last year wanted him on his team again.
His team does not have many Allstars so there are many challenges.
One of the benefits for playing on a team like this is the playing time. Wade works really hard and doing so has earned him lots of pitching time. Time he might not have got on a more talented team.
He has struck out. 3 batters several innings. Great work kiddo.
There is one woman who is standing up and she will go down in history as the next Rosa Parks
Riley Gaines, a 12 time All-American swimmer with 5 SEC titles was a successful female swimmer at University of Kentucky with ambitions to pursue a dental degree. That post-graduate ambition and her entire life was changed when she was forced to share a locker room and then compete against biological male Lia Thomas at the 2022 NCAA Women’s Swimming Championship.
This uneven challenge, not just for Riley but for every woman competing in the pool that day, was made even more traumatic when the NCAA officials insisted on giving Lia Thomas the trophy, despite tying Riley down to the hundredth of a second in the event. Riley can recall wondering why no one was standing up for her or for any women in the room.
This moment became her call to action – to defend and protect America’s daughters against the woke left and their gender-denying ideology. Biological men should not take opportunities for success in sports away from women. Biological men should not share locker rooms with women.
She has the truth on her side and will be on the right side of history.
Thanks Riley for your bravery
The kids and mom went to the dam to jump in and play around. It was cold but you could function. Level was not to capacity but the dock only had 2 lengths not floating.
We decided to do a hike in the mountains and went just west of twin butte. Kansas is such a 5 yr old rockstar and climbed up the mountain with the rest of us. We came across a few snow banks but for the most part it was dry. Even some crocuses and these yellow flowers were out in full bloom.
We left our phones at home so we had no photos to share.
It was a fun family weekend to get away from everything.
This past week was track and field, and. Macie and Wade have been working hard practicing ball throw, long jump, triple jump and they have been participating in the school walk run club and running almost 3-4 km Tuesday-Thursday.
They both did so well in their events.
Macie took home a lot of ribbons and even beat the 800m school record for grade 5 girls in under 3 min.
Wade who is one of the youngest participants in his grade 4 class, by as much as a year, did so good in the long and triple jump and did very well in the running.
Great job kids now on to divisionals.
