Our firstborn is sure growing up! It's a bit overwhelming at times.
Cyrena just finished her first season of coach pitch baseball. Of course she loved every minute of it, even sliding into home plate just to get her pants dirty. Cyrena had great coaches and if they coach again they're going to let us know so she can be on their team again. She was the only girl with about 8 boys. They accepted her as 'one of the guys' and always made sure they said good-bye to her after each game. Too cute.
In line to bat
This coach was so darn cute with her. He was always cheering her on and calling her 'sweetheart'
Cyrena was one of the only kids that was always in the 'ready' position. The coaches used her as an example often.
Here she is in the outfield talking
We all spent the majority of the time in the shade of a tree or under an umbrella. We lucked out that we had a beautiful spring so it wasn't unbearable
Playing first base
Cyrena always got a hit and loved running the bases. She has a long way to go on catching and she definitely throws like a girl. She's so technical and doesn't allow herself to follow her instincts. She's so much like me! So even though the boys were more natural baseball players, I think she had the most heart.
Yesterday Cyrena had her preschool graduation. David was able to slip away from the office for the 20 minute program. She has loved the independence of going to preschool.
I will willingly admit that I teared up when she walked out with the cap on...I'm weak when it comes to things like that! Many times this girl and I butt heads so it's good for me to see her in a different light sometimes.
We're so proud of our little graduate
Cyrena's teacher, Miss Tawna. She was a great influence on Cyrena's confidence and made her feel safe enough to head off to Kindergarten! Miss Tawna let all the kids have a swim party which was so nice of her! The girls enjoyed every minute of the morning.

What a cutie. We had preschool graduation today too...but with 50 degree weather, we are far from being able to play in a pool!
Logan said Cyrena is "way behind me". I guess he's all cool now that he's already been to kindergarten.
LOVE Tawna! Cyrena looks so cute and grown-up :-)
Cyrena is such a cutie and so grown up!! How fun to be on a team of all boys, I bet she loved that! :)
I am still laughing at the thought of Cyrena throwing a ball. I remember her playing with Brady in the backyard, insisting he take that big step with his right foot as he throws. So ironic and hilarious!
Good for her playing on a team with all boys!
I used to have that same umbrella from Target. I left it at church in Pasadena one Sunday and never found it.
Congrats on C's graduation. I bet that was really great for her to go on her own and get that independence she craves.
