Morin Mowing is up and running this year again! Luke chose to have 4 weekly accounts this year. Proud of you, baby!
That Saturday we headed over to Grosse Point for the Raptors tournament while Luke celebrated his birthday with Uncle Tom and Aunt Cathy!! They started their day together at our favorite The Rochester Brunch House! I'll be headed home later to take Luke and his buddies to Top Golf for his party!
On the east side, our team is gearing up for a wet 8 am game!
Our 2024 Raptors!
There is always, always a lot of eating at our games. Tents with griddles underneath to serve full breakfasts (omelets made to order!) and lunches and everything in between. We had to be asked to tone it down a bit because our families were taking over but I'm so here for it!!
Game time, boys!!
Ellie had a soccer tournament in Novi over the weekend as well! She spent the weekend with Serafina's family to hang and take her to all the games. We are grateful for our village!!
Elle's team out to Buffalo Wild Wings!
Starting with Ellie and moving clockwise: Ellie, Berta, Rosie, Mina, Summer, Taryn, Serafina, Elaina, Nora, Dana and Elsie
After the baseball games, Ben and Drew headed over to Novi to cheer on Ellie in her soccer game and I headed back home to drive these kiddos to Top Golf! Happy birthday, Luuuukkkkeeee!!! This is what driving around 4 middle school boys looks like. I've accepted it. 💙
This was the BEST night!! I had so much fun being with Luke and his buds Ayrton, Aiden and Chase!! They are SO, SO funny!!! I was literally laughing the entire time! If I were in middle school with them, I'd be head over heals smitten. They are hilarious!!
From these pics, I'm sure it looks like I'm a crazy mom who never left their sides but I promise I let them be!
These 2. Best buds since Luke was 8 months old!! Now wrapping up their middle school years together. We love them so much!
Making them leave at 11 pm. Luke had the best day and night!! We love you, kiddo!!!
Sunday is Mother's Day! Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there! A special Mother's Day shoutout to my Mom and Ben's mom! We love you so, so much.
Back at the fields and we spent the day playing until about 7 pm making it to the semis! I wouldn't want to spend my day any other way then watching my kids do what they love! Happy Mother's Day to me!
Drew with his Dad/coach. Love them so much!
All in a weekend's time...Luke's birthday and party, Elle's soccer tournament in Novi, Drew's baseball tournament in Grosse Point, and Mother's Day. Weekends are made for this.
