May

Beautiful May weather means all the fun activities! Mom and dad celebrated their 19th anniversary, we attended the SLL annual auction (dad won our own team basket), we went to many Braves games (kids picked ones with giveaways), there were the annual Derby parties, Carter turned 14, dad played golf and mom enjoyed the gym.

 

Avery (9 years, 9 months) - Avery wrapped up her last soccer season with FC Reign. The league is changing how they set teams so Avery's team has to disband. She will miss this fun group but thankfully she will see many of them at school next year! Avery had a ton of fun at field day especially because her class won! Otherwise she watched a lot of baseball and has been taking full advantage of the neighborhood pool opening up.

Parker (12 years, 6 months) - Parker played his final game through Little League which marks the end of so many games for the Holden's with the group. It has been an awesome experience which we are so grateful for. Thankfully Parker's travel season picked right up so there is still lots of baseball in our future. 

Parker had his final band concert as he is picking a different elective for next year. He has been enjoying warm weather and spending time at Smyrna Market Village with friends. He is definitely looking forward to a summer of baseball and fun with friends.

Last day of school fun!

Carter (14 years) - Carter wrapped up his rec baseball season but was picked for the 14u All Star team so there is more baseball in his future! He also spent some fun time with friends celebrating birthdays, the end of school and the 8th grade dance.

Ready for the 8th Grade Dance

Siblings - The kids spent lots of time together at various sporting events. The boys wrapped up their last school year in the same building for a while. And all the kids kindly celebrated mom for Mother's Day.

Boys both ended up in the pink pride this year
