Ryder was sweetly asked by our season coach to play on the All Star team for our league. He was so excited! I will say, the practice and game schedule was more intense but he LOVED it and Kit was the assistant coach again, so it made it even MORE fun for him!
Here were a few snap shots of Ryder's all star time:
I never want to forget how sweet and little he would look before he would line drive it...
We celebrated our first All Star game at Taco Mesa:
We had the privilege to play our close friends from the other Tustin league!
We love our Elkins...
Snap shots from our last game:
Our coach:
We can not say enough about this man. How he encourages and instructs and develops fundamentals, combined with his calm demeanor and lightheartedness which wins over each kiddo... He has coached Ryder for the last two seasons and with Kit being one of his assistants this year, he has become one of our dear friends. He and Kit bike together and his son Jay has become one of Ryder's best little buddies too! We love you Coach!
For our last game, we had some very special guests come to support us! Thanks Thrashes!
After our last game, we headed to pizza,
(which was more about the arcade and quarters for bouncy balls...)
This team came together so well and I was so proud to watch them represent our Tustin East Little League!
(Also, their families are AMAZING!)
Ryder ended his Little League season 24-0 and had a blast the entire time. He is already excited for next year...❤︎

On a different topic, I can't believe we are down to two weeks of school... These last couple of months have FLOWN! I have given up on time slowing down, we are just resolved to buckle up and enjoy the ride the best we can...❤︎
