Hamilton Happenings......: July 2023

Naomi wanted to help me make the traditional flag cake this year!

The final Eaton family 4th of July BBQ!

Aunt Joann & Uncle David have been putting it on for decades!

So thankful for this family time!

Swimming with Cousin Teddy!

Hanging with Cousin Marlana!

Water ballon toss!

Champions! I had to give up my ace partner to be partners with Kelly! I mean we got second, so not bad!:)

Cousins!

3 of the 5 Eaton brothers!

30 weeks!

2nd BBQ of the day! With our baseball family!

Are you Smarter Than a Theater Kid? Camp for Journey theater. Showcase performance!

Kyrie was the host for his team!

One of my favorite songs!

Proud sissy!

All the moms surprised the boys with these jerseys for the state all star tourney!

We made it to our wonderful hosts' house, the Inversos, for our week at the all star tourney! Checking off a summer bucket list item-visit to the Inversos!

We have arrived in Poulsbo! This is the same place that my Columbia Little league team won the state tourney when I was 15!!

Since I'm pregnant, Nay and I took advantage of the golf cart ride from the parking lot!

Washington State Majors State tourney opening ceremonies!

Headed to the waterfront to hang while waiting for our late afternoon game!

Nay wanted a little photo shoot!

Game #1 vs South Whidbey LL All stars

Won 9-3

Hanging at the Inversos!

Game time pep talk!

We got to enjoy a pancake breakfast made by Chris with the EMALs and families! So yummy!

Siri & Gannon the pancake batter professionals!

Game #2 vs Mill Creek!

We like to sit in center field behind Kyrie and in our own spot! ;)

Lost 1-3.

Mill Creek was lucky enough to have a bye the first day, and I'm still bitter about it!:)

They scored their 3 runs on walks and a past ball. Should have been a win!

Now we go to the losers bracket and have to win 7 more games in a row to win the title.

Dinner on the front lawn with the Inversos!

Macy and Kyrie have taken this chair picture since they were 8 weeks old! They are a 12 now and a week apart!

Every day before each game, we take Kyrie to warm up for about 1.5 hours. Maco found a perfect spot and it was our daily tradition! Maco came with us and helped one day, too!

Team outing to the most amazing Poulsbo bakery!

Of course we had to try the bakery, too!

Fun at the waterfront!

Introductions!

Game #3 vs Liberty Lake

Won 14-4

Coach buys Dr Peppers for the team after the win!

Loved our morning walks on the waterfront!

Naomi's favorite things at the Inversos, the girls, the dogs, and getting her hair braided!

Tharen joins us for Game #4 vs Salmon Creek! Our crosstown rivals!!

The game was the most intense game! I almost went into labor early!

The team was down 4-6 in the bottom of the 6th and came back to tie it with a controversial out at home to either end our season or take it to extra innings! After a 30 minute appeal and call to San Bernadino, our player was called safe and the game continued! After 8 innings we moved to international rules where each team starts with a runner on 2nd!

In the bottom of the 10th inning, we scored to tie the game!

And the walkoff hit to win the game! Won 8-7! It was amazing and please excuse my screaming!:)

Excited parents and coaches!

Excited siblings! Go, CAMAS!

Thomas got the big hit of the night!

Apparently the jorts come out after the big win!

Coach Nick was so happy!

So proud of Kyrie and the team!

Loved this silly pic!

Team celebration after the big win!

Game #5 vs SHLL(5 games in 5 days!)

Won 7-4!

Made it to the final 4!!

Our last day to the family warmups, but we didn't know it at the time!

Game #6 vs Mill Creek again!

The Rainer's mascot came to hang out!

Lost 5-8! had used all our pitchers!

The boys gave it their all and it was another winnable game, but just didn't have the energy to do it! Naomi was sooooo sad! We were one game away from making it to the championship game! Honestly it would have been very difficult to beat the state champs-NE Seattle 2 times, but still would have been amazing making it that far! Finishing 4th is still amazing though!

We were all so proud of Kyrie! Mia wasn't with us this week because she was having an amazing time at YL camp!

Fun video one of the dads made early on in the week!

Kyrie had a diving catch caught on Gamechanger vs Liberty Lake. Kinda hard to see!

KYrie had a jumping catch at the fence line vs Mill Creek! Again hard to see, but posting for memories!

Kyrie with a single to left field vs Mill Creek!

Mia leaving for YL camp in central Oregon!

Papa & Yaya invited the kids down to AZ for a few days! Kinley & Mia took them up on it and of course Auntie wanted to go!

The 2.5 hour float that turned into over 5 hours!!

There are no words!

Shopping of course!

Traditional making cookies with Yaya!

Pool at drinks everyday! Not much else you can do in 115 degree heat!

And they all drove back to Vancouver with Papa in 2 days! about 10-11 hours each day! Wow!

Cusack family vacay on the Columbia River! Loved renting our cousin Daphne's place in Cathlamet! This was the first time everyone got to meet Lucy, except for me! They were so excited!

Miles & Nay reunited! 8 months apart and both in Kinder this fall!
