Zach had a GREAT season with his friends. The Green Tigers were completly UNDEFEATED! Zach even scored 5 goals during one game. Yeah Zach.
On Tuesday, we all gathered for pizza, fun, and of course, getting trophies. Here is Zach with the whole team after getting their trophies.
Cathrine, the coach's wife, with Zach. Her son is the other Zach, that is why they call our Zach: "Leopold". What a wonderful team we had and excellent coach.
I took Brett to the Aggie Baseball game Saturday. After the game the team held a clinic for all kids. What fun. They rotated to different skill stations run by the players. Brett had a great time.
The future Aggie All Star Baseball Player!
Brett and Brett! Having a great time learning to outfield skills.

Brett and Brodie Gren.
Brett with Landon. His friend. What fun times, nothing like being on Olsen field playing ball with a good friend.
Due to the Swine Flu, Brett's fourth grade field trip to Austin was cancelled. All schools were asked to stay within their districts. The school quickly had a "make-up" local field trip, but Brett did not want to go. It was to a local gymnastics place and the movies. So, I decided to have and "Brett only" field trip to the George Bush Library. We had lunch and enjoyed some Brett/Mom time learning about George Bush and the special exhibit of the Space program.
Brett in space!
Don't really know what this has to do with George Bush or space, but cool just the same.
Brett in action during a game. He loves to pitch. He as been practicing during his private lessons and is getting better all the time.
Brett really concentrating. He did really well. Brett talks about playing ball for aTm...... what a dream. I can't wait to see him in maroon and white on the pitcher's mound.
Brett got to give his teacher a Pie in the Face! At carnival the opportunity to "Pie a Teacher" in the face is auctioned off. Brett won! This was started last year and has been a huge success ever since. The teachers use to volunteer to be dunked in a booth, but we switched it to this. With carnival in March, the weather in College Station is not always warm, so the teachers were very willing to change. To choose the teachers (victims) the willing teachers are listed and the kids donate money to the teacher they want auctioned off. Then the winning teachers are auctioned at carnival during the live auction. Brett's teacher, Mrs. Norton was one of the winners in the money raising. Then at carnival, Brett made to highest bid. The following Monday, he got to put a pie in her face!
Remember, the pie is only wipped cream! I was suggesting a "facial" treatment in the pie!
Along with Brett's teacher, other teachers were auctioned as well. The principal and assistant principal also received a pie. The nurse and our new counselor also were auctioned off. They were wonderful sports. This is just one part of the carnival that helped raise money for the school. The carnival raised a total of over 57,000. Way to go Pebble Creek. I am very proud to help in this awsome fund raiser!
Brett receives the "Panther Squared" Award!
Every six weeks grades 2-4 have awards assmebly. They acknowlege the kids who have perfect attendance, meeting their reading (AR) goals, and give out a special recognition to those kids showing outstanding "panther pride", "citizenship", and good character. The kids don't know who is getting the special award, but a letter is sent home to ensure that parents come to see. Brett was really suppose to get it last six weeks, but that was when he decided to get the flu/and strep throat together. So his award was presented this six weeks. He had no idea! Not every kid will get this award. This is a special recognition given to him by his teachers. Way to go Brett!
Before the official season could start, College Station Little League had Opening Ceremonies. Each team, from T-ball to Major/Minors were announced. The players ran onto Olsen Field and then had the first pitch thrown out by the mayor.
The team moms get together. We are also so proud of our little men. We love to cheer them on and watch them play!
Here is Brett, proud and ready to start the season. This year his team is the Round Rock Express.
Brett and Carson. They are ready to "Play Ball".
