Sporting Events

While down South visiting our family we were able to see our nieces and nephews play Soccer, T-Ball, Baseball and Tennis. We hate the fact that we have missed so many games over the years so we were thrilled to be able to make up for lost time. We truly love being an Aunt and Uncle and love spending time with our nieces and nephews!!!
Below are a few shots I was able to get of Evan playing baseball. My Mom and Dad go to many of the games. They are so sad that the Beans are moving to Houston. Makes me sad to think about all that my parents will miss. However, on the other hand I am very excited for the Bean family to have a new fun city to explore! Mom and Dad will just have all sorts of places to go visit their children and grandchildren.


I was not able to get many pictures of Ansley playing Soccer, I think we were too busy with Annabel and trying to watch at the same time. Ansley certainly was happy to have Annabel there and happy to show her off to her teammates. Ansley is the goalie which I think is the coolest position!!


Here is Cooper playing T-Ball. He is so cute and has the best personality. He is all boy and loves his sports and working outside in yard with his Dad.

Ann Elizabeth attends Girls Preparatory School in Chattanooga and is on the tennis team. The team qualified for the State Championship so Annabel and I went down to TN to see her play. It was so much fun to see her play. She was awesome and their team WON the State Championship!!



The GPS tennis team captured their third tennis state championship trophy in as many years with a win over Hutchison of Memphis on Wednesday, May 21. Claire Bartlett, Sarah Evans, Ann Elizabeth Holley, and Meredith Morrow each claimed singles wins. Only Holley and Morrow went to three sets. After Bartlett won 6-0, 6-3 and Evans breezed 6-2, 6-1, it was up to Holley and Morrow to win the event in singles without having to move to doubles play. A junior, Holley lost the first set but roared back with 6-1, 6-3 sets, leaving it to Morrow to clinch the championship. In the third set, she was down 4-3 before she decided to take her time with each point and frustrate her opponent. Her strategy worked, and she won the third set 6-4.
The Spring Fling win under Coach Sue Bartlett capped off an undefeated season (15-0) for the Bruisers, including a Region championship.
