Summer Basketball & Wes' Birthday

Josh and Sean had their first summer basketball game tonight. I took some pictures but they didn't turn out. They play on the same team so it makes it extra fun to watch. They won their game by eight points. They had a pretty good crowd between family and church family singles and fellow 316 friends.
We all sang Happy BIrthday to Wes as he turned 23 today. Can you tell he's a little embarrased? Just a little pink in the checks. We came home after the game and grilled porkchops had cheesy potatoes toss salad and brocholli for his birthday dinner. Preston joined us as well. Ray and Rob were over but didn't eat with us.

5th Annual Father Son Whiffleball Tournament

The church had their annual whiffleball tournament last weekend. Unfortunately Lyle was unable to make it due to the fact he had to work. However, Wes, Danny, Josh, and Sean were on a team and won all their preliminary games. The first game was played against the Smiths, Clay and Beau I wont' say to much other than the Dowlings won - BAM!! So they boys ended up going to the "World Series" with the Gable family. The Gables were ahead in the bottom of the last inning... .the Dowlings were down by 3 runs, with 2 outs. Sean starts the 2 run ralley with a home run, Wes follows with another, and Josh ties up the game with a 3rd homerun. Danny is up to bat, (No pressure though HAHA) and slams the 4th home run to win the final game which made them Chamions of the whiffle ball tournament in their age bracket. It was a SWEET game to watch with such a come back. Sorry Gables....maybe next year will be your year...
