This birthday was pretty busy for Connor. He watched his brother pitch for the high school team and then he had a baseball practice. After he got home, he finally got to open his presents and eat a giant birthday cookie. Happy Birthday Dokie!

After spending the day in school, Gavin got to spend the rest of his day doing the thing he loves, which is pitching.

He threw 4 and 2/3rds innings while giving up no runs, no walks, and a single hit, against one of the best teams in the league. They have a strict pitch count limit, or else he would have dominated the rest of the game. The relief pitching got their job done, and the Nighthawks won the game.

We celebrated with his favorite meal, which is pizza, and then some brownies for dessert. It was quite a memorable birthday.

I can hardly believe that my little Dokie is now a teenager! He was busy all day with school and baseball practice, but in the evening he had fun opening his presents and eating a giant cookie for dessert.
