Baseball!

I will just admit now that I LOVE watching my kids play ball! So far, they love it too. They play football and baseball mostly. We are currently in baseball season, and I'm loving it. I have always loved it. I even loved traveling around watching my little brother, who is now playing professional golf, play ball (basketball, baseball, even some golf on occasion). I eat this stuff up!


It is so fun to see them develop. Tyler has been practicing and really improving. He's playing first base mostly, and getting some good hits. He's playing coach pitch, which makes it easier to hit the ball. Kid pitch will be a whole new world. He's doing great, and he has a good team, which makes it more fun. (Let's be honest here. It's just more fun when you win some games.) Of course these boys are 7 and 8 years old, and their minds can still wander while they're on the field. But they're doing well (3 wins, 0 losses, 1 tie), and having a good time.


Tucker had his first t-ball game on Monday. His second one is tonight. THIS is a hoot! There are a lot of 4 year olds and some 5 year olds on his team. He and maybe one other boy have a clue what is going on. It's funny when he's on base and he will get to second base, where there is no coach to tell the kid to run (with a slight shove to get him going), and Tucker is standing there telling the kid to run so he can get on the bag. 


There are kids running all over the place! One runner from the other team knocked Tucker over in front of the pitcher's mound trying to get the ball. Yes, he was that out of place. MANY of them were lost, and it was quite frankly hilarious! I hope they begin to learn soon, but it's so entertaining too. Tyler even admitted that it was more entertaining than his games, even though they were better. :-)


Here are a few photos of the boys looking absolutely adorable in their uniforms (says their mama)! I'm going to have to get some more in the next few weeks.
