In a Nutshell: Baseball Season

Baseball season has started. Oldest is playing after a long hiatus from the sport. Middle is playing for the first time. Oldest is playing machine pitch and Middle is rocking the tee.

The league is pretty low-key. As you can see my boys don't even have baseball pants or hats...although I probably should invest in a baseball cap for those sunny days.

Baseball is always a fun thing to do in the Summer. Hopefully they will continue to learn a thing or two about the sport.

And maybe Oldest will start to open his eyes while batting. His method does work part of the time though.

We are also hoping that the weather will attempt to feel like Summer and that blankets will not always have to be worn in the dug out.

However, no matter what I am pretty sure both boys will have a good time.

Hitting.

Running.

And running some more.

All of course while this one looks on and waits for his day at bat.

Mad T Ball Skills

Cole officially started another year of tball. The game has been stepped up. Who knew that from 4 1/2 to 5 they would have to bring up their game skills so much. We have gone from last year...organized chaos, the whole team following the ball, every batter every base, and kids sitting in the dirt and twirling TO...every player in their position, hands on knees in ready position, organized plays (some of these little teams are really good) and tagging and making outs. Yep we are already halfway to the big leagues here!


Cole has had a couple of games, but we finally remembered to bring the camera last time. Spencer was a little "sports photog wanna be" and took like 150 pics. I am posting some of our favorites.


Cole is trying really hard to run faster, pay attention, and hit the ball really hard. He has a lot of fun and is working hard.

Happy Cole, before he noticed pic being taken

Grumpy Cole, after notice pic being taken

Eye on the ball...concentrate

SWING!

Run Cole, Run!
