For the past 2 months we have lived at the ball park. By lived, I mean we would eat, sleep, and play baseball!! If we weren't at games we were taking the kids to practice. Tale-gating was one of our favorites. Nothing like a good ol' hot dog while watching your kids play ball. (or pizza, subs, and junk food)
My girls are such posers.
Kennedy moved up to the Majors this year, and was really nervous about it. After about 3 practices we were about to pull her out. We decided to make her play because she had made the commitment to her team when she signed up, and boy are we glad she stuck it out this year. She did AWESOME!!!!!! Her team called her Pee Wee Power. Don't let her size fool you. One game the other teams coach told his team to move up, and she sure showed them by hitting a fly ball into right field, and got a double!!
Kennedy made the 10 year old All Stars Team. This is a great accomplishment!!!! Only 10 girls were chosen to plan on this team. All the coaches get together to vote and chose the players. We couldn't be more proud!!!! When they announced the teams, I think I was more nervous than she was.
She can't wait to play other teams in the state starting the first week of July.
This was Kadens last year in the Minors. He had a really good time, and not only did he improve a lot but his team grew leaps and bounds!!!! He was the biggest and oldest on his team. I believe that his team had the smallest kids on it in the league. They only won about 6 games out of the 20 they played but by the end of the season every boy on his team hit every time they came up to bat.
Kaden hit 3 home runs this year, and a few triples, and several doubles.
Jocelyn did her second year of t-ball this year. I love the fact that all the kids look like little bobble head with the big helmets on. Poor Jocelyn has to hold on to it every time she runs to keep it on her head. I love to watch the kids fight over the ball when it's hit, and I love to watch the kids run to 3rd base instead of 1st. I think that t-ball is one of my favorites to watch.
We started off with the craft. I sewed some "sleep masks" with some felt, quilt batting, and ribbon. The girls then decorated them with puffy paint, buttons, and jewels. I also made them each a name tag, and place mat. The place mat was so they wouldn't get nail polish or crafty stuff on my table.
Here they all are getting their craft on.
I think they all had a good time, and put on way too much make up. They are already talking about what they want to do next year.
