Of course, I have to recognize the very best spectators of the baseball season! Spencer and Samantha were troopers going to all of Maxwell’s games and, often, practices too. Maxwell was a good helper at all of Spencer’s games.

They were there in good weather…

and bad!

Thankfully they had some friends to play with at many of the games.

Spencer loved to go “climb the mountain” at Maxwell’s games and did that just about every week. He rarely actually watched Maxwell’s game! Samantha wanted to climb the  mountain as well but after I had to go get her off the mountain once, I told her you had to be 5 years old to climb the mountain from now on! ha! After that she tended to hang with me in the stands and play with any toys that she brought.

Of course, I think they mostly liked going to Maxwell’s games because they knew they’d get an Icee! Whatever it takes!

As crazy as it was, I’m going to miss these days at the ball park this summer!

Pretty sure they’re just going to miss the Icees!  🙂

What did we do this weekend? I’ll give you one guess! Yep, BASEBALL!

Maxwell had a game Friday night at 7pm (!). It was a late one but it was a FUN one! The Pirates played SO great and pulled out a much needed win! Our coach has been great to watch players develop and give them opportunities on the field as they improve. Maxwell got the chance to play first base on Friday night and he nailed it! He had some great catches and rose to the opportunity! We were so proud of him! He even got the game ball! woohoo! Then, maybe with a little encouragement from Robert, he gave the game ball to Drew who had two great hits and scored for the first time. sweet boy!

Frankly, I should have gotten the game ball. They had no one to do the scoreboard and no one was volunteering so I stepped up and did it – with Spencer and a very cranky Samantha in tow! It was an adventure but I did a pretty good job, if I do say so myself! I did have to get Robert off the field to take Samantha to the bathroom at one point, but, we made it! GOOO Pirates!

Maxwell had another game Saturday at 11:30 and unfortunately, the Pirates just didn’t have it in them. They played a good game but lost. Oh well! I had to miss that game because Spencer had a T-ball game at the same time. I was happy to be watching my little Red Sox player slam the ball and hustle!

Samantha thankfully had a friend in the stands and was happy as could be making important calls from the ballpark!

It was a beautiful spring day and after we met up from both games, we decided a little treat was in order!

Happy to celebrate my great ball players and their super spectator sister!  🙂

Another weekend, another round of ball games! The best part was having GJ in town for them! She’s the best baseball cheerleader around! Maxwell played in the mid-season tournament on Friday night. While his team lost, Maxwell played so well and I was incredibly proud of him! He went 3 for 3 on batting, scored 2 runs, and even caught a pop fly!! woohoo! The Pirates may not be at the top of the league but they are all learning so much about baseball and sportsmanship and are having the most fun!

Saturday morning Spencer had a t-ball game and did great too! He had good hits and ran the bases like a pro!

Go Red Sox!

We even played some baseball at home! It was a beautiful weekend until the storms came Saturday afternoon.

We sure do love having GJ and Daddo in town and can’t wait until they come back to see us again!
