Batter up!

April 13, 2018

Happy Friday….the 13th! eek!

Lots of baseball last week in the unexpected FREEZING temps! Didn’t stop my ball players though! Spencer had fun at T-ball Saturday morning despite the cold…

and had some great hits!

That afternoon we headed out to the other ball field for Maxwell’s games. He had some good hits (yay!) and finally got to score his first run!!! Woohoo!

We were back at the ball field on Sunday for another game. We were playing the only team that is undefeated in the league and, it wasn’t looking so great the first half of the game! Maxwell had a good hit and then on his 2nd (or 3rd I can’t remember) time up to bat, that kid HIT A HOME RUN!!! He just put it all together, knocked that ball between first and second, batted in two other runs and make it all the way around the plates himself!! It was AWESOME! He was excited, I was excited, Robert was excited…just the best. The team made quite a comeback and was so close to beating that #1 team. They didn’t quite pull it off but I’m not sure they even cared because they all played their hearts out.

After the game, Maxwell even got the game ball…

I think the only person more proud of Maxwell than me was Maxwell himself! Β πŸ™‚

He’s worked so hard and to see it all pay off was wonderful! There were actually 3 of them that hit home runs that game – Maxwell, Wyatt and Trent!

Goooo Pirates!

We’re playing the mid-season tournament starting tonight and are hoping for some more great hits! Let’s play ball!

Have a great weekend!

Baseball

March 22, 2018

Maxwell is playing baseball this year and, man, once you get to first grade ball they aren’t messing around! It’s not uncommon to have either a practice or game 4 nights a week and sometimes as late as 7pm! Luckily, Maxwell seems to be enjoying it and loves to play! Up to bat at one of his first practices…

He’s on the Pirates this year and they look pretty sharp in their yellow and black…they also look a bit like bumblebees but don’t tell him that! πŸ˜‰

Maxwell is right in the middle on his team – not the best (those boys played All Stars and fall ball!) and definitely not the worst. He’s been a little frustrated with his batting and has struck out a few times. But, he’s gotten better each game and I know he’s going to keep improving if he works at it. He has all the steps – just needs to put them together in that swing!

It’s big time now and they keep score and are playing for the championship! The Pirates are doing good so far – we’ll see how the season ends up!

I also have to hand it to these baseball fans – they’ve been really good sports…and really enjoy the cherry icees from the concession stand!

If you’re looking for us the next few weeks, we’ll probably be at the ball field!

Tball

March 21, 2018

Spencer is playing Tball this year and it’s going great! Well, he’s had 2 practices and one game but, so far, so good! He’s loving it and that’s what counts! He was looking like a real ball player at this first practice…

Doesn’t get cuter than that!

His first game was this last Saturday and the weather wasn’t really cooperating. Thankfully we got to play but it was a drizzly, yucky day. Didn’t bother the ball players though!

Our whole crew made it out and Samantha had a LOT of fun jumping in all the puddles and getting very dirty!

Hoop star

February 23, 2018

This was the first year that Maxwell would play basketball through Mountain Brook and it was great – SO much better than then Y experience from last year! Games were quick and easy and he had a blast!

Maxwell didn’t know anyone on his team but that didn’t phase him.

These spectators were pretty good sports through all the practices and games too!

It was a great season all around. I don’t know what their actual team name was – I think it changed every week! ha! We’ll just say “Gooooo Team!”
