The end of a great baseball season!

This is our first year playing baseball. We played 2 years of T-ball prior. There was a big difference and for a while Nick felt "out of his league", but soon caught on adn had a wonderful time. I was amazed how his skills developed through the season.


Warming up in the batters box.

Daddy coaching third. Ray was the head coach w/ t-ball but is assisting with baseball so he can resume head coaching with Adam next year when he is old enough to play.

Ready to swing!


Entertaining Adam during games is sometimes a challenge. I wish our area had a league for 4 yr old. Adam spends time playing trucks and here he is doing a sticker book with my dad, Pap.

My computer was out for a while with a bad virus. we are all cleaned up and running great, so now it it time to catch up on some posts!

T-Ball Pictures

The line up!

Coach Ray, my very patient husband, is giving the team a "Pep Talk".

Excited Smiles

First at bat and he had a GREAT hit!!

Well, you gotta talk to your friends on first, even if they play for the other team :)

Adam was not very happy because he didn't get to wear a "blue shirt with a number on it and play with Nick and Daddy". Mr. Attitude.

Needless to say, I found one at a craft store and made him his own for being a honorary bat boy.

Pre-Game picture for Mommy.

More pictures to follow as the season moves on!!

Official T-Ball Pictures

We just received our official team pictures. We were not able to purchase a disk to load on the computer with the pics on it so I used my camera and took a picture of a picture - but I think you can get an idea of how cute the pictures turned out.

Nick's first official baseball card. The flip side of this card has his height, age, weight, etc.

Since Ray is the coach, they took this wonderful picture of father and son.

Our Little All Star!

Doesn't he look cute? A pic of Nick right before last nights game.

Nick's First T-Ball Game

Our league T-ball rules allow the coaches to pitch to their team. If the child can not connect to the ball after 3 tries, then they use the Tee. In this picture, Ray is pitching to Nick. (It's quite a coinsidence that Nick happens to be the number one and he is the coaches son - don't ya think?)

A Mommy Funny -

Nick is up to bat for the first time.

He hits the ball on the first pitch

He doesn't run

I'm yelling Nick run

He starts to run

Everyone is quiet (except for me yelling for Nick to run!)

Ray is yelling "get back Nick - it was a foul ball."

Oops, I guess I got a little excited.

It's a HIT!!!

Getting antsy while on third.

Luckily there was a small park near the baseball diamond. Adam desperately wanted to play with Daddy & Nick so my parents and I took turns playing at the park to occupy Adam and to try and watch Nick play some too.

One Proud, Excited Daddy!!

Ray got a phone call last night to be the head coach of Nick's T-ball team. He was SOOO excited. The baby stage is fun, but hard and exhaustive so now that the kids, especially Nick, is older we are able to do some really fun, more structured activities and Ray is so excited about coaching his sons team. He is a very proud father!!

Last week we have two unusually warm days. We went out side as soon as we got home and played until dark. The boys were so happy to be out and I must admit it felt pretty good to me too! The temperatures didn't stay warm for long. We been averaging about 25 degrees for the last several days. We all have cabin fever and we can hardly wait for spring to arrive. Below are some pictures of the kids enjoying the 55 degree day.

Nick played until dark in our garden area. Now he has it all loose, turned and ready for spring planting :)

Adam was determined he "could do it me-self."

I stood close by because I didn't want a very independant little boy falling down the rockwall.

Nick using his imagination - a train, aka "bulldozer."

The slide is much easier this year than last year for Adam since he has grown so much!
