Baseball fever!

I love this time of year- beautiful sunshine, wildflowers and baseball! AC is Hayden's coach this year. He wasn't planning on it, but then we got the "we don't have enough volunteers so there won't be enough teams" email, and he gave in. Luckily, Hayden's two best buds and their parents wanted to be on our team and are ACs assistants. They make a good team, Shari, Scott and AC. As coach's wife, I get to be snack bar coordinator, team mom and scorekeeper. Lucky me.
Billy is not on Hayden's team, but that boy loves baseball, so he gets to be on the baseball blog. Here he is running the bases after Hayden's game last week. Nana, Papa, Uncle Travis, Aunt Natalie, Emily, Billy, Abi and Grandma all came to his game last week. He had the largest cheering section imaginable, and he was thrilled.
Billy going for his second lap, with his biggest fan cheering him on. In her flip flops. In all of that dirt. yuck.


Hayden is one of the few boys that actually owns and wears a cup, so he has to catch almost every game. He's getting pretty sick of it, and he was trying to give his cup to AJ the other day so AJ would catch. We had to have a talk about personal property, and how certain things we just can't share with friends. He is improving at catcher, and will now try to catch the ball instead of just dodging it.



Finally at 3rd base, one of his favorite positions. He's a mean, lean fielding machine. Okay, so he's none of those things, but he does like playing 3rd. I'm just glad that he likes baseball so much, because it is by far my favorite sport to watch. I won't mind in the least if I get to watch him play baseball every year for the foreseeable future.
GO SOX!!
