blues & basics

last saturday was the first day of baseball season for us and we had such a fun day.  both boys are playing for the first time ever...soren is doing t-ball and sy is doing coach pitch.  we were both so proud of the boys for trying their hardest and paying attention to their coaches.  here are a few photos...

i will start with soren.  he amazed me.  in any other sport he has tried, he was the kid who was totally ignoring his coach and twirling circles in the middle of the field but something clicked with t-ball.  the biggest surprise was that this kid was actually running to the bases...this kid doesn't run for anything.


                here he is talking with one of the coaches

                                                                        up to bat

                                        waiting on first

                                           and running!

                                      ready in the outfield

sy was just awesome at his game.  he has had a couple practices but this was his first time really seeing how it all works.  the league he is in is really low key so he can learn without a bunch of people yelling at him.  and despite only swinging a bat once (about 2 years ago) he is turning out to be quite the slugger.

                       here he is running it out after a good hit

      with daddy the third base coach

    hanging out in right field

i am just so happy they paid attention...maybe it's because i told them that if you don't pay attention in baseball, you will get hit in the face with a really hard ball and lose all your teeth.
