Will has played several baseball games this year with his "World Finance" team. They have won a couple too! He is having a really good time and a little competitive nature is starting to show. The past few years he has been on the fence with baseball....meaning he is having fun while he is playing but after his practice or game is over, he doesn't really think about it anymore. This year, he is showing alot more interest in the game and also in working to improve his skills. He is always asking us to go throw the ball with him or let him practice batting. He's still one of the youngest (7 years old in a league of 7,8,9 and 10 and some 13's by the looks of them) and he's still in the outfield, but he's making stops and paying attention to the whole game. And this year, there is alot more action in the outfield. These boys can hit! The main thing is he is loving it! I love to see the boys having fun in sports!
Will is hitting really good too. He gets on base almost every time up at bat. I think he has only struck out once this season. Trent is working with him on using his whole body to hit the ball, not just his arms. He's a strong batter, but if he would put his hips in it, it would go far!!
Wyatt and Weston love to "practice" with Daddy when Will is playing!
Wyatt has started his very first T-Ball season. He LOVES it! His "Lee Raines" team has only played 2 games because several have been rained out but he has done a great job each game!!
Wyatt has gotten on base each time up to bat and even hit a double!
He switches positions between outfield, pitcher and 3rd base. While playing pitcher, he got 2 people out at home!!
He is having so much fun!
Since everyone is so into baseball this season, we took the boys and cousin Landon to see a Sounds game. Landon won a ticket through a reading program at school and it was the perfect opportunity to go see real professional baseball players!
The boys were so so so very excited!!
They ate nachos and drank coke and cheered on the Sounds! They didn't catch any foul balls but several came in our area!!
On another note, Trent and I climbed nashville...well, attempted to climb nashville. We mainly climbed the beginner walls! Rachel and Blair did great!! Don't they look like professionals!
The guys could climb the really hard walls no problem...
Of course they had to strategize first!
Trent is off work today and we are off to see Wyatt's music program at school then go look for a new truck. Will had field day on Friday, Weston had a birthday and we had the busiest weekend ever!! More on that later.
For now, I'll leave with a cutie pie. Boys and baseball make the sweetest pictures!
