Hello again Saturdays!

I can’t believe we have finished our first season of little league!

It went by so fast!! But was so fun watching this group of little boys grow as players!

In the beginning of the season the games were EXTREMELY slow and lets be real…pretty boring.  At the end it was actually fun and full of real action!

Beginning of the season 90% of kids had to use the tee…end of the season 90% didn’t use the tee the whole game. Maybe 3-4 kids needed it once…maybe. 

Not only do the boys know HOW to hit the coach pitched balls but they also know WHERE to run!! haha No more running to 3rd base on accident.   I love watching our boys run as fast as they can through first and “hook” around coach. The little fundamentals they are learning are amazing!

I love that tongue out running…hoping he doesn’t bite it off one day! eck.

GREAT hit by Owen and he looks back at his cheering section…


He’s happy to see Aunt Missy, Uncle Chris and Peyton there watching him!

The coaches worked so hard with our boys this season and it REALLY paid off.  I appreciate all the time and patience they gave to our crazy little boys!

A little tradition they do it “tunnel time”…Ella’s FAVORITE part!!  All season I wanted to get pictures but never could.  Finally I got some of Owen going through the tunnel…and you can see the smile on his face…I think its one of his favorite parts of the game too!

 
 
Yes thats my goofy son saying “eye peace” to his dad taping with the GoPro. Such a nerd.

Our coaches would meet with the team after each game and go over the goods and the bads…I loved that. All they kept game stats and awarded the kids with the best stats the game ball. Some parents might not agree with this…but we are NOT one of those “everyone is amazing and gets a trophy” families. We teach our son that he has to work hard to get recognition. And playing, learning and having fun is more important than anything.  He gets it. And I love that he strives to do his best and hopes to get that game ball every game..and never pouted with someone else got it. He’s learning to be a real team player already…makes me proud!

Ella wants to be part of the team SO bad! Can’t wait until we can get her into little league. She’s gonna be a baller…like her mama! haha

Very proud of this team..and can’t wait to get started in the fall to continue watching them learn!

The season wouldn’t be complete without a real pizza party!!

  


The team mom’s put together a great pizza party…kids had a great time and loved all their goodies!

This stud had 20 hits and 4 outs for the season (we gotta work on his fielding skills haha).  He has talked about getting this trophy since the day we signed up. And as soon as we got home he started comparing his fall trophy to this one…and this one was “waaaay better, its bigger and shinier!” haha

  

But I have to say I’m going to appreciate this little break from sports…3 days a week of baseball was rough sometimes.  I’m excited to have our Saturdays back!! Woot woot!  Oh wait…when doesn’t swim lessons start again?
