We Interrupt this Summer for Baseball Season!

Baseball Season is in full swing and with both boys playing it definitely keeps us busy!  Mason is playing Tee-Ball and seems to be enjoying it however I have to say that watching 5 year olds play baseball can be complete torture sometimes, they just really have very little focus for more than about 2.5 minutes.  But none the less it is awesome to watch Mason develop as a little baseball player and get excited with every catch and every at bat.  He only has one week left and then his first baseball season comes to an end.   

Colton is playing on a 10U Team this year and they are doing awesome.  The team is 7-0-1 in the regular season, they are really working hard to remain undefeated and win that division trophy on the season and go into the end of year tournament as the #1 seed.  Colton has been working hard on his batting and this last weekend at their tournament he made me very proud.  On Sunday he was 4 for 4 at bat and was beaming with pride with every hit.  At the beginning of the season he seemed scared of the ball and would jump out of the batters box cause he was afraid to get hit but now he is swinging at the first pitch and Sunday he connected every time on that first swing. It was so much fun to watch. The boys didn't win their games on Saturday but Sunday they came back a new team and they played their hearts out and won both their games and took home the consolation trophy.  Very proud of our boys and excited to watch them finish out this season and hopefully take home a 1st place trophy in their next tournament!  

Here are a few pictures from our tournament this last weekend.  Colton had some great hits and plays and it was so much fun to watch and at the same time it was very stressful.   The older the boys get the more competitive the games are and the more pacing this mama has to do!  Now Mason has pretty much grown up on a baseball field, spent the last 5 summers watching his big brother play and this year is no different.  Mason is very good at entertaining himself while we sit in the heat for 6 hours a day, he plays in the dirt, eats plenty of snacks and this time he even got to be official score keeper for two of the games.   He is such a great baseball brother!  I LOVE MY BASEBALL BOYS!
