Our Weekend

Jonah had his first T-ball game on Saturday. It was pretty cute. Our team did really well, and in my opinion won, even though we don't keep score ☺

These kids are all three and four years old. It is amazing that they can learn the game this young! They play three innings per game. They don't keep score, and there are no doubles and no outs; the kids run to the next base every hit. It's a great way for these little guys to understand baseball.

Here are the kids with their coach, deciding on a team name. The kids had a few ideas: Ninja Turtles, Lions, and Gators, but we went with the Crocodiles!
The kids in their batting line-up:
The spectators:
Here is Jonah batting...
...and I just noticed that that pitcher just ran the ball to first base! Cheap!

That's one good thing about our team and coach. Our kids learn to stop the ball, then throw it to first base. Sometimes they get out of position and dog pile on the ball, but they are learning to throw.
Batting again...
Grandma, Lexie, and Sharrid showed up halfway through the game. Jonah was pretty excited to have so many supporters, especially his last time batting. We all cheered for him as he ran to first base and he looked over at us and had the cutest smile on his face! I think he was really excited to see Grandma.
Here they are doing their cheer...
Go Crocodiles!

The kids had fun with their cousins after the game. It was record-breaking hot this weekend, so the kids were ready to get in that pool! I think we need a bigger one, but the kids don't seem to mind their knees buckling as they hit that wall...



Grandma and Kira had to leave before we went to church. Here are the kids all ready to go. Kira did Levi's hair!
Thanks for coming, Kira and Grandma! See you at Thanksgiving!

Yeah! I love the Crocodiles! I was worried about the Ninja Turtles for a bit. haha. I am really sad I missed it. I hadn't missed a tball game yet. Hopefully I can watch this week!

yeah, what that pitcher on the other team did is totally legal but still, not the first thing a pitcher would normally do...

Looks like he's loving T-ball! It's so great when they're little to have something they get excited about. Love Levi's hair for Sunday- it's a keeper.

That last pic of Eden is a hoot. She's so eager....and weird. It was so fun to see those crazy kids. I'm so mad I got sick though! And don't I just sound like such a mean old auntie in that video clip? haha
