Take me out to the BALL GAMES!!!!

You could have found us ANY given night (and Saturdays), at the fields, for the month of April and May
Colton (#14) and Sterling (#13) played on a coach pitch team together
THE BATS
We held Colton (above) back from minors to alleviate 3 separate teams this season with a new baby and all...
he fared very well (when he was "into" it)
Sweet Sterling (above) worked his darnedest at hitting and ended the season with a DOUBLE!!
Go Sterling!!!


Colton (above) typically played 3rd or short stop, and had quite the arm
You could find Sterling (above) outfield always listening to the coaches and into the game

OF COURSE every ones numero uno FAN was our sweet Dacie ANN!
Thank heavens she begged to go to the ball fields every eve!
Ryland played his first year of T-BALL on a team with some of our "besties" kids!
He was a TIGER!
Notice him "playing" 3rd base in the above 2 pictures, and you can see the opposing teams runner on 3rd!
Way to dig the dirt Ry!!!
Our sweet stick of a boy hitting and running the bases!

Making it Home was always a highlight
He LOVED fielding the ball when not digging in the dirt and would pretty much chase the ball wherever it went!
even if it meant being hit IN the head (above)

Dacie hanging with "the ladies" at the field!The Season is now OVER
(except for my (alicia's) softball co-ed league I play on Friday nights!!)
It has been beautiful weather, friends, and sunsets we have seen...
it has been good/theraputic for me no matter how hard it was getting there!

AND what would a baseball season be without the SNACKS!?

we saw quite a few great SNACK NIGHTS (partaking and offering)

These were our closing cupcakes for Colton and Sterling's last game!
