Big hit!

Aidan has made great progress this baseball season and got some of his best hits ever at this last game.

Baseball Ready!

A goofy smile for the camera :)

Play Ball!

Pop Pop, Aidan and Brandon took in a Round Rock Express game last week. Complete with goofy pictures and fireworks!

Aidans big game!!

This spring, Aidan had the best game ever.

He was playing at pitcher (not actually pitching as it is coach pitch). He made an assist on 1st out and then caught next two flys for two more outs.

He got dog piled n the dugout and the team won the game. He was over the moon happy. I nearly cried when he caught the 2nd fly. It was a magical night!

Goose egg!

Thank goodness baseball is almost over. I don't think aidan's head could stand another week of practice!

All Stars Weekend

This past weekend was our first All-Star baseball tournamnet. The kids played great. I never thought t-ball could be so exciting and nerve-wracking!

Game 1 - 9 am Saturday - we won!
Game 2 - 10:30 Saturday - we lost, but played great against the #1 team in the division
Game 3 - 12:45 Saturday - we lost, played hard, but made some mistakes that cost us the game.

The kids did great. It was a hot, sunny day and the kids stayed happy and eager to play. It was a lot of fun. One more tournament to go and then baseball is OVER for 2010!

Right between the eyes!

Last night @ practice, Aidan got hit in the forehead with a ball. He was fine after a few minutes, but the ball left a knot and an imprint of the stitching right between his eyes.

Those red dots aren't freckles!

More baseball!

Woo hoo! Aidan made the All-Star team for baseball. More to come as we get "serious" about t-ball :) The games are more competitive but Aidan is super-excited to get to keep playing.

The bonus is that Aidan is now willing to get a shorter hair cut. He keeps calling it his all-star haircut.

Pitching Skills!

In t-ball, the kids do not pitch to each other. They do have a "pitcher" on the mound. The kids pretend to pitch and then the batter swings. These are some pics of Aidan's turn on the mound. He took his role as pitcher very seriously.

Aidan's T-Ball Team

The regular season is over... Aidan's team made it two the second round of games in the tournament, but lost our second game. It was an exciting game - the teams were both playing very well. The game did get called early though due to the storm that rolled through. It was an exciting night for everyone ;)

Here is a pic of the team. We had a great season. The coaches were great and the kids had a lot of fun.



Aidan's "serious" face. And the the one sock showing at the top is driving me crazy. Maybe I shou'dve photoshopped that out first!

Aidan the not-so-serious t-ball player

Aidan - the serious t-ball player

play time with daddy

Aidan's first t-ball practice was a couple weeks ago while I was out of town. Clara had fun on the swings, despite the cool weather. Aidan was so excited he wore himself out before they got there... he fell asleep upstairs while waiting to leave.
