Every year our kids play baseball. Every year I moan and groan and whine about having to go to all the games. In the cold. In the heat. 3 different kids in 3 different levels, on 3 different teams, with games often on the same night, at the same time. Each year Zack would get hit by wild pitches and then he'd be DONE! No more hits the rest of the season. Poor kid was hit several times. Well, last year Zack's games were a little bit more entertaining because the kids were kind of getting the hang of it. Well, this year baseball is actually FUN!! We love watching the games. The kids REALLY know what they are doing not and it's just incredible to watch some of the awesome plays they make. Last week they had the Tornado Tournament. They had games every night last week. They are undefeated for the season. They made it through the week undefeated, too. They were so awesome! Zack got hit by a ball the first time he was up to bat this year. We figured it was all over but he has been an awesome hitter this year! His coaches are the best too! Very positive. Well, they were undefeated going into it. They made it to the championship game. Zack had a great hit that brought in 3 runs in the first game they played that day. His team ended up winning the championship! The boy in center field caught a pop fly, making the final out winning the game. It was THE COOLEST moment!! Everyone cheered! The team all ran to the middle and hoisted him up and cheered! It was like a scene from a movie. He was named MVP and gets an embroidered hat. The team gets embroidered hoodies. It was so much fun! So this year I like watching baseball. Matty and Max are on the same team and have their first game on Monday. We'll see how that goes. It will beat the heck out of watching T-Ball again. It was cute at first but we've pretty much been watching T-Ball for the past 12 years and pretty much all of the cute has been sucked out of it for me. :)

I totally get you! I didn't even sign my youngest two up, we're skipping t-ball and waiting until they can play regular ball. The other two keep us running to enough games as it is! Briley just finished basketball last Sat. Nov - April is WAY too long for a single season. I'm ready for softball --- something new will be fun!
