Take Me Out to the Ball Game.....Every night!

We ended up with three kids playing some form of baseball/softball this season...wow, it was really something.  And we did spend at least 3-4 nights each week at some kind of ball park!  It was a little crazy.

Cole completed his first year of t-ball, and he loved it!  He was fired up and ready for his turn at something...he loved that his best neighbor friend was on his team.  He was also convinced that he needed to wear his shirt tied up like the girls.  Whatever, right?


Regan participated in her first year of coach pitch.  It was hard to tell how much she really liked it, but she just seemed happy to be there with her friends.  She was all about the fashion and says that next year, she wants to play in Jordan's league because they "have better uniforms."  True.




And of course, Jordan played little league softball.  Tod was her coach, and they really enjoyed doing something together that they both love.  I love how they would come home from the games and re-hash everything again.  I really didn't get many pictures of Jordan because I always had a baby in my arms....plus the games were super intense...and when she was pitching, it was all I could do to just sit there and get through it.  So much pressure on a 9 year old.  Ashton and I could barely contain our own nerves.  Good thing Jordan was calm and collected.  I'm not sure I can take the many more years of her pitching!  (Love her uniform this year!)


There are some things I really love about softball...I love that there are always other parents to visit with on the side-lines.  It is so great to just have time to sit and talk!  I like that since the game is slower paced, the kids can enjoy hanging out with teammates.  I love at the end of the night how everyone is tired and dirty from playing at the ball park....yes, I will miss you softball season...until next year.
(Probably my favorite picture of the whole season.  My neighbor took it at Cole's game...I think I need to frame this one.)

Regan's 10th Birthday!
