Baseball was our life.

So I promised I would upload some older photos and give some updates so here goes. This summer the boys played baseball and they both absolutely loved it. Here are some pictures from the season. Dylan played T-ball this year, and did great. The coach pitches 4 pitches and if you don't hit one of those you have to hit off the tee. Dylan was so proud he only had to hit off the tee once. Any time dad couldn't be at his games to tell him to get to the other side of the plate, he would convince the coaches he was a switch hitter and hit lefty. The other coaches thought this was the coolest thing ever, (a switch hitting t-baller) and he hit the ball all but once when he was lefty. Dad wouldn't let him do it, so he loved it when I was away at camp. Dylan was definitely a little bit of a trash talker he'd get to first and start taunting the other team, or he'd be on second and talking to the second baseman, when asked what he was saying, he told us he was telling him he was having a good game. Total lies. Dylan also loved sliding into home, even though I told him not to, and even though you can't get out in t-ball he slid into home every time.






Connor played in the "farm" league this year. It is the coach pitch league, and they let kids pitch the first 3 pitches. In the second inning of the first game the coach told Connor to go pitch and I thought, "alright here we go he's never done this before" he did a great job and got to pitch in almost every game this summer. Connor was on the Dodgers this summer and had a great season. One of our favorite memories was when while playing first base Connor called time out to go over to the second baseman and tell her to make better throws to him at first base. Classic
