Can you say Baseball!

I knew our summer was going to be busy before it started. We took on some new projects this year, which I will post later, however, I had no idea baseball would consume two months for us. So here is the beginning of our baseball.

This is the last game of Maestin's city league games. His team did really good they were tied for the 1st place going into the last game, and they lost by one I think. He was the Rockies coached by Rick and Ted Dressein. Maestin learned some very valuable life lessons in baseball this year, and it will be one none of us will forget. I am proud of the way he dealt with his struggles and kept going and never quit. He learned a lot about baseball, as well, and improved his game a ton. He was an awesome second baseman, and was the lead off hitter for the Rockies!

Addler and Ruxton were on the same team this year they were on the Braves Coached by Brand Ward! They would play on one field many nights the same time Maestin would be playing on the other field. They were good about letting Austin and I go go back and fourth. They play with a pitching machine. This was Ruxton's first year to hit with it, he was a little intimated with it but my little lefty got it figured out. Even when he struck out he was smiling he had the best time, mostly because he got to socialize! Addler was the big kid on the team this year so he got to play first base a bunch and was one of the biggest hitters on the team. He almost always connected with the ball! He took it serious and dressed the part and practiced hard. Next year he will move up a league so I will have three boys on three different teams! Yea for us!

This is what Holdan, Austin, and I did for two months-watch baseball. Holdan was such a trooper he hardly ever complained, Austin was a good boy too. He came to a lot of games and supported his boys so good, even though things were really busy on the farm! Thanks Dad!

Ruxton made it on base!
