T-ball Practice

John's First T-ball Practice
John had his first ball practice on Monday 3-28. It was his first practice of anything ever! He had
school and practice. Dad said "our boy has his first full day!"
It was so cute. He's so proud of his glove and cleats. He was a little nervous but excited too.
His coach is nice and actually he's our neighbor. He gave all the kids gift goody bags. It was full of fun: two baseballs, whiffle balls, bases, a ball game, goldfish crackers, juice box, a baseball money bank. When Coach passed out goody bags, John said, "I love my coach!!"
He did great throwing and catching and learning about where to stand and how to stand. He loved hitting the T. John's excited for Wednesdays practice. Yay for T-ball!!
Ps. Jake played video games on my iPhone the whole practice. No jealousy. :)

SUMMER!!!

Did I Ever Tell You About The Time...

In the spring and summer of 2007, Mike took Johnny with him to the high school during football practice, to give me a much needed break from John. Jake was a little guy, just born in Spring 2007. (Who knew that taking care of a baby and a 18 month old would be a lot of work??) One day, after practice, John came home from the field covered from head to toe in mud. It wouldn't be the last time...

Rain or Shine, We WILL Play Outside!
