Baseball

Getting a pep talk through the fence from Coach Dave


He hit this one!!!




Daddy will even wear purple for his lil girl!!

Well, baseball season has come to an end for this year. It was alot of fun, but also very busy! Both kids played their first year of machine pitch this year and did very well. They were both a lil aprehensive at first, but stepped up and tried their hardest!
Braden actually could have played T-Ball one more year, but in order to keep him on the same team, we moved him up a year early. He did very well, despite being one of the youngest on the team. At the beginning of the year, we were a lil worried! He got very discouraged and his attention level was not quite there, but he came around as the season went on and ended having a blast and sad to see it end. Braden had his best game at one of the last ones! He struggled all year to hit the ball and finally got a hit at one of the last games! He was very excited, but a lil sad because Daddy was not there to see it. (Kaylee had a game at the same time)
Kaylee also had a great season. She plays with a group of girls she goes to school with and they have a great time.....sometimes a lil too much!! She absolutely loves the game and would play year round if she could! She played 3rd base this year and did very well. She was a lil upset at first about playing there (she played pitcher in T-Ball) but stuck it out after the coach told her he needed her there b/c she was one out of 2 on the team that could throw the ball from 3rd to 1st! She ended the season loving 3rd base! She is difinitely our athlete. (for now!)
Both the Twins and the Diamond Divas did very well. Even though I keep score for both teams, I am not sure what their records ended up being. They both won more than they lost and we were very pleased with it being their first year in the new division. Although I am happy for the break, I am a lil sad to see the season come to an end. I really enjoy watching them play ball and Dale is very surprised with how much he enjoys coaching both of their teams.
