Baseball Season=Soooo busy, but fun, fun, fun

We started baseball practice in late February. Dwight is coaching both boys teams. We are so excited to have been able to secure the Dodgers for both teams.  Gunnar is in t-ball. This is his first year. I'm not sure how into baseball he is, but he loves to play with his friends.  He is the absolute cutest baseball player there has ever been. I need to squish him.  Bear is playing Farm ball. In farm ball the boys hit from a pitching machine. Bear loves baseball. He comes and gives me kisses while he is waiting for his turn to bat. He is such a sweet boy.

The Dodger t-ball team is so cute. They are 4 and 5 year olds and are all about the same size. Little.  They are a really well behaved group of little boys.  Their first game was amazing. They even got some outs. Although in t-ball there are no outs and they don't keep score. They totally would have won. :)
 Gunnar is to the right of number 7. He is number 5. The parents all came together and made a tunnel for the boys to run through. They were so excited. I love watching the little t-ball players.

 My sweet kiddos. I"m so thankful for their goodness and for how much they love each other.
 Grandma Dee Dee loves coming out to watch the boys play baseball. She is a great cheerleader.
 My sweet little girls are exhausted after jumping in the bounce houses. It was over 90 that day. We all got sunburns. I am still suffering the consequences of no sun screen. I was not prepared for the warm weather and strong AZ sun.
 

  Gunnar up to bat and then in ready position in the field.
 The farm ball team are a great group of boys too. They are 6,7, and 8 year olds. We have some pretty serious little players. They hustle and are eager to learn and improve. They do outs but don't keep score. Our team is really good though and would win if they did keep score. :) There are 12 games and 10 players, so each boy will play each position at least once. Bear was so excited to play catcher. He was a natural.
 Savannah got hit in the head by a fowl ball.  She was scared more than injured. :) She wore a helmet the rest of the game.
 My Jordan Dodger boys. I love them. My husband is such a good coach. He is positive and encouraging to all the boys. He creates a great environment.  I'm so thankful for his willingness to volunteer his time for my little boys. 

 Me and my little Dodgers. Yes, I do wear Dodgers gear to every game. I even made a Dodgers tie blanket. I am their #1 fan!!!!!! I yell for them and encourage them while they are playing. They give me thumbs up when they make it to first. :) See how burnt my chest is. So painful.
 The cutest little Dodger.
At team pictures I asked the photographer to take a picture of my boys together. I am getting a t-shirt with their photo on it. I'm so excited. :) It's fun to experience different things with my kiddos as they grow up. I hope they look back at their childhood as a happy time. They bring me pure joy.
