A day at the ballfield

Tanner and Tyler had their first game today with the 10 and under team. They are just "fill ins" on this team. They were kinda nervous because they haven't played with the big kids before. (even though they are physically bigger than the entire team) So here is Tyler trying to look cool, and Tanner trying to look good!

Tanner is trying to soak it all in so he doesn't mess up! So when it came time to bat... they were pretty nervous. That is weird to see with both of them. Tyler was up first... he was in the "stance" and the very first pitch went behind him and hit his bat. Everyone including the coaches thought it hit his helmet. The moms were all gasping and kinda feeling bad that he was hit in his FIRST game. THEN the ump yelled FAIR BALL, so all of a sudden all 4 coaches start screaming for him to RUN!!!!!! So he ran and ran and ran all the way to third base. It was so funny. He made a triple play off of a backwards bunt.

Tanner was up next and he really gets nervous. I KNOW he really wanted to prove himself, my heart was beating for him because I know he was so scared. The kid pitched and he wailed that ball all the way to left center field and brought Tyler in. It was pretty cool that they didn't "mess" up. I am sure nobody would have cared but at least they proved that could hang a little bit with the big kids.

Of course I had to get some nature pictures cause it was so pretty there.

I wasn't going to add this picture cause Tyler looks so funny but they were being silly and I thought it was cute. This is the beginning of what is the busiest time of our lives. All the kids are on a team and we have somewhere to be every night of the week. Crazy but we all enjoy it!!
