Here we go again . . .


Hunt and Coach Mike
Yesterday was Opening ceremonies for little league.  Hunter also had his first game against the Dodgers.  They did great and had a blast.  We've had one little girl that wouldn't even practice with the team, but she got out there and had a blast.  I think it's because she has a great coach!  This is Michael's 3rd year coaching the T-Ball Red Sox and he is well loved by the kids and parents.  I love seeing him get so excited about a bunch of 4-6 year olds going out to play ball!                                                                                                   The ceremonies were good and they ran on time which is great when it's cold and windy outside.  I'm not sure the little t-ballers understand the whole process, but 2 of our kids won prizes that were raffled off so they were excited.  After the ceremony we headed to the game at another park and got warmed up a bit.  I was excited to stay for most of the game before heading to Haley's practice at another park.  When the day was over we had left the house at 8:30 in the morning and didn't get home until around 2:30.  That's a long day for a 1 and 2 year old who are used to naps and regular meals :)  It's going to be a busy season with 2 kids playing in 2 different leagues.  Michael might be able to make it to 1 of Haley's games, which is to bad!  I love watching the kids compete and have fun playing sports, but I'm always happy to see the end and get my family back for a while.  I'm glad Michael is coaching and it's truly a  family event!  I even spent last Saturday with Haley at a Softball Clinic.  I got my own glove and learned quite a bit.  It's so fun to go out and actually play catch with your kids.  Hunter is getting so much better and can even catch a lot of the balls thrown at him.

Do you think we like the Red Sox?
  
This is what I dealt with.  Snot and cold winds.  Gross . . . I know!

Haley really wanted to be out on the field with Dad and the T-ballers!  Her opening ceremonies are next week
 
Here's all the kids and coaches . . . they're sizing up the competition :)

Michael is soo good with the kids and they really look up to him.  This is him with Hunters friend Tanner.  He looks like he's lost in all that equipment.

Throw me the BALL!

Eye on the ball . . .

Check out that Stance!


Here they are herding the kids onto the field.  Cute kids!
Haley insisted on a picture of "the girls" even
though she looks like she just got out of bed.
