Batter Up

Before basketball season was even over, the boys started preparing for baseball season. Opening ceremonies was on March 27th and was chilly as usual. Jackson & Cason both got to play on Opening Day, which they were excited about!

Cason's baseball butt is all covered up:(



Jackson moved up to kid-pitch league this season, and he was one of the pitchers on his team. I was very anxious to see how he would handle the pressure of a pitcher. He is not one to want to be the center of attention, and a pitcher definitely has all the attention.




I shouldn't have worried because he did great! He rarely got flustered and pitched as consistently as a 7-year old can pitch. I was one proud baseball mom!

Jax's team had a great season. This age-group does not go to a city tournament or have All Stars, so once all they had played all their games were complete their season was over. They did get a pretty cool trophy though!



Cason did not play baseball last year and it took alot of convincing for him to play this year,but he played nonetheless. Like most kids, he hated going to practice but liked playing the games. If he would have put as much effort into hitting and fielding as he did chatting it up with the kids, coaches, & fans, he would have been an awesome player. Cason takes after his momma in that he plays sports more to socialize with his teammates than to actually play the sport!

Cason usually played in right or left field. When he paid attention, he stopped balls & backed up 1st or 3rd base just like he was taught!

Whether he was the best player on the team or not, he was definitely one of the cutest and he got a big trophy just like all the all-star players!
