T-Ball 2017: Round Rock Express

Cade finished up his second year of t-ball and once again Chad coached, along with our brother-in-law Wayne and one of his high school buds, Brian, who ended up being the head coach. 

It was a great group of kiddos again this year and Cade really enjoyed it a lot more I think. He had practiced a lot with Chad and was really more into the game, not just into shoveling dirt on the field with his cleats! HA

Here's a few action shots I took at the last game...

gotta slide into home...

Charlie thinks he should be on the field too...bless it....

Our niece Macy came to cheer on her cousin Cade!

Three little monkeys sitting on a bench! These cousins definitely had a fun time...

Next year Carter will go up to fast pitch since he's 6 and we're trying to decide if we will move Cade up to. His daddy told him it depended on how much he practiced :) :) 

Can't believe our babies are growing up so fast!!!

opening day

It was opening day in our hood' this past Saturday so that meant Cade's (middle) second year of t-ball, Carter's (left) third year of t-ball, and Hayden's (right) first year of t-ball! These cousins were ready to play as the Round Rock Express. I said yeah, they're an express alright...the hot mess express...CHOO CHOO!

mark my word. my nephew Carter is definitely going to be a ballplayer. he's a slugger!

Twin nephews Maddox and Jackson play for fast pitch team. Maddox pitches and Jackson hit a home run!

We took our wagon again where Charlie and buddy Jax could sit and eat all the Goldfish they wanted...

Cade and great-grandma Frieda...

Excited for a fun season ahead!

the end of a season

Cade finished his very first tee ball season Tuesday night! It went by in the blink of an eye. He really had a fun time playing with his cousin (and "best buddy", so he calls him, shown here in pic beside him) Carter and he loved making new friends too. His main coach was his Uncle Wayne and then Chad and another friend Blake helped the team out as coaches too. Here's a few pics I snapped at Monday and Tuesday's games. I tried to capture this little time in their lives and bottle up all of our tiny ballplayers because I know I will blink again and they will be playing baseball in high school.

It may take him 28323983 swings before hitting the ball, but my boy does know how to do one thing really well - SLIDE. As if he "needs" to slide in tee ball. This just goes to show you how much he likes putting on a "show". He literally couldn't hit the ball because he was too concentrated on making sure we were all watching him. LAWD. Then when he DID hit the ball, you should have seen that "strut" to first base. He is such a trip.

papa josh stealing kisses from Charlie. So presh.

Taking pics with Troy because Cade wouldn't cooperate {or stay off the playground long enough}

This one had the best time watching big brother and friends play!

one of my best friends, Ruth, with Charlie. too much sweetness!

Again, very thankful for our coaches and our little ballplayers. This is a view right here I better get use to. I am thankful the Lord blessed me with two healthy boys who can play ball and I can only pray my nights are filled with the bright lights of the ballfields and my laundry room filled with dirty uniforms.
