Way to go, Brandt!

See this sweet face? This is the face of someone who just hit a 2 run in-the-park homer. That is right, a 2 run HOME RUN!!! Last night was Brandt's 1st ever double, and then tonight he hit it to the fence, and then it was off to the races. So proud of him, and our entire team...way to go, River Cats!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

My Mom is Special!

by Brayden (he was 4) circa 2008

I found this recently and thought it was so cute.

My mom is special because she had a baby in her tummy.

I like it when my Mom holds me!

My mom has a pretty smile! I like to make her smile by bringing her white and yellow flowers.

My mom is as pretty as a flower.

My mom is smart! She even knows how to play t-ball.

Game Ball²

This was a great week of baseball in our house. Brandt got the game ball earlier this week and tonight we had game ball². That is right not one, but 2 of the boys received the coveted game ball.

Bryson got 2 great hits, one from each side of the plate. Yep, he is a switch hitter, and pretty stinking good at it. He also made a couple of good plays in the field including beating a runner to 1st for an out. Way to go, Bry!

Brayden played an excellent game against a power house of a team. He hit the ball really well twice, and hustled very quickly down the line making it safely the 2nd time. He also fielded a really hard ball and threw it in right away keeping the runner on 1st, which normally would have been a home run. In fact, they held that team to zero runs that inning, which I don't think has happened all year. Good job Brayden!

Game Ball time

Texas in May is usually well into the 90s and hot, HOT, HOT. Today the high was actually cooler than the typical low for this time of year. I don't remember having this type of weather past say March before...especially not into May.

We had 2 baseball games tonight and it was sprinkling and around 50 degrees the whole time. We had to go digging for long sleeves and jackets.

Poor Brennan was freezing

The boys played really well tonight. Brandt had 2 RBIs and 2 amazing stops and throws to 1st for outs at pitcher. He had a really great game, and got the game ball tonight.

Our whole team played very well, and 2 kids received game balls tonight. However, we only took 1 game ball to the field so Brandt got an IOU for his ball...thankfully we knew where to find him. :)
