it's the Start

of my most favorite time of the year! Baseball season is here! Friday night we kicked off the season with Opening Night ceremonies, inflatables, games, dinner from the concession stand & a late night game that didn't end until 10:40...UGH!!! Both boys have moved up this year. Cole is playing kid-pitch. Cole began the game last night at 3rd base, but by the 3rd inning moved to pitcher where he remained for rest of the game! Did I mention that this was his 1st game ever to even play kid pitch & he was pitching?! I was so proud! His first outing on the mound...3 up 3 down!!! Woo Hoo!
Ben moved up to coach-pitch this year. His first game was Saturday. He played 2nd base for the entire game. And, his first at bat...hit a HOMERUN, followed by a triple! Did I mention this was his first game to play baseball?! And, did I also mention that he is really still supposed to be playing t-ball, not baseball?!?



I am so proud of how both of my boys played this weekend, but mostly I'm just proud of them...that they are good (most of the time anyway!), caring, responsible, loving, always-trying-to-do-their-best, big-hearted boys!
