Baseball Time!!!

 It's baseball season!!  Woo Hoo!!  This year we are trying something TOTALLY different.  Evan has decided to play on a travel team.  He started practicing with them over a month ago and is LOVING it!!  We needed a change, and I think this was a great choice.  Evan is practicing SO hard, and getting a lot of one-on-one coaching which is great.  He's becoming so much more sure of himself, and has improved SO much in a very short amount of time.

We played in our first tournament a couple of weekends ago in Conway.  It was SO cold!!  I've never been so cold in my whole life!!  

Evan's new helmet, ready to go!!

Evan had an AWESOME game Sunday morning!!  He had one of those amazing jump and dive plays, where he ended up rolling on the ground, and came up with the ball:)  Fun stuff!!

After several crazy good plays, he was absolutely filthy!!  Dirty white baseball pants are a sure sign of a good game!!!  They ended up playing 4 games and came in 5th place in the tournament.  Not bad for our first go at it!

 Thankfully, Nonnie and Poppy offered to keep Beau, since it was going to be SO cold.  He had a great time being the "only" grandchild!  He kept Poppy busy:)

 Last weekend we played in a tournament in Van Buren.  It wasn't nearly as cold, just really rainy.  Beau was SO good!!!

 Here is is....supporting his #21!!!

Evan's team ended up with the 1st seed spot after pool play.  Then the games Sunday ended up getting cancelled for rain, so they "officially" got 1st place in that tournament!!

Looking forward to lots more fun baseball this summer!!
