End of T-ball Season 2017

What a great season! The boys got to play on a team with their friends and became even closer as a result. I made friends with their moms who are awesome. And we were undefeated this season! Haha, all the t-ball teams are "undefeated" because they don't keep score or even tag kids out.

NSLL Trophy!

The Emeralds with coach Brian, Kelly, and Brian T

Also, Miranda made a new friend her age thanks to being forced to come to all the games. Ella is Nolan's little sister, and the coach's daughter.

First T-Ball Game 2017

The first game was a home game versus Thunder. All though that's a big joke because all the games are the exact same field. We had individual and team pictures beforehand and then the Emeralds started in the field.

Parents are SO ready!

T-ball is adorable and when the kids go up to bat they always get to go to the next base. When the last kid is up to bat, he "gets a home run" and all the players run home. I didn't get this at first at thought Thunder was destroying us. But it quickly started making sense when I saw James stay at first even after the first baseman got the ball there. I could have cried with happiness. I thought he was going to be out right away.

Oops, close to home base.

Did I mention I love T-Ball so much?

Woo!

T-Ball Practice 2- April 2017

I'm a little in love with t-ball and everyone involved. That is all.

She's fierce

After practice, we took James to buy a helmet and bat, and Miranda earned her own glove too.

Miranda got a little pink glove

First T-ball Practice 2017

James started t-ball! Kevin has been waiting for this since James was born. My favorite part is that his kindergarten classmates hooked us up so he can be on a team with some of his friends (and my mom friends). He'll be playing with Nolan, Darin, and Kyle while I hang out on the bleachers with their moms Carrie, Candace, and Erica. He's on the Emerald's team and Nolan's dad Kelly is the coach.

James's first time on first base, haha.
