Batter Up!

It seems like yesterday we were headed to the ballpark to watch Caleb play.  Now, we have added John Sawyer to our list of ball players.  TBall is just so much fun to watch.  No stress, no rules, no outs-just lots of excitement!  He had a ball playing, and we had a ball watching!  In addition to TBall, we have one running track, one playing softball, and one playing soccer. My only complaint is this $4.00 gas!

 I am also living vicariously through Lindsey and her family.  They enjoyed a quick trip to Chattanooga, and I am sharing pictures from that. 

Cutest ball player ever!!                 

Getting everything lined up and ready to bat is definitely a process!  Everything must be just right! 

                                     

Cheering on our favorite TBall player!

I love seeing this!  It brings back lots and lots of memories.  I know John Sawyer (and Jack) will always remember their dad being right there on the field with them.

I think Jack was offering a little advice, and Pop was teaching Jack the art of eating sunflower seeds.

These guys had a ball and took in all the sights in and around Chatanooga.  I am so glad they got to do this!  

                                                                     More to come!

March

March is the beginning of a super busy time for us.  We have grandbabies playing soccer, softball, track and t-ball.  We will keep the roads hot the next couple of months, but I love watching them! I am super excited to be retired and able to travel to watch them. I have seen parts of the state I never knew existed!  So far, Maddie has had track meets in Lincoln and Wetumpka.  The first meet in Wetumpka was the coldest day ever! John Sawyer will have his first T-ball game this weekend.  We are super excited about that.  Reed and Lillian will get started soon, too.  We are also busy in the yard.  Sod and a little excavator work are next on the never-ending list.

We are so proud of Maddie.  She has done so well as a seventh grader competing on the Varsity team.  She's learning and improving every meet.   

Part of her fan club!  

John Sawyer and Jack's day care closed early each day last week and was closed all day Friday, so they got to hang out with us all week.  We had planned to do something special, but the rainy weather kept us at home.  We still had lots and lots of fun!

Cooking up something special!

Pop offered lots of pointers!  This brings back lots of memories! It looks like he's going to bat left handed and catch right handed.  

Why yes we have a tree climbing dog!  Birds and squirrels beware!

No comment on this technique, but it's looking good! 

More to come~
