Just Playin' some T-Ball



Hayden decided he would like to try T-Ball out this Fall. We bought him a little T-Ball set and started practicing with him. It's funny how at that age when you say, "Run to the base!" They run to whatever base they want. Hayden picked up the sport very quickly, though. His first game was the cutest thing I've seen, and of course, I forgot my camera! Hayden stood in the outfield on 3rd base with his mit in the air, just waiting for the ball to land in it. Now, when he's playing outfield, he crouches down with his arms on his legs and waits for the ball. He is quite the hitter, too. His coach is pitching to him now, instead of Hayden using the "T". He runs his little heart out to each of the bases, and then he slides into home! Yes, he slides. It's so dang cute. The best thing about T-Ball is every kid gets their time to shine when hitting the ball; and in T-Ball NO ONE gets out, and everyone gets to run home. It has been fun to see him learn this new sport. He always tells me, "Mom, I can run so much faster when you are cheering for me." I must be cheering pretty loud because, in my opinion, he's the best player out there!

T-ball is the best to watch! They try so hard and are so cute! I can't believe that we are starting to have kids old enough to play sports or go to preschool. It feels like yesterday they were just babies. I also want to thank you for recommending your sister for pictures- we had her do our family pics yesterday and she was so cute!
I can't wait to see them- she says she can edited the photos, but I forgot to ask if she could take off 15 pounds for me-- my mom always does family pictures right after I have a baby-- Ahhh! :)
I love reading your posts- it is so fun to be apart of the world of blogging and actually stay in touch with friends.

I seriously can't wait for those days!! We're already going to get Paityn in dance in a month when she turns 3. Oh and seriously the marriage counseling blog was hillarious. Hopefully you wrote that down because that was so dang cute!! I have yet to meet him, but he seems like he has the funniest, cutest personality.

Even if he isn't the best out there, he for sure is the best looking! He is so cute. I love the 'slide' into home base!
