Baseball Season Finale - Championship Weekend!

It was a great, albeit, BUSY!! summer of ball...

To me, though, that goes together like peanut butter and jelly.

Summer and Baseball and Little Boys...

We've come so so far from last year - 

Remember this???

HA!

What a difference a year makes!

I think it's safe to say the kiddos loved their coach - 

he IS pretty easy to love...

and quite a catch!

And this one here...

he's got my heart too...

The kids showed amazing teamwork this year.

Led by a great group of coaches and dedicated Dads.

It was super fun to play in a real tournament to cap off the season ~ 

And even more fun to bring home some hardware ~ 

Finishing the season in 3rd place - not too bad boys!

Pretty awesome, if you ask this biased mom!

This is the stuff that life is made up of.

The things that he, and I, will remember forever.

Because seriously - how could you forget these moments?

One dad, holding another dad AND holding a kid?

Awesome, and amazing.

As a mom, having to get everyone from here to there to everywhere...and still have to go to the job to pay the bills and get the groceries and do all the things, I won't lie, it was a long season, even if it was only 3 months long...but it was worth every rush to the field, every (second) dinner prepared after 9 pm.

Thank God for an amazing marriage and teamwork, both on and off the field.

Nice finish boys!

Cardinals Baseball - Go Team!

This baseball season started out tricky.

Rain, Rain. Rain. RAIN!

But finally, we were able to PLAY BALL!

This year is soo different than years' past...

I still see him as this teeny tiny, 3 year old little home run hitter!

It honest to God feels like last summer to me...and they were just teeny peanuts!

And why won't my videos embed in this blog post instead of having to go to the old ones to view??

But we've come a long long ways, even from last season - 

This season, we have umpires.

Two boys in blue!

ACK!

And it's one, two, three strikes you're out at this old ballgame!

Those are tough lessons to learn when you are only 7 ~ 

But hey, not everyone gets a medal, and I get that, and I applaud that!!!

He's learning ~ 

he's concentrating...

And most of all - he's having fun.

This dogpile right here?

What you can't see - is D's Dad, my husband, underneath the group.

He's the head coach this year, and if this doesn't scream 

GREAT JOB COACH!

Then I don't know what does.

These are 7 & 8 year old boys...

At this stage in the game, it needs to be all about having fun!

It's about building friendships.

And finding confidence as you go along your way ~ 

Some days, you've just got it!

And maybe other days, you don't.

But we don't give up.

We get back out there, and we go down swinging if we have to.

We're finding our groove(s) ~ 

And we're having fun and along the way we're building memories that will last a lifetime.

What is summer without a baseball season?

Nothing, for this little guy!
