Another baseball season under way!

My three little leaguers! ♥♥♥

Opening day was March 5th! Brooklyn and Blake are in AAA ball (first year of kid pitch) and Gavin FINALLY gets to start tball!! Of course they had the players' parade before the games began. Brooklyn and Blake are the Durham Bulls and Gavin is the Notre Dame Fightin' Irish.Cousin Andrew is playing Coach Pitch and poor Spencer has to wait another year to play tball.

For their first games, Preston and I started off at Brooklyn and Blake's game, Matt started at Gavin's game. Then I walked clear across to where Gavin was playing and Matt went over to watch Brooklyn and Blake's game. When Gavin was done, we trekked it back over to finish off at the twins' game, which lasts 2 whole hours!!!! The AAA games are pretty slow moving with the kids pitching and still learning how to get it precisely in the right range for the batter to hit.

(Blake is the one with his arm around the coaches shoulders here, such a sweetie)

Gavin has been so excited that he gets to play this year! We haven't really done much practicing with him but he seems to be a natural. He is definitely a tenderheart, so we'll have to work on the aggression thing as he goes along. ;)

This is a funny video of Gavin's first at-bat that I'm SO glad Matt caught on his phone!

Having three kids on two different teams has proved to be a challenge for me this year! When all three kids have practice at the same time in two different places, someone is going to have to be late and the others are going to have to be dropped off, which has been hard for me to be ok with. But what do you do??? We're contemplating moving Brooklyn over to girls softball next year, but that will create even MORE craziness!

My new favorite shirt of Matt's!! I got this for him super cheap and he got SO many comments about it during the baseball games that day! haha!
