Baseball

Baseball season has begun!!  When it was time to sign up for the season, Teague and Baylee were the two that knew for sure that they wanted to play ball.  The other 3 were not for sure and went back and forth between playing and not playing, but when the final day came around to sign up, all 5 kids wanted to play!  Troy, Teague and Kelby are all on the same team and have been great fun to watch! 



Teague was all about buying baseball pants and gloves and bats, but at the very first practice he was not going to participate!!  Richard had to carry him out there and even then he didn't want to go too close so Richard stood with him away from the huddle!!  Luckily, by the second practice he was a little more willing to play, but his short attention span only allows for about 30 minutes of participation and then he will retreat to the dugout for some dirt playing!  They have nicknamed him 'skittles' because he can be bribed to play catcher and/or to bat with just a hand full of skittles!!


They had their first tournament last weekend and they were all ready to play!!


Kelby warming up to bat with big brother and his friend looking on!


Each player is required to play 2 innings so Teague played catcher.  It's the best place for the young ones in T-ball because all they really do is stand behind the plate with the coach or umpire. Here he is asking where his skittles are!
