T-Ball 2007

Hello All!! Sorry I have been missing in action lately, but my life, as is I'm sure everyone else's, has picked up a bit of speed. My parents were in town last week and it was nice spending time with them. The kids absolutely enjoy their Grandma and Grandpa so it has seemed that the days were just getting away from us. Not to mention that the boys are in baseball and that pretty much has us going EVERY night of the week, however Jarred's season just ended and he had a blast.

As I mentioned before he did have a few minor breakdowns, but for the most part it was a good year. Rusty and I really talked to him about keeping his emotions under control and it took some effort, but we managed to make some great progress.

So in honor of his good little season I thought I would share some pics of my little T-Baller..aka Major Leaguer..in action.

Here he is in all his glory.. all 45 inches and 5 full years of him!!


He started the season off at 2nd base and then they moved him to shortstop. Here he is of course down in his "ready position"...a little something he has heard Dad yelling at his big brother for the past couple weeks..hehe



Here he is making a routine stop.


Another shot of him stopping a grounder..My Dad took these pics and he did sooooo awesome about capturing the pic at the right time..great job Dad!!


Here he is eyeing the ball to take a major whack at it!!


And here comes the WHACK!!



Running for his life to the next base..Seriously I am not exaggerating when I say this, at times this is how he felt..Sigh


Waiting intensely for the crack of the bat so he could run Home..hehe


Coach Rusty watching and coaching from the outfield in his usual position and spitting sunflower seeds to pass the time.

All in all it was a great year and a lot of fun. Jarred improved alot on his baseball skills, but even more importantly I think he gained some major ground in life lessons.

Great Job Cubbies and Great Job Jarred!!!
