Opening Day Parade & Game

Are you tired of the baseball posts yet??? :)

While it wasn't technically "opening day" for Luke since he did already have one game, last Saturday was the official kickoff for baseball season in our town.

We were up bright and early to help decorate for the parade.

I always know Luke is having fun and excited, but you wouldn't be able to tell from his face. He is very serious and just takes it all in when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Parade time!

Paige was a little nervous with all of the sirens. She wouldn't get out of her stroller to get the candy. She would just point at the candy she wanted me to pick up for her - ha!

Here come the Brewers!

We were able to make it through a couple of alleys to see them come by three more times - the bonus of a small town!

After the parade it was game time for Luke!

Ms. "I can do it myself" carrying her own lawn chair (which she doesn't even sit in most of the time).

My little tomboy!

We were outside for 4 hours already by the time noon rolled around and we had Fiona's 1st birthday party that afternoon - these kids were troopers!

First Baseball Game

Luke had his very first t-ball game on Monday and I honestly couldn't have been more excited! While it was a little stressful to get home, eat, and get out the door, once we got to the park I think I had a permanent smile on my face and Luke was pretty excited too - which is what it is all about!

But before we headed to the park, I had to get some pictures of my little man in his not-so-little uniform! It truly is enormous, but I suppose that adds to the cuteness of it all!

He was so cooperative for me and that doesn't happen much when we are taking pictures these days!

We couldn't forget about Paige!

These two are seriously just the best (when they aren't driving me crazy that is)!

I was totally THAT mom with my camera, camcorder, and phone all going - ha! Thank goodness he is too young to be embarassed by me yet :)

Warming up!

I guess you could say this was Paige's way of warming up for her cheerleading duties - her brother's water and fruit snacks!

She was yelling "Go!"

A little pep talk before game time!

Luke got to play next to the pitcher's mound 2 out of the 3 innings they play. That is pretty exciting since that is the hot spot for groundballs! (He's left of the mound in "baseball ready" position).

He actually fielded the first ball of the game. He ran right to it, picked it up, and brought it back to his position with him until everyone started saying throw it to first. He did and then he went right back to his spot and got in position - it was the most adorable thing ever!

I wish I could tell you what he was doing - ha!

Nice throw Luke!

Oops! Someone's shirt came untucked!

Paige was being a great little cheerleader!

Until she got bored of course!

On deck!

Each batter gets to start with coach pitch, if they don't hit it after a few tries, then they bring the tee up for the kids. Luke hit off the coach the first inning and used the tee the last 2 innings. He was the last batter so in the last inning he got to "hit" a home run and run around all of the bases!
