Opening Day

Well like every Saturday I had to do a little work this morning and we ended up missing the opening day ceremonies. I do not think the boys cared though, it was not the big deal like it was last year so all was well and there were no fights about it. The biggest difference in opening day was the fact that this year the games were real season counting games. John Michael played at 2:00 and Danny at 2:00 and 4:00.

I missed Danny's first game so that I could see John Michael's. I watched the score, but Brandon was with him so he had a cheering squad, which is what I care the most about! They lost the first game 19-4 (I think) and the second game they won 11-10. I know that this one is right I watched it and it was a GREAT game. So proud of all the boys. My little catcher boy is really doing great!

John Michael's team won their game 13-2. They played amazing. John Michael got up to bat twice and hit the ball great both times and made it to second both times! YEAH!!! He was on it out in the field too. He has really grown a lot since last year. He even has a game face and he kept it on.

Monday I plan to go to the City of Clay to have a discussion about the A$@ who is running the concession stand. Stay tuned as I will update everyone after I say my peace.

The storms decided to head this way almost as soon as the games were over so we rushed home. It has thundered and lightened a lot but there has been very little rain. I guess that is just the way that it goes sometime.

Well, I am off too bed. Can you believe that March is over?

Opening Day...

Take me out to the ballgame, take me out to the crowds!!! What a day for opening day! It was gorgeous and warm!!!

Danny team is the Yankee's, John Michael's is the Detroit Tigers! They looked great this morning all decked out and ready to play ball! I love this time of the year. It is hectic and busy and also wonderful and fun! The boys learn so much in just a few months. Plus we are all together and all outside! It is great.

Today the boys had their opening ceremony, which was really nice. Then they had pitching or batting competitions. Danny chose to pitch, and he won a silver medal. He was so excited and I was so happy for him. John Michael chose to go bounce, he did not really care about a medal, which was actually very surprising to me since all he wanted last night was a trophy. Anyway, today was for them and about them so bouncing it was.

John Michael's team was the first to play the lost their first game, but since the rain continued to interfere with practice this week they played the second game too. It gave them some more practice, since these were short fun games more than anything. They lost their second game too, but not as bad, which was definite plus.

Danny's team played as soon as John Michael's was done with the first one. The problem was we did not realize this so Danny was the second inning getting there. He did GREAT though and even though it was practice game too they won and he was super pumped!

Of course there had to be some drama, but hopefully that is all behind us and we can move on. This is for the boys and the adults should always be on their best behavior. Never good when the fits thrown on the fields are by the parents. Brandon did great in nipping it in the bud!

Both boys got their helmets airbrushed, and they were so excited about that! I will get some pictures up soon and show everyone. They also got their fill of shaved ice and funnel cakes! Danny did lose his catcher's mitt. He sat it down and went to get something and it was gone. I am sure someone has a nice new mitt, but remember KARMA is a b.... We went and got him another one in case it does not show up in the lost and found. He has to have one though. Other than that it was a perfect day!!!

Well the boys are finally asleep so I am headed there myself. I am so tired and we have a busy day tomorrow. Church, baseball, yard work, etc. Before I go to bed I will be praying for you all. I hope that everyone had a great Saturday and has a wonderful Sunday!
