Blake's Last Game

Here's Blake and Will at his last game.  Will got to be the assistant coach.  What a challenge it was to coach this t-ball team!  There was not very much parental support out there so it was pretty chaotic at times!  (At this age it should really be one on one...they are only 3 years old!) By the end of the season they figured out the best approach was to have all the kids line up where the pitcher would be and each take a turn fielding the ball instead of tackling eachother every time. I got to help out with the helmets in the 'dugout' and a couple of times when Will couldn't make it on time.  I was called 'lady coach' by a couple of the kids.  Funny!


Blake and Daddy....Go Volcanoes!!

Enjoying outfield

Blake had a shirt that was about 3 times too big.  We had to roll the sleeves just right, tuck it in just right, and put a rubber band at the back of his shirt at the neck to tighten it up just right too.  He is definitely my son....every thing has to be just right!  Oh, shoes had to have the laces tucked under just right too!  He was in heaven though.  He really loved playing and loved looking like a baseball player!  I love this happy smile!

He had a pretty straight throw and wanted to hit a home run every time.  He ate dinner the best the night of a game.  He thought it would help him get a home run!

The last cheer - Blake is right in the center of this picture with the sun on his face.

He loved his trophy!  He played around at the park after his party and carried it with him everywhere!  This is Blake with coach Craig.
