{Baseball 2013}

We are in full swing with Spring baseball.  Ayden is playing this year after taking last year off because we hadn't found a good league that didn't have games and practices on Sundays.  This year though Ayden brought a flier home from school for this league and we are actually really happy with it.  You wouldn't think Ayden sat out a year though, he has jumped in with both feet and has been having a great time.  He is the smallest and probably one of the youngest.  He is getting to pitch this season, which I think is his favorite position (like father like son hey?).  The coach does a really great job of moving players around and trying them at different positions to see where they fit the best.  Ayden has been at catcher, pitcher, outfield and shortstop.  He likes to be in the action, so catcher and pitcher are his favorite positions.

Ryan is enjoying this baseball season right along with Ayden.  He is usually the one that takes him to his practices and talks shop with Ayden in the evenings while watching MLB games.  Apparently the other coaches could see a  gold mine of information sitting untapped in Ryan.  Last night they officially made him the pitching coach for the team and gave him a hat and made him start right before the game.  Ryan was in heaven, but trying to refrain from channeling his inner Ed Cheff (Ryan's college coach that could be well, a bit of a fanatic you could say).  I had to remind him that these were just boys and to take it easy on them!! :)

Lauryn has declared that she wants to try softball next season and Wyatt will be old enough to do T-Ball next Spring too.  We might as well sign Meysa up too so she isn't left out.  Heaven help me.  I am glad though that my kids are out being active and having fun along the way.

This one is blurry but Ryan liked Ayden's form!!
