The Play’s At First!

 Ryan got his first chance to play in the infield.  He played first.  Turns out it’s a pretty tough position.  He loved it nonetheless of course.

 

 

 

 

 

WHOOPS

 

 

  Today was the last day of fall ball.  It was a great experience and helped us decide about where to put him next year.  We got another wonderful coach this season.  In fact, there were six dads coaching each week.  We are hoping that most of these players will stay together in the spring.  We would love to have this coach again.

All Dressed Up and Somewhere To Go!

 Today we went to a friend’s Halloween party.  After talking up the monkey costume for weeks I had gotten Erik pretty excited about it.  I finally got around to going to the shed to look for it…

fortunately he was into the frog!

 

 

 

 He’s actually quite jumpy!

 

 

 

Yep, I keep a Snow White costume in my closet.

The photographer was reprimanded for not fixing the princess’s collar! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Taking Requests

Erik requested his creation go up on the blog!

The boys have been crazy for Legos lately.

Switching Things Up

 I was asking Ryan why he wasn’t switch hitting this season…

 

 

so he decided to switch things up last Sunday.  Great, me and my big mouth…it was looking like it was going to be his first time not getting a hit up at bat.  Of course the day is coming, but I was hoping it wouldn’t be upon my comments and all.  While I was sweating it out on the bleachers I heard some annoying mother tell him to switch sides.  I don’t know who she was, though her voice was familiar, but he didn’t hear her or at least didn’t listen.  Next thing you know, “CRACK” went the bat  and he was off.  Good thing he stuck with it and didn’t listen to his mother that old lady!  Hope she learned a lesson, I know he did.

First lawn job!

 

 

 

“Hmmm, wonder if they’ll notice…”

 

 

It was Erik’s first time at the dentist today.

 

Learning about the ‘bugs’ that eat holes in your teeth.

(Don’t worry, I’ve been warning him about those critters for a long time.  It’s often the only way I can get at them.)
