Summer Sports Fun

 Elijah had another year of baseball this summer. He was in the 2nd/3rd rec league and he was the only 2nd grader on the team with 3rd graders so he was pretty small. But the cool thing about baseball is that you don't have to be big:) He is a quick runner and did really well. 

 Mark helped Miss Julia coach and it was a fun 2 months. 

 Sophia also played her second summer of softball and really could hit that ball! 

She played a variety of spots and she said her favorite was catcher. 

So thankful for all our friends and family who came out to watch the kids play!

Thanks for caring about what our kids care about! 

Wrapping up baseball for Elijah

Elijah is done with his first ever season of baseball.  

He did great and we enjoyed watching him play and cheering him on as family:) 

Coach Kern celebrated the end of the season with a BBQ at his home and 

gave the kids a trophy and a medal for all their hard work. 

He was a great coach and we will request him next summer:) 

Elijah starts baseball

Our little guy started baseball tonight. He goes twice a week thru the end of July. He was so nervous in the car saying he didn't want to play because he would be the only 5 yr. old. (this team is for boys going into 1st grade) Most of the boys were 6 or 7 but I didn't tell Lij that:) 

He had SUCH a good time and was so polite and followed directions so well. 

We were so proud of him. 

 He was far from the best player out there 

but his respectfulness towards his coaches and teammates 

was worth more to me than a thousand home runs:)

His team is the Rockies and his shirt is twenty sizes too big. 

This is shaping up to be fun summer:)
