Farewell Diamondback's

As school came to an end, so did our first T-ball season. This year a diamondback, next year, who knows? But I did certainly enjoy T-ball better than I did soccer and I think Andrew did too. Saturday marked our last game of the season and they really made it a good one for the boys. After the game on Saturday, the Diamondbacks headed over to the Sunrise Fun Center. The boys ( and one girl) had a great time! We all met in the Party Corral for some pizza, cake and distribution of Trophies!

The cake was oh so yummy!

The boys, waiting for their cool trophies!

Jocelyn did a great job telling a little about each player!

Daddy, getting his coach's plaque!

After being so patient, and having to chase a child down (or pull a coach from the batting cages)

It was finally time to go burn off all that sugar! Most of the kids were too small for the go carts, so the majority of them migrated to multiple bumper boats......

He wanted to keep going and going and going...

... the arcade, water balloon wars, batting cages, and the shortest game of miniature golf cheaters I have ever seen!

Grandpa would be proud!

Luke managed to even get in a little riding time.

Among other things....

What a ladies man!

By this time we had all been there a few hours! I think we all (including myself) were ready for a nap! I must give credit to mini man. For such a long day he did so good!

You thought the day was over, didn't you? =) Nope! We went home and rested for 2 hours, and then it was off to Cousin Dominic's 7th B-day!

Go Diamondback's !!!

What a day we had! Early and busy but fantastic! Today was opening day for RCLL. Everyone gathered as the birds were waking up, with donuts, chocolate milk/milk and coffee in hand, to kick off the season! With the kids filled with sugar ( thanks coaches ) they all took their places with banners in hand. Each team walked around the field as the team and their manager/coaches were announced.They were giggly, squirmy and with several parks close by, standing in the cold at 7:30 am was the last thing they wanted to do! None the less we all made it through... Well, almost all of us. I lost Luke right at the end. his patience wore thin of sitting in the stroller watching everything. Milk and snacks can only go so far.

Enjoying his milk!

While waiting, we even had some entertainment!

  

So far, I am liking T-ball much better than soccer. Perhaps it's the organization, the parent participation or simply the relationships I have formed with most these kids ( from working in Andrew's class ) And getting to know the parents. I am so excited as to what the season will bring!

We're a Diamondback

We finally got the call this past weekend from the team manager! Andrew will be playing on the Diamondback's.  He will be on a team with quite a few of his school buddies, which I am so excited about. We are super excited to get the season going. Daddy is going to be assistant coaching the team, which I am sure will be extremely fun for him seeing as he loves sports to no end. And what better way to coach but your son's team? We have our first meeting tomorrow evening, and most likely will have a first practice this weekend. I am sure we will find ourselves at a sports store this weekend getting some gear, which will include  some Diamondback hats for all of us. I'm even hoping I can find Luke a little one. I just hope they make one that small =).

Stay tuned for more Diamondback new.. We are just getting started!
