Peanuts and Cracker Jacks

What better way to celebrate my birthday weekend, than with Opening Ceremonies for baseball on the 16th.  This year Brody moved up to Coach Pitch and is on the Braves.  Jason is Assistant Coach with Keith as Head Coach.  We have a lot of the same kids from the last 2 years and we are hoping for a great year (no tears)!

Off we went to Opening Ceremonies which in the past has not been too great.  Thank goodness this year was pretty good and the speaker was short and sweet!!  We were out of there in about an hour and back to the house to rest for a little while before our 3:00 game.

Brody was so excited when it came game time and he is so cute in his Braves uniform.  

 Having a little fun with the camera.

Time for brother

Getting ready for their game - bring on the eye black.

Team Braves all ready for a funfilled season of baseball.

 He played short stop for the first game and actually paid attention pretty well.  Since he has moved up this year to coach pitch, they actually have 3 outs so it makes the innings go a little faster and the kids don't "dream" too much while in the outfield.

Since Jason is assistant coach, he took his turn at pitching for this game.  We make this a family affair because I am dug out mom and keep 10 boys all in order while in the dugout.

So proud of Brody because his first time at bat, he hit it great and got to first.

Getting ready to run home from 3rd.

 So after the game, Coach Keith told them all to do pushups - which they all thought was funny.  Here comes Brody all done and ready for his snack.

We are off and ready for another baseball season.  I am hoping for a season with no tears!!
