BASEBALL FEVER!!!

We have had the BEST time playing
Little League Baseball this year!!!
Walker was on the TEXAS RANGERS
sponsored by Raising Cane's!!!
We did not know the coach who picked Walker
up.  When he called to tell us, we were SO
thrilled to hear that Luke Reed was on our
team!!!!  Wahoooooooooooo!
We were soon to realize that we had
GREAT coaches and players
and families!!!  Even the practices
were fun...especially since the
coach had a ball field at his house!:)
This little Ranger wanted to play
some ball all.season.long!!!
March 26th was our first game.
I LOVED seeing this guy in his uniform...
Walker Texas Ranger!!!!!!!!!
Troy, as always, was an assistant
coach.  I love that he loves to
coach Walker's teams!!!:)
Get to bedazzling and blinging...
I am a BASEBALL MAMA!!!!!!!!
MY Triple......
Daddy and his Girl...
The boys on our team were just precious!
Walker made new friends...ones that I
know he will keep for a long time.
This was Kullen...we've enjoyed playing
with him outside of baseball, too.
He's a great kid!
I still can't believe we got so lucky to
be on the same team with the Reeds!
Best Buds!!!!!!!!!
2011 Texas Rangers
Raising Cane's invited the team for
a pre-game dinner before our first game...
All of the games are at Broughton Fields. 
I grew up going to my sister's games there
and then played there myself. 
This picture is PRICELESS to me...
so reminds me of my own Broughton days!;)
Being called out over the loud speaker
one by one and then taking the Baseball Pledge!
My #10 at bat for the first time........
HE HIT A TRIPLE!!!!!!!!!!!
It was SO awesome...especially for being SO
 nervous and for it being his first at-bat!!!!!:)))))
Cutest couple in the ball park....
#10's biggest fan....
I took Landry & Haddie to the concession stand
for candy.  They both got hot dogs!  ha! 
That's my girl:)))
The Rangers WON their first game!!!!
I was one proud Mama!:)
I thought #10 was the MVP!!!
He had to show me his batting
stance just one more time;)
We had 18 total games and Walker never
missed one or even a practice.  He really
fell in love with the sport!  Now, he's a
huge Ranger fan and loves to watch
them play.  We had so much fun all season!!!
He usually played second base or outfield.
He LOVED when the ball would come to him!
This little couple was just the CUTEST!!!
Melt.My.Heart!
Hudson spent the entire season
trying to work his way into the dug-out;)
I absolutely loved seeing my little man
up to bat!  It is SO nerve-ending...not
because I care if he gets a hit or not
(hey, he looks good and cute to me...
so that's all that matters!;))), but
because Walker puts SO MUCH
pressure on himself.  He and Troy
spent many evenings going up to
the batting cages for extra
practice.  Walker wanted to do well...
every time!!!  We really had to
teach him that it's okay to strike out
and that EVERYONE does!!!
God love him for his competitive nature
and his passion for the things he loves!
Such a great swing!!!
He had a FABULOUS season and I have
lots more to share...including his 
SIX homeruns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grandmother couldn't miss out on seeing
her grandson play at Broughton Field!
She spent many a day there;)
Little Man just wanted to feel included;)
AND get in that DUG-OUT!!!
Look, Mom, I made it!;)))

I love reading about your family and everything you are doing with them. We did the same things with our boys! Billy really loved baseball. He started with t-ball and played all the way through this his senior year in high school. He still loves baseball, to this day!

You are making great memories with your family, Mindy...memories you will hold in your heart for many, many years!

Hugs...
