Every Bit of Baseball

It never gets old watching my
favorite ball player at bat!!!
This year he is #1 in the line-up
which is SO cool but yet makes his mama
nervous!!!  His hitting often seemed to set the
tone of the game ~ how well he hit, whether he
hit, etc.  Plus, I could never be late at
all to his games or I could miss him hitting!  ha ha!
On base & ready to steal!!!
Ballpark BABES :)
What would we ever, EVER do
without Grandmother?!?
Coach Miller, Coach Pierce
& Walkman checking out the pitcher...
A little talk from Coach DAD
never seems to hurt ;)
I am so proud of these two
and their commitment to baseball!
I love it!
That talk brought on a DOUBLE:)
AND then a sweet steal at third!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at that little fan calling out to his Bubba!
If he can't get Bubba's attention OR
get onto the field, he'll just go to
his other passion...........
Janitor Hudson!!!
WAHOOOO!!!  This was one of
only a few great wins for the Phillies!
Grandmother is quite the fan!!!
Way to Go, Phillies
Walker at Bat with one of his Best Buds
at catcher...Brayden Marking
Walker's best position is probably 2nd base (and
his favorite) but this year he has played a lot of
3rd base (because he can get the ball to 1st from
there), and even some at 1st base and a lot
in the outfield when we are playing big hitting
teams because Walker is awesome at catching
fly balls AND he's quick. BUT he has been
working a little bit with a professional coach
on learning to PITCH!!!!!!
He concentrates so hard and takes
this game SO seriously!!!
A talk from his catcher...Kullen!!!
(I think they've seen this on Ranger games!  ha!)
Walker & Matthew
Walker & Brayden
Another Saturday.
Another Game.
Another talk with Coach Dad;)
But this time it was a TRIPLE!
An awesome triple...
and I think the 3rd base coach
should have sent him on home.
(I had a talk with that coach...my husband!).
Ball Park Beauty ;)
Leading the crowd in a cheer?!?

After that game and a fun team lunch out,
 we loaded up these four boys
+ our little boy + our sweet girl
in my car and all went to a Midway Varsity Game!
Parker Walker Grayson Kullen
...and one very sweet & precious little girl!!!
It was little league day and the boys
got to go in the high school practice
gym and throw timed pitches!!!
Walker wanted to do this all day long!
It's so funny how popular Hudson is!
All the boys wanted to give him a turn!!!
High Fives for Huds!
Precious Pie was the Perfect Cheerleader!!!
And the boys gave her a turn, too!!!
Then it was on to the wuffle ball station...
you won a shirt if you hit a homerun!
Walker was first to win a shirt :)
Then it came down to about five boys
trying to win the last two shirts...
Hudson thought he was playing,
but he really wasn't!  ;)
Two of our guys won the last two shirts
and when the guy in charge reached in
for the shirts, there was one extra!!!  WAHOOOO!
FOUR happy Phillies!
(and one relieved mama!)
It was a great day & game!
Looks like fun to have an older brother!  ;)
I don't know what to think about Hadlee
and her older brothers' friends though!!!  ;(
When we first arrived at the game
there was a place for the boys to put their
names in for a drawing for a Ranger game.
Sweet Hadlee looked up and asked if
she could put her name down, too?!?
The announcer called out the winner
half way through the game.
GUESS WHO WON the tickets?!?
Miss Hadlee Pierce!!!!!!!!!
She was so excited and the boys
were dying that she had won!  ;)
Four tickets for a June 27th game
against the Tigers.  Mommy & Daddy
were pumped, too!!!  ;)
Baseball Buds!
We are loving every bit of baseball these
days...MOSTLY Walker's games, but
also Midway and the Rangers and other
friends' games.  I am a blinged out baseball
mama and SO happy to be!!!  :)

I love you, #10!!!
