Traded to the Phillies;)

For the fall we told Walker he could choose

between fall baseball or flag football.

We could have given him the choice

of tackle football, but sistah puh-leeeeze!

He said flag football would be taking

a step backwards since several of his

friends were moving onto tackle;)

We were THRILLED with his choice

of FALL BALL after our fun season

on the Texas Rangers!!!

We were even more excited when we got the call

that Coach Miller had picked him up again!!!

The only drawback was that we were no longer

the Rangers...but rather the Phillies.

We actually were relieved since it wasn't

the Yankees...BUT Walker still cried

when we told him that we would have to be

 the Phillies!!!  Literally put his head in

his pillow and CRIED. 
That boy has some passion!;)

I about fell over though when he and his bud

Kullen both showed up at the first

practice in their full Ranger uniforms!!!

Not giving up easily:)))

Grayson, Kullen and Walker...

excited to be back together for another season of baseball!

They are all crazy over Hudson...

it's like he's the team mascot;)

One night after practice we hung out and visited

with the Millers.  Hudson was SO excited

to be out on the field with the big boys............

So they started running the bases with him!!!

I took these with my iPhone and it was getting

dark, but oh my Goodness...

that kid was having a BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ready for the first game on September 20th...

I think he makes such a cute Phillie;)

This is basically how Hudson

hangs around at the games;)

We won our first game 8 to 2! 

Walker had two awesome hits........

love seeing him out there on the field:)

He is mostly playing second...

but sometimes third and/or outfield.

When Hudson isn't trying to sneak into

the dug out or steal baseballs from

the bucket IN the dug-out,

then he is eating Starburst

or M&M's and flirting with his

new girlfriend;)

The Phillies have a REALLy HOT

assistant coach.  I usually invite

him home with us;)))

Troy was so proud one night when

another coach said,

"You've raised yourself a hitter!"
I think that is music to a daddy's ears;)))

We won our second game, too...

Walker had an AWESOME triple that game.

I think he could have gone on home!  ha!

Team mascot;)

I don't get as nervous for him this year...

maybe because it's fall ball or maybe

he's just more comfortable at the plate.

I love watching him play baseball

because he loves it so much!

Nice swing, buddy!!!

Both Hudson AND Hadlee
have fun at the games! :)

See what I mean about the little stink;)

Little sisters and little brothers!!!

Will's sister, Olivia;  Kullen's brother, Kannon;

Grayson's brother, Grant

Our turn for snacks...we went healthy;)

Did I happen to mention how cute

I think Walker is batting?!?

A triple:)

Here is Hudson's adorable new girlfriend...

her name is Haleigh (Colton's little sister).

She and Hudson are both messes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hudson is constantly sticking his arm

through that fence to try to get a baseball;)

Like Walker, it wasn't easy for Garrett,

but he is cheering the Phillies on!!!  ha!

I always know where to look for Hudson.

This is in the middle of the game and look

at the boys giving him attention!!!

It has been really fun to be together with

some of the same teammates, but we are

missing some important ones;(

Thankfully, we have also made new friends!!!

Coach Miller and Coach Pierce

are great coaches!!!

Grandmother loving #4 on the Phillies:)

This is a precious picture...

Cannon and Cade Carr are brothers.

Cannon is in Hadlee's kindergarten class

and Cade is in Walker's third grade class!

We are LOVING getting
 to know the Carrs better:)

Add in Hudson AND Kyle
(another friend from school)

Buddies in the third grade at South Bosque:)))

This is pretty typical after a game. 

Literally that night Walker also asked me to

carry his bat bag.  I'm not joking!!!

Haleigh & Hudson

Walker even got to pitch one game!!!

He did GREAT:)

No matter what...

he will ALWAYS be mommy's stud muffin!

Look at my baby pitch!!!

Nine years old...

That's Jonah playing first base

and Walker on first:)

Coach Miller asked after this game for the

boys to raise their hand if they got a

good hit!  I love how they ALL raised their hands;)

We celebrated Coach Miller's birthday that

night with cupcakes and singing to him...

I love me some baseball season!

I love me EVEN MORE some

Coach Pierce and some Walker Pierce :)
