Baseball boys

We are in the middle of another busy baseball season. Both Grant and Jadon are playing and loving every minute of it. Grant is doing coach pitch this year. He has a bunch of good friends on his team that were also on his basketball and soccer teams. Always fun to see them.

Grant uses all that energy he has and just goes out there and has a great time. His t-shirt comes down to his knees but he doesn't care. He LOVES to be up at bat. He waits as patiently as he can and then gets up there and with a very serious face gets ready to swing!:-)

He, as we all know and love, is a friendly little man. His team was up against his friends Alex's team on Saturday. As Alex was waiting on second base Grant decided to chat with him a bit. I should have got it on video...even though you could not hear a word...you should have seen the arms move. To funny!!


Jadon is with the same team in kid pitch this year. It is great to see how the returning kids have grown and improved their skills! Jadon struggled last year to get on base when up to bat and usually ended up in outfield looking board.

This year is a different story. He is either the third baseman or in outfield which he seems to like.

When he was in left field he caught a pop fly, getting a batter out. He is a solid base hitter and just last night hit his VERY FIRST HOME RUN earning him his second game ball for the season and great big hugs from his friends and family!!

Good job boys!!
Congrats on the home run Jadon!
Grant, I can see you talking a mile a minute to your friend on base. It makes me smile. Never change kiddo. We love you both. Keep up the good work!
