Baseball season is in full *swing*...but I keep forgetting to take pictures! Here are a couple from Tyler's game a couple weeks ago against the North Texas Fury:
This is when being almost 5'10" comes in handy...to stop that occasional wild pitch!
Saturday got off to a cold start, I don't think I warmed up until about 3 pm...but we spent all day in Celina at the ballpark. It was a scrimmage, and the kids played hard...they really pushed themselves to come back and win the last game! Parker got 2 triples!
Way to go!He also hurt his knees during this play, the throw was short...the kid got there before the ball even got a chance...but P did his best to block the plate.
And the brothers and sistas had some fun, too!


And today is like the laundry hangover day...



They USED to be white...this is why I prefer gray pants!!

When my boys played, they ALWAYS got the white pants. Perhaps they knew that I loved to use my Shout spray bottle. Eventually bleach did come in handy.

One thing I miss about playing baseball is sitting outside with my family. The games are too long, but it was fun getting out.

Those kind of look like our football pants. It is kind of hopeless...

Love, the full *swing* hee, hee, hee..

I like the picture of all the kids jumping off the bench. I have a feeling in a few years I will be seeing pants like that too.

Oh, I miss baseball! But not the laundry, hee, hee. It all looks like sooooooo much fun. :)

So fun! Our son just started Tball this year. I convinced Kevin (who is the coach) to choose the gray pants for that reason! Hope all is well with you guys. Looks like everyone is growing up so fast! Crazy how that happens.

Those pants are proof of a real athlete! Just curious, what flavor did you use to wash those things?? LOL

"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
