Take me out to the ballgame...

 It's spring, time for warmer weather, hot dogs on the grill and BASEBALL

We signed Sam up for t-ball this year.  Because of his age he is on a modified t-ball team even though this is his first year.  Modified means that the coach pitches you the first 4 pitches and if you do not hit it by then you get to bat off the t.  It has been challenging for Sam, but he is getting the hang of it, and hopefully by the end of the season he might actually like it ---  right now he says he doesn't because he has to learn too much :)
He has a hard time keeping his attention on the ball, but when he does he really has some good baseball skills!  I LOVE the way he stands at bat... perfect form!  and oh, he is just ADORABLE in his uniform!!

 at third, getting ready to bring it home
 catcher
 um, he has to wear something new... gotta protect the future, even if it is uncomfortable!
what a proud point earner!!!!  it is amazing how good it feels to make it to home plate!!

I am so proud of that cute little boy...  he is on a team
  •  with boys he has never seen before, 
  •  of a sport he knows nothing about,
  •  with shoes that feel funny when you run,
  •  and he is trying to figure it all out!
