For the Love of Baseball

My Little Warrior!!! What a great baseball season you had! You really came around when it came to batting. By the end of the season you were hitting quite a few balls to the outfield that led to a lot of homeruns and triples. I am so proud of you! Here are a few actions shots of you.

Baseball season begins with a blast!

The future of baseball!

Well, baseball season is well under way. You are playing your first season of coach pitch. It has been so exciting! I am so proud of how well you hit the ball. When I say it started with a blast...unfortunately it was to your mouth! You got hit dead on by a ball you had no time to react to. The result was a busted lip, blood everywhere, and two loose teeth. You were a real trooper though! You played the entire game and never gave up. You actually ended the game at catcher where you made the game saving out. You saw a kid running to home to win the game and you yelled for Howie to throw you the ball. He did and you caught it, blocked the plate, and tagged the kid for the out. The stands went crazy yelling for you! Needless to say, I was one proud mama!!! Especially since you guys beat the coach from your old team. It was awesome. I am looking forward to the rest of your games. They are always so exciting. Keep up the good work! I love you more, I love you the whole Universe and back!

Your poor mouth!

Your poor teeth. The one fell out!

Basketball Season Comes to an End

Well, we have another great year of basketball under our belts. You were amazing this year! I am so proud of how well you did this season. The defense you played was unbelievable. You were grouped with 1st and 2nd graders this year so some of the kids were 2 years older than you. It didn't matter that some of them were much taller than you. You played without fear and stole the ball from them several times. I beamed with pride as you swiped the ball and raced it back down court to shoot a basket. You are one amazing little boy that makes my heart smile every day. Dad and I are so lucky to have you as part of our family. Continue to do your best, and I know you will go far.

I love you! -Mom

Basketball Weekend

What a great weekend you had on the basketball court! You did an incredible job. You manged to steal the ball several times and dribble down court for some shots. You had a couple from long range. I was so proud of you! Makenna and Papoo were there to cheer you on with me while dad coached. I also heard that you had a good baseball practice after that. Dad said you had some nice hits and even hit one quite far to the outfield. That is amazing since this is your first year to play coach pitch. I am so proud of you. Keep up the good work.

Getting a big congrats from your coach after a nice defensive steal!

Love you!

Mom

My Little All Star!

Where do I start with you? You are the most amazing little boy. You bring a smile to my face each and every day. People call you Grinning Griffey because you are always smiling. :) You have the most competitive spirit about you. You strive to be the best at everything you do. At 6 years old you have accomplished quite a bit! You are the top reader in your class, played football for the first time and made the All Star team, are playing basketball, and you are about to start 6 U Coach Pitch for baseball. I love to watch all of your games. I am so proud of you! Your big brother and big sister are your biggest cheerleaders. You are lucky that dad is the assistant coach for almost all of your sports. I know you love having him out there. Continue to give it your all...on and off the field, and always flash me that winning smile! I love you Grinning Griff!!!
