The ball field has been our lives for the past 3 months, but I have been slow on doing a post about it! Isabelle and Brenden are both playing. This is Isabelle's second year in tee ball, and Brenden just moved up to kid pitch. We spend most of our nights and Saturdays at the fields, but it is fun to see the kids doing something they love. In tee ball the kids have 5 chances to hit off a coach pitching to them, and if they don't hit then they have to use the tee to hit. Isabelle will proudly tell you that she has only had to use the tee once this season! :) Brenden was picked to be one of the pitchers this year. At first I wasn't sure I was happy about it, but he has ended up being one of the better pitchers on the team. Brenden is a lot of fun to watch play ball, it reminds me of when we used to go watch my brother play. Brenden has had some great diving catches, and has done a good job pitching. He struggled at first with hitting off a kid pitching, mostly because he was scared they were going to hit him with the ball!!! LOL I told him I would pitch to him for practice and he would get used to getting hit with the ball. He has overcome his fear now and is back to being a good hitter, and he is loving the fact that they can steel bases this year.
Here is Isabelle suited up to play catcher. I love it when she plays catcher, the equipment is bigger than her!! :)

Here is Isaac watching one of the games. I think he thinks this is his second home. I am soo glad he hasn't started crawling yet, it makes ballgames much easier.
Isaac and I go and cause problems in the dugout every once in awhile. The girls love to hold him. Isabelle plays basketball and soccer with a lot of the same kids, so they have known Isaac since he was born.
Here's Brenden getting ready to pitch! His team is the Florida Marlins. Each year the kids get to be a major league baseball team. Last year Brenden was the Yankees and it about killed us to wear Yankee colors.
I didn't have many pictures of Brenden so I decided to put in another pitching picture!
Here's Isabelle getting ready to bat, and yes she has a pink batting helmet and a pink glove, thanks to her Nanny. Her dad wasn't going to invest in pink stuff!! LOL

Oh my word your kids are the cutest things ever. Some of my greatest memories growing up were playing softball!!!! How fun!!!! I love the picture of Isabelle with the catcher's gear...her right leg is totally twisted and she is lost in the gear....so cute. I would love to come and see them play sometime. Let me know when one of their games are...soccer, softball, basketball... whatever... I will come help you cheer them on!!!
P.S. I like the pink..... :)
they all look so cute in their uniforms! love it!
She looks too little to play ball! Love the picture of her with her pink helmet. She reminds me of how much fun we had when we were younger!
Little athlete Summer's kids! I was just thinking the other day, while watching Marik consistently hit a ball that was pitched to him, that it must have been Gene's influence, because we haven't done a thing with him! Thank goodness we are friends!
Love the pictures. Be so thankful Isaac isn't crawling. It sucked out here with Dylan only walking. But we only have dirt (dust) that surrounds our ball diamonds. Sooooo dirty! The kids looks awesome in their giddy-up! Cannot wait to see them!
