Baseball

Its official! Baseball has started. 

Did I mention that Mac and Kate are playing this year?
Oh, yes.  You heard me right. 
We spend all night on Monday and Thursday at the ball field. 
It makes the nights long, but they are so much fun.
We have some great "ball" friends that we only see during baseball season so we love it when the season is in and we get to visit.
Several of the younger siblings of Mac's baseball friends are starting T-ball this year with Kate and it is so much fun because Kate and the other kids have been coming to the ball field to watch there sisters and brothers since they were all just babies. 
And now they are playing themselves!
Trip and I were talking the other night and remembering when Kate and the other kids were crawling around in the dirt like Ben and now they are the ones playing ball!  Time flies.

Please take notice of Kate's pink and purple glove.  A very important accessory
Also notice the pink stripes on the cleats. . .another very important accessory!
And the final accessory is the orange bows.  What girl T-ball player would be complete without her bows?

There are only two other girls on Kate's T-ball team.
Lillie and Kristen.  The girls stick pretty close to each other.
However, Kate does know most all the boys and is pretty quick to convince them to get a ball that goes too far in the outfield for her liking!

Mr. Mac is playing coaches pitch this year!  Pretty exciting.

The most exciting news though is that he is playing catcher!
He really wanted to play this position and he got it!  Go Mac.
He is doing great in this position.  He has also really worked on his swing and is hitting some of those balls far into outfield.
And, yes.  That is Trip.  A.k.a  Coach Trip.

Ben and I are at all the games too of coarse. 
Cheering everyone on. 
This picture was taken way, way early in the game. 
In fact I am not too sure the game had even started! 
He does not spend too much time here in the stroller. 
Much more of his time is spent on the ground or trying to get on the ground. 
This boy loves the dirt. 
Before I blink he will be the one starting T-ball.  {No blinking-anyone!}

GO COLTS!
