T-ball Fun

Corey and I volunteered to be T-ball coaches this year for Zach's league. I was secretly hoping they'd waive his fees if we volunteered, but that didn't happen. :) At least we all got matching Pirates shirts and caps. (I am really regretting not getting in the drawing for the Rangers team. They said everyone requested that team, but I would rather have Rangers shirts than Pirates. Argh!) 

There were 7 kids on the team, including Zach's best friend, Cruise. They are two peas in a pod. We were excited to have them play together. The coaching was actually pretty easy, because at this age, the other coaches don't hold practices, so neither did we, with one or two exceptions. The kids were hilarious to watch. I had to work every other Saturday, so missed half of the season, but Corey told me the first game that each child cried at one point for one reason or another--not catching the ball, etc. Haha!! The girl pictured in this first picture caught the majority of the balls this season--the boys couldn't keep up with her! Anyway, it was a fun season. Zach improved a lot, and we look forward to having him involved in a few sports as he grows up.

                     He was absolutely enthralled by his trophy!

With his friend, Cruise. Um, I don't think two players on the same team should be on the same base!! Cruise also is responsible for instigating a dog-pile every time the other team hit the ball. He would jump on whoever was the first to get the ball, and the entire team would follow suit!

      My cutie-cute little baller!! I adore this handsome hunk!
