Blessed by Two: Swing, batter batter!

Paxton just finished up two months of tball he did great! It was our first go at any type of league/team sports. We decided to start off light and go with a local church league. All the boys or girls were in pre-k or kindergarten but Paxton was amongst the youngest because of his late summer birthday. The season started off cool but it warmed up quickly! We were sweating through the last few games and practices.

Paxton's team name was the Mariners, after getting changed three times, it was hard for all of us to keep up with the name of his team! All the kids did a great job fielding and hitting off the t and most hit by pitch the last few games, including Paxton. Luckily, it was way low pressure and most of the dads stood out on the field with their boys, no outs or anything like that. It took a few games but Paxton finally got the hang of running the bases and throwing the ball to first base after a hit. Of course, we had our moments of "picking daisies in the outfield" which were more like digging for bugs, and we had our moments of learning that we can't get the ball every time. Overall it was good learning experience for Paxton and I think he enjoyed it. Don't think we will be headed back in the fall because of school starting. We want to give this kid a chance to get adjusted to going to school all day (boohoo!) The season ended with a cookout at the church and certificates for all the kids.

Oh and by the way, do you love my new photography talent? Ok, I am not really that talented but having a new camera sure does help! Josh surprised me with a new Nikon D60 for our anniversary. I must admit, that we stole the camera idea from my friend and fellow blogger, Emily. We were so impressed with her beautiful shots that we had to get one too, well that and our other camera was over 5 years old!!

Miss Priss thought that she needed a snack for every game. She was actually quite patient with the whole tball game, of course it helped that grandmama and grandaddy were there most of the time to entertain!
