Baseball and Superman!

What a sweet picture of handsome boys!! First place at the Super NIT in Dallas, Texas!

Jayden at bat! Can see the pool and beach chairs (red).

Team mascot, Superman with super powers that came in handy!

The most beautiful stadium I have ever been in, and Jayden had the luxury of playing two ball games here!

The Legends black baseball team has won 2 tournaments in a row. Two of Jaydens games were in the above baseball stadium. It is an independent league stadium in Dallas, Texas, "Air Hogs Stadium". Absolutely beautiful and new, real grass the nice skinny grass that can be found up north and at golf courses! Big screen in center field and the red to the right of the screen is an outdoor swimming pool! To the right of the screen is a bar, Whiskey Jacks. In-between games the boys and families had lunch at the bar... very cool place!!

Happy Easter!

Easter Project, ripped out a hedge and made this! Did anyone know that we had a covered patio area?!

Jayden getting his stuff out of the dugout!

Legends Black getting their 3rd place trophy at the super NIT tourney.

Happy Easter to everyone! As you can see from the previous post we have been really busy with baseball. Easter weekend we literally had nothing to do so we undertook a major project in the front yard. I am kicking myself for not taking a before picture, oh well if you have been here before you know that there was a hedge so thick in front of the patio you couldn't even see that there was a patio! We tore out the hedge made the bed smaller and planted minimal work plants!

Busy baseball returns next week. Both boys have two games during the week and Jayden has a tourney over the weekend, hopefully I'll have some first place pics.

Both Boys Win Machine Pitch Tourney!

Jayden is the tall giant in the back row on the top pic, and the 3:00 position below.

Jayden's Orwall Reds team wins the machine pitch tournament on opening day at Orwall. Once again I didn't have my camera to document the occasion but a parent sent out these pictures in an email. Now I just hope that a parent sends out Casens Astros winning pictures so I can post them. It was a beautiful picture perfect weekend for opening day. Both boys had a blast hanging out with their friends all day eating and playing baseball! I hope to have the Astros winning picture soon!

Baseball & Flurries

Catching snowflakes the size of quarters! More snow!

Jayden at bat, looks as if it was a strike judging by the ump!

Jayden pitching

Jayden on the mound!

We have been very busy busy busy! This past weekend started out with two 7 on 7 football games. The Knights won one game and tied the other. After some rest Jayden played in a baseball tournament. He pitched his first six inning game of his life and got a win. He threw 102 pitches, I'm not sure what I think of throwing that many pitches but he had fun! They ended up getting third place, the team that beat them twice won the entire tourney. Today, Tuesday, we had flurries for the second time this winter. The first time was during the school day so I didn't get any pictures but today was after school. The flakes were HUGE, but the snow didn't stick to the ground. Casen loved catching them on his tongue but after twenty minutes of that he was freezing and came into warm up and change clothes cause he was soaked then went out again until it stopped, then came in and changed AGAIN!!!! What a fun day! Casen's baseball team, Astros, premiere this Saturday as the season begins.

The Bench

Knox bench during the tourney, before ankle injury of Darious.

Another pic, I think that its funny that there are more siblings on the bench than players!
