Take Me Out to the Ball Game!!



I love this time of year! I always look forward to the weather getting warmer (or not) and the spring sports beginning. We have had three kids in sports this spring. It has been fun to watch the kids and see how they have improved. Avery has been playing her second year of soccer. She has improved quite a bit since last year. She does get distracted by the grass, the sky, the boys, and everything else around her. But once the ball rolls past her she takes off after it and often goes all the way to the goal.
Shina is playing her 5th year of soccer. She rocks! She is so determined and works really hard. She enjoys playing forward and goalie. She has enjoyed playing on an all girl team for the first time.
Isaac was one of the few boys in his grade to be drafted to the majors in baseball this year. It is his 8th year playing ball. It has been a growing experience as they take baseball in Utah a lot more seriously than they did in Oregon. Isaac didn't know much about stealing bases and sliding. He is learning so much and improves every game.
As much as I do love the spring sports, with three kids playing it gets pretty busy and I will look forward to the end of the season when we can have a break from it all.
