Baseball

So...did you miss me? I hadn't intended to take a 3 week break, but I guess I just got too involved in my summer to take time out to blog. But I'm back now.

The IMS baseball team lost in districts, so we have no more baseball games to go to. In spite of the work it takes to go to the games with 2 kids in tow (and all the paraphernalia that goes along with) we were very disappointed that the season came to such an abrupt end.

In honor of the team, here are some pictures from one of the games.











Can't wait until next season...

An evening at the baseball field

All summer long Jesse has wanted to "ride" on the tractor mower that they use on the baseball field. I finally arrived at a baseball game early enough to get a good spot that was right by the tractor...and the concession stand. That kept the kids occupied for...oh...at least 2 or 3 innings!

Beating the Heat

How do you beat the heat at a really, really hot ballgame?

(88 degrees with a gazillion percent humidity.)


Why, you bring your own spray bottle with water!

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

So it seems like our lives are filled with ballgames...

and ballgames...

and more ballgames.


Meredith is having a blast in T-ball this year. Her fielding skills are improving every game, and surprisingly she is a pretty good batter. Especially when she brings her own bat. Not sure if it's the actual bat that makes the difference or the confidence that it gives her when she uses it. Whatever it is though, it's working.


(If you ever talk to Mer about t-ball, ask her to give you her ballgame face. The expression is supposed to strike fear in the hearts of the opposing team when Meredith is up to bat...too bad it's her own coach that pitches to her and gets the full benefit of the face!)
