Baseball 2010

It's no surprise that Nicholas absolutely loves sports of any kind. I love this about him. He has such a passion for whatever sport he is playing and he is only 5. He is always practicing and wanting to get better. He never gives up. We just recently finished his last year of t-ball. He loved it and we had a great team this year. They were all friends and loved playing ball with each other. Right after his last game he said, "Mom what am I playing next?" I told him we needed a break from sports for a couple months. Here are a few pictures from this last season

Look at that form-- MLB might be in his future. White Sox or Dodgers?

Nicholas was always ready for the ball. His favorite positions were catcher, 1st base, and pitcher. One game Nicholas played 3rd and not many balls were getting hit to 3rd. He was getting a little antsy and decided that every time someone hit the ball he would just run all the way over to 1st so he can get the ball. I love this picture because it really shows you how antsy he was for the ball. Right after I took this picture he ran over to the pitcher mound and grab the ball himself so he could get some boys out at home.

Another fun thing about this season is that Luke was able to coach his team. Luke loved(most days) it and Nicholas loved having his dad there. And I loved taking care of 3 little kids by myself :) Nicholas had fun going through the line up and who was what position with Luke the night before. Luke did a great job and had a lot of patience with 13 4,5, &6 year olds.
Love this picture of my boys

The whole team at our party. They loved getting their trophies and medals.
