T-ball Jamboree

Today the boys started something Thomas has been dreaming about for ages...they played their first t-ball game! The 2009 baseball season started at Woodlawn Park today. The boys are on the 4 year old Cardinals team.

We had to be at the park at 8:40 to get ready for pictures. As I was dressing the boys this morning I couldn't believe how big a pair of XS pants could be, scrambling for belts I just couldn't understand how Tyler's pants could be so much bigger than Tanner's. They wear the same size! That's when I looked at the tag and realized somebody had stuck a pair of S pants into the XS box! Trip to Wal-mart for Thomas the boys still have pants that are to big, but we are ready!

Being a part of the Cardinals team means WHITE pants for the boys!!! Do you know how hard it is to keep two 4 year old boys with white pants clean?! Its not easy, but we managed and took some cute pictures.

After taking pictures, we are just about ready to play our first game. April 18, 2009, first game is against the Pirates. The Pirates batted first and our team the Cardinals was in the field. Tanner was positioned between 1st and 2nd and Tyler between 2nd and 3rd. Tanner chased after many balls and on one fell down right before he got to it. 4 year old t-ball games are fun to watch, because the players don't really know how to play the game and on Jamboree day we only play through the batting order once, so after the Pirates batted it was our turn.

Tanner batted third and swung once and missed, but then he swung again and connected!

Tyler came up after Tanner and swung and connected with the ball and the tee and ran to 1st.

It was cute to watch the boys playing and as they get older they will get better. With this in mind, I am going to take a moment to remember what happened today and how cute they were for their first game of t-ball!
