Yep folks...We survived another baseball season!

I'm really not sure how we did it, but we survived another season of baseball.  It is really hard to have 2 boys playing ball at the same time. Having games 4 nights out of the week about killed us off!  I can't imagine what we will do when Ledger starts baseball too! Case finished his season last week and had his party tonight, which I was in charge of but unable to attend due to swimming championships.  Brody finished his season last night and had his party at the park right after.  It was tons of fun and I am so relieved that it is over.  Both boys made great progress from the beginning of the year until now. They had awesome coaches who really worked with them and encouraged them to do their best.  It was a great season for both Brody and Case!
 The Express 2010 Coach Pitch Team
Eliza B. Brody, Troy B., Jackson, Tyson L., Tate L, Kailey A.,
 Ryan C., Drew S., Drew H., and Cal S.
(Not pictured, The coaches son Cole C. who broke his arm before the first game!)
Eliza's Mom was in charge of snacks after the last game and she brought an ice chest filled with water guns and extra water for the kids to shoot each other with.  Boy did they think that was fun...especially since they soaked Coach Kent!
The party at the park was a huge success.  We grilled burgers and hot dogs and everyone brought something to go with it.  The kids played and soaked each other more!  I made picture books for all the kids on both teams again this year and I think they really liked them.  Jim got great shots of the kids hitting, catching and running.  I hope they will treasure them as they get older.  They have made such great friends and memories this year and last!

Baseball Season Is In Full Swing!


We are crazy right now with baseball!  We have Case in T-Ball and Brody in his second year of Coach Pitch. Brody has games on Monday and Wednesday nights while Case's games are Tuesday and Thursday nights.   Yesterday as Jeremy and I were driving to Case's game, we looked at each other and said, "This has been a long season already!"  Then we remembered this was only Case's first game of the season!  I swear we have been practicing FOREVER!!  I hope I can make it through the next 5 weeks.  The hardest part is that the games are at 5:30,  right during dinner, homework, bath time, etc. etc., etc.  It makes for a looong night!!  Anyhow, both boys are doing great and having fun playing and having a drink and snack after the game
 (I actually think that is their favorite part!!)  I am having fun watching them both on the baseball field!  Can't wait till Ledger starts his baseball season!

The league started the season with an opening ceremonies last Saturday.  The boys had their individual and team pictures taken that day.  It was funny watching Case being told how to hold the bat and stand.  He thought the whole thing was a bit ridiculous (as you can see!!)

Our cheerleader Miss B. says, "Go Express!"  "Go Hooks!"

Three Boys and A Ho!

Today we took the boys to the Cubs spring training game at HoHo Kam Stadium.  The weather was cold but nice...I loved it!!  The boys ate their way through 7 innings and enjoyed watching the players from 1st base. Can't wait to go back!
These boys were ready for some baseball!
Jeremy is a Ho Ho which means he parks cars at the spring training games. He also gets to wear a super cool outfit.  It's all volunteer work and a fun way to meet new people.  My Grandpa was a Ho, My Dad was a Ho, Jeremy's Grandpa was a Ho and his Dad is a Ho.  It runs in the family!
Case is a dad's guy.  He loves spending time with Jeremy!
PaPa and the boys.  Thanks for the awesome tickets PaPa!!
