Baseball in Full Force

The season has started and it has officially taken over our lives... But, the boys LOVE it, so it is worth it. Maxie is in T-ball and we just can't tell if he likes it. Maybe the pictures paint a picture...

Max has been very patient lately. He gets to see Mase and the other big boys play on the pitcher machine and all he wants to do is play with them. At least he gets to hit from coach pitch.

Mason took the step to the pitcher machine league this year. While the first time at bat was intimidating he has caught on so fast and his numbers are very impressive for his first year.

Matt was asked to be the first base coach for the year, and I really can't tell who is more excited for the games, Matt or Mase. This baseball stuff is serious and the coaches don't mess around. Justin and Skee are the best coaches and Mason really looks up to them. Mason has really taken a serious interest and tries so hard to improve each game and understand the rules more and more.

Notice the wrist/sweat band on Mason's arm. The wrist band means you are the team captain for the game. He got a kick out of leading the team chant and being in charge.

With Matt coaching on base, we don't have as many pictures as usual, but thanks to Rob for taking a couple for us :)
