Let the games begain

Winterville has the greatest thing since sliced bread according to Tanner and Kaden. Can you guess what it is? Not only do they have a great baseball program in the spring they also have it in the fall, otherwise known as Fall Ball. They have a whole season of baseball, uniforms and all. Not as many kids play in the fall, so we have to travel to other towns, which is fun but also a pain when you don't get home until 10:00 on a school night, and they still need showers. With two boys that are obsessed with baseball what could be better. We have games 4 days a week, plus a two hour practice or two for each boy.


Tanner is on the A's (aka the Athletics) . He got to move up with the 11 and 12 year olds. This age group has the same rules as the 9-10 year olds, but the kids are just a lot bigger. A lot of the parents joke about checking the kids drivers licences, to make sure they are the age they say they are, they are huge, it is either steroids or just a lot of fried chicken and collards:) The older the kids get the better they get, and the kids that are a little athletically challenged kind of stop playing. It is amazing how talented these kids are, Tanner plays it all still, mostly catcher, which he does not like. He also plays pitcher, third, short, and first. Isn't he so dang cute.

This is Tanner playing catcher.
This is him up to bat, he was up 3 times last night. He got three hits.


Kaden is on the good old Yankees. His second time, so no new hat to add to his collection. Kaden also moved up a division. He is playing Kid Pitch with the 9-10 year olds. This is very different than machine pitch, a lot more rules. He is doing very well with it. He is playing with Tanners old teammates, and coaches. We love his coaches. Kaden is one of the younger players so that means he gets outfield a lot, they have put him on second and third and he does very well.

Kaden got to hit 3 times and got 2 hits, it is very intimidating having a kid through a ball at you when you are use to a machine doing it.


Kaden waiting to run home. That is Coach Jeff, he is awesome
