So last night Kaden had his last ball game of the season. He has wanted to pitch all season but due to his lack of experience the coaches have put him in the outfield or on third base or in the dugout for an inning. Last night they played a team that has not won very many games and Kaden asked on of his coaches can I please pitch. The coach made a deal with him, he told him if he hit a base run he would let him pitch. So Kaden got up to the plate and whacked the ball and got a double. So true to his word the coach let him pitch the next inning. He was so excited and kind of nervous. As were me and Kevin and the coaches I'm sure. Kaden got on the pitching mound and threw a strike, OK he's got one but they just kept coming, you could just see the coaches faces light up. He struck out the first two guys up to bat then the third guy swung once, strike then swung again got a hit, an easy pop fly to first base. He was caught out by the first baseman. That's three up three down, Kaden was the hero for the inning. His whole team ran out on the field and were jumping on him and slapping his butt, and cheering. Kaden, me, Kevin, and the coaches could not wipe the grins off our faces. They ended up winning 12 to 3. Their team was 8 and 1. Way to go Kado.
On another note Tanner and Kaden have been watching Kid Nation. They love it and want to be on it more than anything. So about a week ago I let them sign up, they had to fill out a 15 page questioner, and do a 3 minute video. So we will see if they get in. Tanner asks everyday when he gets home from school if we got the call. I told him not to get his hopes up.

Way to go Kayden! Thats so awsome I got chills when I was reading the story. I bet you as parents were so excited! Mik is 5 and I would get nervous when he played 1st base. He always did great though.
I think the boys would do great on kid nation. Your kids seem to be so outgoing, that is such a good quality for kids to have. Good for you.
Good job Kayden, that is very impressive. I can't believe I might actually know TV stars. If it happens I get the 1st autographs!
Good job Kayden. I bet they wish they would have played him sooner as pitcher. I have never seen kid nation but if they make it we might just have to get cable.
Wow! I don't know anything about boys. It sounds fun though. Sounds like you have some real athletes. YOu should be proud!
Are you the coolest mom ever! Kid Nation- that show is fun for kids.
I can't believe he has a pitching machine - scary!
I just had to get all caught up on your blogs since I have been gone. It sounds like Kayden was on cloud nine!! That is so great he did so good. I have never watched that show but , if your kids got on I might have to start!! How cool would that be!! I also love the shelve do you take orders???
Tado's you're amazing! I wish we could have been there to see it. I'm glad we at least got to see an action shot! I would love it if they got on kid nation so that I could see them every once in a while!
