Being in the middle of 2 baseball and 1 softball seasons we live, breath, and eat baseball and softball right now. Simeon's been teaching Ammon the finer points of pitching and he's getting good and fast. Rebecca wanted to try her bat at his pitching, so a small game started with the kids. Then Johann and I joined in and the game went from quiet and friendly to loud and a bit more competitive. Add in a camera in many different hands and the pictures afterwards show a fun, loud (sorry neighbors trying to enjoy a quiet Sunday afternoon), laughter filled, energized game of backyard wiffle-ball sand lot baseball.
Rebecca getting some batting tips from Simeon. Sadly this is the only picture with him in it and you can't even see his whole face.
ATTACK MOM!!!
This bat I got a Home Run into the neighbors yard. Wahoo!!!
Dad got a home run and an automatic out because he hit the ball into the "dog yard". The kids call the neighbors yard one house over and behind us the "dog yard" because they have a dog that barks and barks and nobody will go get the balls hit into that backyard. The owners say it's a really nice dog, but so far no one wants to go find out! We've lost a dozen balls or more to the "dog yard" since we've lived here.
Ammon the catcher. For some reason I really like this picture even if you can't see his head.
Ammon waiting for the pitch.
Corrine playing catcher days before we learned that her sore foot was multiple stress fractures and what appears to be an infection in her big toe and he was stuck in a boot.
Ammon our amazingly strong monkey swinging on the swing set in front of the massive wall of hedges the neighbors haven't cut in years.
Days like this make me want to bottle this time, put it on the shelf and keep it from aging to make it last longer.
We have so much fun as a family. Nobody's too old, too young, or too cool to play together.
Families are AWESOME!!
