Sweet Victory

Baseball season is hardcore in our home. Two boys each playing for teams that play about 55-65 games per season. The fun part is that both teams are winning a lot this year. There have been plenty of times when that wasn't so. But for now, we'll enjoy the victories and collect a few trophies and celebrate the fun. We try to make it a family affair and be all together as much as we can. This weekend Grayson was off, so we actually got to be all together. Sam's team, the Force, went undefeated and won the hardware. We have some great times at these games and have made some great friends. Even Abby enjoys the endless hours at baseball games because she has so many playmates. These pictures reflect a big part of our summer. Sweat, dirt, lots of laundry, swinging, throwing, sliding, snackbars, snocones, bubble gum and sunflower seeds. Pretty sure the boys are unaware of the growth and lessons being learned... teamwork, determination, leadership, sportsmanship, dealing with disappointment and discipline. And for now, we'll enjoy the excitement of hard work paying off and winning.
