Baseball

The Oriole's, B's team, is doing awesome!  They continue to win every game.  B was super excited this paste weekend, he had extra spectators, the Morelli's!

 First time up at bat, and he hit it!

Coach cheering him on.

 He got to second.

Waiting to go to third.

 And he is off to third base where one of his old buddies is, from the other team.

 Warming up again.

 Solid hit!

 Coach high fives B for his good hit!

C gets love from Connor and Caroline. She loves them!!

 They all had such a great time.

 Cheering B on!!

 Game done, they won, and now snack time!!

The Orioles

Braden started playing baseball this spring.  He was selected to play on the American league, which is the select league.  He is having a lot of fun.  I did not get pictures of the first game because it was so cold, it was snowing.  The poor boys were frozen.

B warming up before the game.

 B playing the outfield.

 Warming up.  He hit every time he was up.  The first time the first base boy tagged him out.  This is him going up his second time.

 He swings and he hits!!

 Going to second base.

 Running to third.

 Scoring!!!

 I am forcing him to do this.

 Going up for his third time at bat and hitting!

 Getting to second on his hit.

 So B was confused.  They called the game because his team was up 12 - 6, the other team could not catch up because they are only allowed to score 5 per inning.  He wanted to finish!

They won!!! 

Braden's first playoff game

Braden had his first playoff game today.  He played awesome.  He has been playing center and taking all the face offs.

 The first drop of the puck.

 The score after the first period.

 The pep talk for the second period.  B is number 10, his shirt is tucked in.

 Another face off.

The score after the second period, they are home, still up. 

 Found Caitlin in the stadium, reading.  

 The hand shake at the end of the game.  Guess what team won?

 My hockey man!!  Love him!

 Yep, the grey team, B's team!  They will play in the finals next Saturday!!

First Reconciliation and Girl Scout Cookies

Caitlin made her first Reconciliation at church.  We were so proud of her!  This is the first step she has to take to do her first Communion, which will be in May.

Caitlin is a Brownie this year.  I am the cookie mom, because I cannot say no.  We picked up the cookies for the troop last weekend. 

Grandpa comes to visit

Grandpa and Grandma came to visit us in January.  The kids had such a great time with them.  Thank goodness it was a beautiful weekend, we were able to spend some time outside.

 B loved showing Grandpa his zipline.  He even got Grandpa to try it!

 Here he goes!

 Caitlin loves to swing on the rope swing and try to catch her brother.

Grandpa started to go up the ladder, then thought again!

 B getting the football set up to kick a field goal, doesn't everyone have a field goal in their back yard?

Grandpa was setting the ball up.

 Grandpa was being brave by holding the football.

 And he scores!!
