Baseball, Mountains and Chain Link.

We had such a fun night yesterday. Linc started his first year of tee-ball. I wasn't sure how he'd do because he's never been much of an outdoor kid, but he loved it! He didn't cry once. He loves being around other kids and having friends so this was just right for him. We signed him and Logan up at the YMCA this year because we really like the program there. I wasn't planning on signing them at all, but the more I thought about it, I realized they really could use something outside this house to do. It's also so fun for our family to get together and support each other.

Owen was in his Elmo harness for more than half of the time because he doesn't listen worth beans, but then he and Logan discovered a huge pile of red dirt and they were set for the rest of the practice. I often wonder what people are thinking while they watch me wrangle all my kids in public places. The looks on their faces crack me up!

Ellie took turns with Dan and I. She loves being outside. The poor thing had her six month doctor appointment earlier that day (a little late) and her shots were starting to make her a bit warm. Luckily the fever didn't kick in till later last night so I am giving her lots of TLC today. Okay, on that note I better go and take care of my kids. Here are a lot of pictures as usual. :) Logans first practice is Friday and since he's played before I promise to only post a few; but this being Lincs first time, I went a little crazy with the camera.

First time at bat.

I thought this chain link was fun to photograph so I took a few.




Eyes closed, but still cute!



All lined up.


"The base is here Linc!" He would hit the ball (or not) and then just run in any direction he felt like running! So funny. I felt bad for Dan because he came straight from work and didn't have time to change so he spent the entire practice in his nice clothes.


picking it up!



Here was a not hit. :)



Bobble head.


There we go, to the base this time!



Now what?


This was Linc after practice. He had to get a few more laps in!



The mountain.


I've been humming "Ain't no Mountain High Enough" all morning because of this picture!



Man, those clothes were stainless when we got there!


At least Owen didn't hit anyone with the shovel. I was kind of shocked he didn't try actually.

Cute, cute, cute!! I remember those days! Fun, but hectic, especially when 3 of them have a game on the same day and the same time in 3 different ball fields.

What fun pictures! I really like the ones through the chain link fence. And Lincoln's first time at bat! Love them. We're finally home again, I'll give you a call and see when we can get together.
