Let's Play Some Baseball

That's right, it's baseball season! And our little resident sports buff (notice I said little to distinguish him from the other sports buff at our house) has been having a blast playing baseball this year. A few of the games have been during slight sprinkling of rain, so I wasn't able to take my camera until this last Thursday.

This is his little team. They are all so cute in their little green shirts and hats.

He's always all smiles when he plays, it's great to see him having such a fun time!

Here he is getting ready to throw the ball. He's a really good infielder and can pretty much stop anything hit in his direction.

Here he is batting. He looks so grown up standing there holding that bat. He has gotten a hit every time he's been up - which I think is impressive for a 6 year old!

And here he is on first base after getting another great hit. He always looks towards where we are sitting to be sure we saw his hit. He's always so excited and we just love seeing him so happy.


Of course I can't help but put a little video on here of him hitting. He's so cute! As proud as I am of him, I still have a hard time realizing that little boy out there is my baby - he's just growing up so fast!



He really has some great natural talent in the sports area and even more, he really enjoys playing. He's just so much fun to watch! Thanks to all the family who have taken time out to come and watch him play, it really has meant a lot to him and to us.

Way to go, Zach! Thanks for putting the pictures and video on here so we don't miss out on all the fun. Also sorry I am such a comment slacker lately. Looks like you guys are having a fun summer and keeping busy. Are you guys going to Bear Lake? Hopefully we will see you there.
