Grant's Game

What a great game this was. During this game we got a legit triple play. (Eddie's 1st as a coach) This is Grant's 1st time playing Single A baseball. It's basically kid pitch but instead of taking a walk on ball 4 the coach comes in and throws 3 pitches. Grant had 2 great hits. 1 off the kid pitcher and 1 off the coach (his Daddy) He played Catcher, 2nd base and pitched. Eddie says Grant has awesome potential as a pitcher. Apparently his size helps and for his age he has very good control. (all according to Dad) What was funny is Grant went in for the last inning. When Eddie told him he was going to pitch the next game he was thrilled but he is right now refusing to start. He keeps telling us he is a closer like K-Rod. (the Angels closer) We are working very hard on convincing him that he needs to pitch more than 1 inning and that his Dad does need him to start sometimes. We'll see how that goes. He does have a very stubborn streak to him. Enjoy the pictures. I've posted my favorites.......

Weekend Games

We had quite a busy weekend. Jacob played his game at 10am on Saturday, Grant had his 1st game at 330 and Kayley cheered at 4pm. To top it all off it was Jacob's 10th birthday so we went out to eat that evening. We started our morning early at 630am and we finally got to bed at 10pm. I was never so happy to get off my feet!

Jacob's team got their first win. They beat Riverside 7-0. Grant had a great game and Kayley's team lost 28-20. Here's a great picture of Jacob (white arm pads, middle of picture) making a nice block for his quarterback (he's running with the ball behind him) Thanks to Eddie we are getting lots of pictures during the games.

Picture Day

Picture Day for football and cheer was Sunday. It was very HOT!!! We managed to snap a few pictures of Kayley and Jacob. Also is a picture of Jacob with 2 of his friends Caleb and Chase. Chase (#73) is the center, Caleb (#63) is the right guard and Jacob plays left guard. I do like that we were able to sneak out a bit of a smile from them. It cracked me up in all the pictures we took of Jacob that day he wouldn't smile. Football players don't do that. When they were taking their team picture a couple of the kids were yelling at the team not to smile. It was pretty funny!!

Jacob Football Game 1

Sorry I'm late with the post. It's been a bit of a crazy week around here. Our first game went well even though we lost. The final score was 0-6. Not bad for a first game. Jacob (#65) played very well and had a blast. He was very excited to look up from the playing field into the stands to see that Cousin John had stopped by on his way back up the mountain to watch him play. Here are a few pictures. We travel to Riverside this week and hopefully we"ll come back with a big win!!!

Kayley Cheers

Here is Kayley cheering at her 1st game. She did a fantastic job. All our cheerleader friends and family would be proud. (Angie, Nikki) You can hear her out there and they had her lead a couple cheers. She made myself and her Dad proud when they hollared at her to start a cheer she looked up at the scoreboard to see who had the ball. Good thing because they had told her to do a defensive cheer and our offense had the ball. That's our girl. Her Dad told her if anything please look and see who has the ball before you start a cheer, you don't want to look foolish out there. She avoided that big time!!! She really enjoys cheering and is looking forward to this weeks game. The team she cheers for had a HUGE win over their opponent!

Quick post

Everything is going well. We've been super busy this week. Lots of stuff going on at school and we are preparing for Jacob's first football game and Kayley's first game of cheer. They both have their uniforms and are all set to go. Jacob's game is at 10am in North San Bernardino. Kayley cheers at our home field at 4pm. In between we have a team bbq. It's going to be a fun exciting day. We can hardly wait.

I will post pictures and updates Saturday night!!!
