The T-ball post (and it's only three months late!)

Rix participated in T-all again. Three months ago! Man, I cannot seem to catch up lately! I'm so behind on grocery shopping, dishes, laundry, gardening, housework, and sleep. I really need a date night with my husband, but my evenings are spend trying to catch up, feeding Jacob, and running errands - I still haven't got any back-to-school items, and school starts in a week! Phew...

Deep breath.

Okay, so here goes my attempt to catch up on blogging. I still need to post about Jacob's blessing and our Utah trip but first things first.

Rix LOVES sports. And he is good at them too. This is his last year at T-ball and next year he will move on to coach pitch. I think he will love that even more since I already pitch balls to him in the backyard and he begs me to do it all the time. This year he got to play with his cousins Olivia and Hayden, and his friend Ethan. I love watching T-ball - especially the kids who have never played before. They are so funny! My favorite is watching the kids all run for the ball at the same time, even if they have to run from outfield to first base, or short stop to right field. They will all run for the ball. The coach tried to teach them to only go for the balls in their area, and I think by the end of the season he succeeded, but it took a while!

I love the look on his face! Such determination!

Getting coached by the first-base coach - this is a serious game!
I missed the end-of-season party because I had literally just had Jacob, so Carissa took these pictures for me. Here Rix is with his trophy and certificate. He was so excited to get a trophy!

I can totally see Rix doing coach pitch. I think Olivia is done with baseball :( but Rix will have lots of fun!

That's so great he's good at sports! And he's lucky to have a mom who'll pitch to him :) I'm sure you'll catch up soon too :)
