1st T-Ball Game!

Braden had his first t-ball game this weekend. What fun! Nobody gets out and everybody scores every inning. What a great way to get them started in baseball. Cactus Little League does a good job and opening day was fun. Each team is a school from the PAC 12, so I'm really glad we aren't the Arizona Wildcats... we are the Oregon Ducks. And we found out one of his teammates is moving in to a house on the street right behind us. Yay!

This video shows warm-ups, the introduction of his team, his first at bat and his first time crossing home plate!

Getting some help from Daddy at practice.

Who needs a tee? 

Getting suited-up for the first day!

So official with the eye black. He actually won some Big League Chew at the hit-a-thon when he hit a sign and that was the highlight of his day because he's just waiting to turn 5 so he can have gum.

  The National Anthem. 

Braden got the game ball at the team meeting. We got really lucky with Coach Tim. He's great with the boys.

 Proud Mommy and Daddy!  

Hunter was wondering when he could get into the action. 

Mimi and Poppa were glad to be here for Opening Day, too!
