Change of address....

Not really but it feels like it....Ball season has begun! Tyler is playing tee ball and Anna Lea is on the regular season team and the tournament team (coach pitch). So, the ball park is my new address. If I am not at work, then I will be at the park! Seriously I think I am there every night. I am not complaining. I really enjoy it. It wears us out but it is fun to watch the kids learn the game and the confidence it builds in them.

Tyler is a ham and will hit the home base twice before preparing to hit. Even at batting practice. TAP TAP then the stance. When he plays first base he goes to the base, stands on it with 2 feet then proceeds to walk five steps away then turns and waits for the ball to be hit. That must have come from his daddy in order to get him in the right spot. Then his favorite is running the bases. He wants to watch the ball and runs slow especially home then smiles and takes off whenever the pitcher gets the ball and runs after him!

AnnaLea has greatly improved this year! She has possessed the skills just not the confidence. She has been playing pitcher (it is coach pitch) and short. She has a great arm and aim. Her batting has been improving. She hit a homerun last night. Well, not over the fence, but far enough out there that she got around the bases! Her face was priceless! It is so exciting to watch her concentrate on making the catches and good passes to first for the out!

Tucker is great! I could not have asked for a better baby. I admit that I was not overly excited about a number 3, but I can not imagine my life without him. He sits in the stroller and as long as Grandmommy does not yell encouragement too loud he is happy. He likes the action and of course all the attention he gets from all the little girls on Anna Lea's team. Learning the flirting game early.

We will be traveling around with the tournament team, so family, I will keep you posted.

hot or cold

I blame Tracy...it is completely his fault, his genes, all him....well maybe a little from me and my side. Tyler is STUBBORN, he is set in his way once he has it in his head. For example, driving in the car today and Tyler says, "I'm hot." So, I logically turn the AC from medium to high. "Mommy, turn it off, I am hot!!!" "Turn on the hot air!" I then explain that when you want hot air you say I am cold and when you want cold air you say I am hot. You are stating your condition as hot or cold then everyone will then know, Tyler is hot, I need to turn on cold air. WELL, Tyler does not see it that way and he will cut me of in midsentence to tell me I am wrong. Well, no worries Tyler. Your mom will continue to turn the AC to high when you say I am hot until you get it right!! That does not mean I am stubborn just teaching, right???
