We finished another season of sports. It was a rough one, but it is about learning to play the game, good sportsmanship, giving it your all, not quitting, and having fun with your friends.
Cort played soccer on Coach Howard's team with Louis while Keaton and Kevin chose baseball.

| My little patriot. Go Revolution! |

 |
| Skins vs. Shirts This night at practice was so cute. |
 |
| Yep, in almost every picture he has his tongue out. Even the one before this one. I don't know what it is, but he must get it from me because I realized the other day I run with my tongue out. I know, weird. |
 |
| Thought this shot was cool even though I cut off his head. |
 |
| Leading the pack |
 |
| Cort and Louis |
 |
| Cort with Kevin's batting helmet. Sweet face |
 |
| Looks like he is having fun. That's what it's all about. |
 |
| Goalie |
 |
| Receiving instructions from Coach Howard. Again with the tongue. |
 |
| And you have to spit, even in soccer. |
 |
| Giving it his all. |
 |
| Cort and his proud momma. |

 |
| Kick it Cort! |
 |
| Having a pow- wow |
 |
| Soccer stud. Season stats: 1-4-2 Yep, we won 1, tied 2, and lost 4. It is hard to see your little guys lose, but they kept their spirits up. |
 |
| Of course its my blog so I have to brag. Cort scored the only goal of the season. And it was awesome! He looked like a professional with a side kick from the ground. |
 |
| All we ask of our kids is that they try their best. |
 |
| We are proud of our Soccer player! |
 |
| New York Yankees Machine Pitch Division |
 |
| Fielding the ball at practice. |
 |
| Love this guy and watching him play baseball. |
 |
| Batting practice |
 |
| The machine pitches the ball at 45 mph. |
 |
| Mark took the boys to the batting cages several times so Keaton could get used to the machine. We are really proud of how much he progressed and how well he could hit the ball. |
 |
| Keeping his eye on the ball. |
 |
| And swing! |
 |
| Yet another day at practice. BFF, Kevin watching from behind. |
 |
| Game Day |
 |
| Keaton was excited to play catcher. This was the first year they were required to wear a cup. Eight year old boys thinks this is very funny and like to tell everyone. |
 |
| Why so sad, catcher? |
 |
| Time to get serious. |
 |
| Looks like a pro. |
 |
| Keaton with Grandfather at the game. |
 |
| Base Hit! |
 |
| Out in the field |
 |
| There were only enough kids signed up at the YMCA this season for 2 machine pitch teams. This means we played the same team every week. Season stats: 1-5-1 Our guys gave it their all, but the other team was tough. We tied the first game, but struggled the remaining games. The last game was against the parents and the kids smoked us!!! |
 |
| Regardless of the score, our boys played hard and had some great hits. |
 |
| No one is getting passed me. |
 |
| Great job K!!! |
 |
| Okay Gage, I know you are bored and get tired of being in the stroller, but give mommy a break. |
 |
| During one of the games, I look over and see Gage with his face in his tray. Silly boy! |
 |
| If you want to drink your water with out sharing, don't let Gage see it. He loves to play with the bottle and usually ends up poring it all over himself. |
 |
| Daddy with Gage at practice. |
 |
| Gage wants to play soccer too! |
 |
| It won't be long.... |
