Jax has been anxiously awaiting baseball season this year. Last week, the first game was rained out, so he couldn't wait for Saturday to get here. Ryan is the coach this year and so far they are both really enjoying it. They have had two practices and Ryan has been working with the kids a lot on fielding drills. He doesn't want them to get hit in the face with balls so they need to learn how to block them ( I think I might be rubbing off on Ryan just a little. I tell him before every game or practice to make sure J doesn't get hit in the face or chest:)
So, this was J before the game. Showing off his batting skills.
That's him over by Ryan. He was warming up with his new friend Jackson.
Making a catch. It is amazing how much he has improved since last year.
More warming up.
Jax's team was up to bat first. He was the second batter. And...he got an awesome hit on his first pitch. Unfortunately a lady walked right in front of me and blocked my shot (even though I had the camera ready -- how rude). So, by the time I snapped the picture he was halfway down the first base line. Go Jax!
This league is machine pitch, but the machine was broken this week so Ryan had to pitch. He did great, but there was an annoying Dad on the sidelines who kept yelling at him to do it differently, blah, blah, blah. Ryan was getting super annoyed, but managed to ignore him.
Warming up with his friends from the team.
That is Ryan in the black shirt. Best Coach ever!
Griffin, Lila, and Sunny had a pretty good time too. Doesn't G look cute with his Bear?
Jax is #9 with the helmet on and holding his bat.
