The End of Fall Ball

Well it has happened....Brody only wants to wear "cool clothes" to school.

Show-N-Tell were the letters Y and X this week.  I could not think of anything, and Brody runs downstairs with his Yoda.  Kid is smarter than me!

Mason had a pirate's lunch at school for hitting a fundraiser goal.  

We had Friday Night Skills, and it was freezing cold.  John and I made coffees and brought layers just to keep warm.  The kids had a blast and continued to tell us they were hot....

Saturday was a busy day.  The boys had soccer games at the same time that morning, so John and I split up.  I was at Brody's game, he was at Mason's.  But I went back and forth when Brody was out of his game.  

Mason did so well.  He has just gotten so much better as the season has gone on.  He hasn't played in THREE years, so there was definitely a learning curve.  Not to mention, it is real soccer now.  You can't say he doesn't run around and hustle the whole time.  

Brody has the time of his life out there whether he is running with the ball or rolling down the hill.  Either way, he is having fun.  =)

  

This picture is great.  Mason looks like he is dying in pain, but I guess I shot it right when he hit the ground.  He got right back up and even earned his team a penalty kick.  He was pumped.  

He totally ran that kid down. 

 Happy they won. 

  

 It was a fun day all around. 

After the game, I took Mason to his friends' birthday party at Main Event.  

He had a blast. 

Time hop killing me over here.  

A lot can change in five years. 

Sunday was an afternoon of games.  We've had so much rain that it messed up both baseball and soccer schedules.  Mason had a double header in baseball and a soccer game.  He couldn't be in two places at once, so he missed his soccer game.  Brody also had a soccer game. 

John and I went to the baseball games, Mom took Brody to his soccer game.  

So this kid....he has been getting upset if he doesn't get a hit....   And it isn't often, but it does happen.  I mean it is baseball, the goal for the other team is to get outs!  So I talked to him before the games explaining we had two games, he would not get a hit every time he went to the plate.  No reason to get upset, no one expects him to get a hit every time.  All we wanted was have fun.  He then tells me that HE expects himself to get a hit every time.....(he is just so hard on himself, but there was nothing else I could possibly say)

Well go figure, he got a hit every time probably just to prove me wrong.  Ha. 

I mean I was just trying to help here.  

Hate that this is blurry, but this is the look of a kid after hitting a home run.  

Third home run during fall ball.  

Coach John. 

 We had the best kids on this baseball team.  I think they all had a blast together.  Oddly enough, none of them knew each other before the season, but they are friends now.  

 Sad for it to come to an end, but there will always be the spring.  

Mason is lucky to have such a good Daddy. 

Can't leave out this little guy.  He wanted his picture with his Dad in his uniform too.  

Hate we had to miss his game....especially his dab during the game.  =)

One more week/weekend of soccer....then we are on to basketball!
