Baseball star!

Koen played coach pitch baseball this year. It is the sport he likes the most, which is still not much. ;) I am hoping over time he will grow a love for sports. That's why we keep trying. I think sports are good for kids. It gives something to fill their free time and teach them things. I keep reminding myself he is only 5. It's ok if he sits on the ground in the outfield. Its ok if he stomps on his mitt a few times. Well actually Phil had to remind me. ;)

He played with a few of his friends this year which was nice. His good friend Dylan from school and our neighbors Kyler, Evan and Austin. Overall I think he enjoyed it. I didn't love taking Brigs and manhandling him during the games, mostly by myself. Still worth it though.

 Koen and Dylan     Koen and Evan? (maybe Austin they are twins;)

 The crazy fan!
Go PHILLIES!

When my son was 5-6 and played baseball...he would play in the sand!! It use to get me so irritated :) I think it takes awhile for kids (boys) to pick a sport they like...cute pictures!!

Parker just barely started getting into sports and now he is a fanatic! Seriously wants to play every sport there is.
Ko looks so cute in his baseball uniform. Honestly, the thing I like most about the sports is how stinkin' cute they look in their uniforms.
By the way, do you guys still have Koda? Don't know why I just thought of that.

I think the "I like sports" switch will turn on soon. It just barely did for Summer and she's almost 6 1/2. (Not that all kids like sports... but I'd bet that Koen will soon) :)

Oh my... cutest thing ever to see that little Koen in a uniform. Man, I love that kid! He called me at work the other day (PLEASE don't get mad Alesha- I know he probably stole the phone and snuck a call), but it was the BEST surprise ever. Good thing I gave him my work magnet with my phone number on it :) Love, Miss

Aiden is the same way. He does not care for sports very much but I want him to be involved for many reasons. He usually is pretending to shoot aliens from the sky or sitting down eating grass. I like to think it's the age...I hope!
