Once Upon a Carter: Ball season still going strong

Ok, I haven't updated in a couple of weeks so I'm sorry, but we have been super busy with everything going on. The boys have finally been able to play ball considering last month was a gulley washer and we were pretty much rained out the whole month! Dylan's team is finally starting to show some improvement. They are all starting to hit and we have won some games. We played 3 games last Saturday and won all three. We started at 10 in the morning and finally finished around 7 that night. It was alot of fun, but we were all worn out. Dylan did really good, he is playing very good at 1st base. He's getting better at batting, I think his nerves get the best of him sometimes. He struck out a couple of times that weekend, but the last game we were down by 5 or 6 runs and when Dylan got up to bat we had two outs! He got an awesome hit and started us off and after him everyone hit the ball and we came back and won! It was so much fun, we were all jumping up and down and yelling. Now that is what I call playing baseball, so exciting!!!! He's played three times this week and we've won one, which was tonight. He got 6 outs at 1st base, alot of the hits came to him and he did a great job of not letting them get by him. We are so proud of him and the baseball player he is becoming. He is learning the game and really enjoying it. I'm not ready for it to be over, I could play all year long!!

Now onto Drew, for the few games that he has played he is going to be one awesome ball player. He's finally starting to figure it out and starting to not run across the whole field every time he gets the ball. He usually plays 2nd base, but the few times he's played pitcher he has really done a good job. He's caught a pop fly and one game he got all 3 outs on his own and of course every time he bats he gets really good hits. I swear he swings his bat in his sleep! He's always walking around swinging his "bat" or throwing the "ball". He's so funny and I hope he sticks with baseball because I know he will be a very good baseball player. It's just really tough when him and Dylan have games at the same time..we've had that happen last Saturday and today. I hate missing either one of their games. Drew did make me feel better today when he told me that he wanted me to come to his game tonight because I cheer for him and his daddy just sits there. That made me feel really good because he always wants to be with his daddy and to know my cheering(yelling as I call it) makes him feel good. He always makes sure I'm watching when he bats or when he comes across the plate. He's so cute!!!

Anyway, that is what's been going on with baseball the past couple of weeks, we have been busy, busy with it. It is so much fun though!!! I love to see my kids succeed at stuff and the smile on their face when they know they are doing good. It melts my heart!!!

Go Dylan!! We are so proud of you!!
