The All Star

This is a picture of their team banner.  Levi is the one to the right of the middle, holding the bat with one hand.   He is enjoying this crazy baseball schedule.  Baseball practice for hours almost every day and tournaments every weekend, but he LOVES it.  Maybe tomorrow's multiple game schedule in the 108 degree heat might make him ready to be done, but I don't know!  He is the state tournament this weekend and then starts the World Series next weekend. It should be an interesting experience!

I need to get some action shots. This is just one of him with a couple other team leaders to go up before the game for the toss.   He is mostly playing first base, but is plaing second this weekend since the usual second baseman is gone.  He might be a little sad when the other guy comes back because he says he likes second better since he gets to field even more balls there! Crazy baseball loving boy! I don't forsee us doing this kind of crazy schedule again, but he is definitely enjoying the experience!

Lots of Michigan Fun...

Ollie is 2!

Ollie had a great birthday with Gma and his cousins and an early celebration with his Michigan cousins.  Craig and I slept since we drove through the night to get home from Michigan the night before but we still had our own little family party after levi's baseball game complete with his ice cream cookie sandwich cakes! :)

He enjoyed the welcome home/birthday decorations to greet us when we got home left by his cousins!

 I love how you can tell he is saying, "CHEESE" really loud! :)

 His favorite ball now...

Ollie also decided to surprise us with catapulting out of his crib to wake us all up for his birthday morning! He wants us to know he is 2 nowbig boy and a  I guess!
