Last Games of Baseball Season

Evan played his last game of coach pitch baseball on June 1, 2013 so yes, I am a little behind on posting this.  I have several posts to catch up on and hope to do so before the new baby arrives.  Good thing I have been "blessed" with a few extra days, huh?  Evan and his team all progressed very well this season and learned the new skills necessary for coach pitch baseball very quickly.  There are only a couple of players who may play another round of coach pitch before moving up to machine pitch.  Evan and his cousin Lanny will more than likely be playing machine pitch next year, and we'll see if their daddies will continue with coaching.  Uncle Paul and Lanny had to miss the last couple of games because they were traveling to Europe.  Yes, my brother and his wife may be officially deemed the craziest parents on the planet for traveling to Paris and London with four kids under 9.  Haha!  But they actually survived to tell the tale and had a great trip.  So Coach Eddie had to do the honors of coaching solo for the last couple of games, and on Saturday, we actually had a double header.  Since we had an hour between games, the team ordered pizza to eat in the dugout, and Coach Eddie passed out their trophies.  The boys enjoyed running around the field for a while.

Our little pro at bat. 

He has such a determined face.  I actually had a hard time getting many pictures of his batting because he would always hit the first or second pitch, and I would end up missing it because I would be busy handling little brother.  

Nice swing!

Oh man, that one was going to be a big hit!

He made it to first. 

This one was in a pretty bad mood for the last game.  I let him out of his stroller once, and he immediately proceeded to run away from me so back in the stroller he went.  He fussed the whole game!

One last end of the game cheer!  

Go Green Cobras!

Enjoying some pizza.  We wouldn't let Evan eat more than one piece since he still had to play another game in the heat, and we didn't want him getting sick.

He wouldn't stop and pose for a picture with his trophy. 

And this little boy is ready for it to be his turn to play. 

Cousin Grady was even there to cheer for his big cousin's team.

Aww, sweet boys playing with their baby cousin!

I love that Grady reached up to touch both of their faces. 

Hugs from big cousin Evan.

Brody's latest cheese face.

Brody was so sweet watching Grady play with his feet.

And I just loved this sweet picture of Brody.
