Baseball

I believe I mentioned in earlier entries that Jaxson started baseball this year. His team, The Dodgers, made it into the finals, after beating their nemesis The Mets. It was such a great game, but sadly the boys were so nervous that they forgot how to swing the bat, and lost 1-0. Jaxson was the last batter and got out on a controversial call made by the outfield ref, and every once and awhile we still get a little outburst about how unfair it was. I think it is good for him though...his swimming team and basketball teams both won their championship games a little humility is good for him.

Jaxson did a baseball camp up at Alpenrose a week ago and I cannot believe how much he has improved since the beginning of the season. He has gone from this kid that was afraid of the ball, to this awesome baseball player who is confident and is running to catch pop flies! We are so proud of his work ethic and he is outside practicing every chance he gets, even if it's by himself!!

Here are some pics of the last game:

At the Championship game each player got introduced in front of all the parents.

Getting pumped up!

Up to bat!

The boys getting their medals!

Not too happy about 2nd place!

The after party!!

Ahhh there is a smile listening to his coach talk about how much he has improved this year, and about his love of the game!

We are really looking forward to next season!!
