Playin' in the Dirt

And Baseball begins. We had our "official" opening day for Connor on Saturday and AJs team had their first tournament. The weather was in the low 70's all weekend, perfect baseball weather.

Connor again did a great job catching but his big news was an inside the park home run! He was so excited. You might not be surprised to find out that he came home from practice on Sunday with a $20 bill. This was apparently the incentive one of the coaches offered up for a HR this year. You had to know Connor would be the first to pull in the $20!

AJ's team won their tournament which was great since it was the first of the year. Way to come out strong boys! The championship game was interesting to say the very least but AJ did a great job catching and the boys were thrilled with the win.

I love that they are both catching, AJ still loves to pitch so this is a close second and Connor loves to play the hot corner but there is something about them behind the plate that I love to watch!

  1. I used to love to watch Courtney catch too she had a knack for coming up with the foul balls! She didn't like it too much - didn't like all the gear

  2. Sounds like Papa was at Connor's game offering cash for home runs. Glad to hear the season is off to a great start for both boys ( and Chris). No news from the Atlanta trip? Is there something we don't want to hear, A.J.?
