Baseball!

The boys have always loved playing baseball.  One more than the other, but it seems the older they get they enjoy playing it together.

I love to sit and watch them toss the ball to each other.  And sometimes one throwing the ball while the other swings the bat.    

I realized after sitting outside last week watching them play that we really need to get them in tball ASAP.  Of course it will have to wait until Fall because it is just too hot right now.

They both can hit the ball pretty good, but Ryan's swing is much stronger. As well as his throwing!  You must wear a glove when playing catch with him!  And more and more his balls are going over the fence.  It will be interesting as they grow up to see who likes sports better.  I think I already know. 

Ryan has the "baseball player" stance dead on.  He is playing to win!  Matthew on the other just wants to play for FUN. 

I caught this last picture of Ryan as he was getting ready for Matthew to swing.  When I went back to look at my pictures I was thrown back by this one.  He looks like a serious baseball player.  Not like a little boy playing around. 

Look at those long legs!

There is nothing sweeter than watching them play with their Daddy in the late evenings.  We usually have to wait until around 8:30 when the sun is down below the houses.  At this time it is comfortable enough to play outside.

Baseball+Summer=FUN!
