Spring Sports

This spring the boys played T-ball and, even better, were on the same team, the Padres.


Noah had to use the T most of the time but did get a few hits off the pitch during the season.

Xander was really able to improve his hitting this season as well as his fielding the ball.

Yes, the child sitting down on second base would be Noah...I guess running from base to base is extremely taxing!

Ahhh, there he goes!

Unfortunately I was only able to attend two of the boys' games but it was definitely fun to watch them in action. Noah was most excited to receive a trophy, his very first one.


The reason I missed so many of the boys' games was because I was with Savannah at her soccer games. We signed her up for spring soccer with a league we've never played in before and were definitely disappointed. There ended up being only 4 teams in her age group and the teams were coed. Although Savannah says she doesn't want to play soccer next spring, she definitely used this season to better her skills. Plus she ended up with 5 goals for the season!

I love it - she's beating those boys!

She dribbled right around the defender and scored a goal; I was so excited that I didn't take a picture of her actual shot, dang it!

She's a little toughie, fighting off another boy.

The Red Team. Her coach is from Germany so he spoke with a heavy accent. The parents all found ourselves laughing on the sidelines at some of the things he would yell out - there were sisters on the team and since he couldn't tell them apart (even though they weren't twins) he would just yell out "Sister, go get the ball!" "Sister, come out!" He never learned Savannah's name either so he would just call her Honey. He was VERY vocal and my kids love to imitate him. It cracks me up to hear Noah all of a sudden shout out, "Sister, Sister" or "Sheppie, tie your shoe!" with a German accent.
