On to the next......

Mckenna is playing T-Ball!!  It is so much fun to watch.  I talk all the time about how big she is and how much she is growing up and then I see her on a huge baseball field, with a huge batting helmet on (that she has to hold up because it falls down and covers her eyes) and I realize she is still so little!  Before her first game we asked her what she needs to do after she hits the ball off the tee.  She said "pick the ball up and hit it again!"  Hahaha - not to worry she did great in her first game and had a lot of fun!!!! She did ask Tom if it was almost over during the last time up at bat. 

Mckenna's first (and only) T-Ball pratice. 

Mckenna practicing throwing the ball. 

When she throws it only goes about 3 feet :).

Mckenna's 1st game and 1st time up to bat.

She swings.......

And she hits it!!!!  Yeah MC!

Kiara has moved up to Coach Pitch Softball.  She loves it!  We have asked her if she had to choose, softball or soccer, what would it be?  And she has reponded "Don't make me choose!!!"  The ages on the team are 7-9 year olds, so she is the youngest on the team but she can hold her own.  She hits the ball at every at bat (thanks to all her unlces, grandfathers, and dad for telling her over and over again to keep her eye on the ball) and is beginning to really understand the game. 

Kiara scoring a run!

We will miss part of the baseball season for both kids while we are in Seattle and that stinks.  They both love it so much.  We don't want them to not participate in a sport that they enjoy however it is difficult to make a commitment to a team and to miss a chunk of the season.  For this year, we are okay with our decision to have the girls play, it is something that we will have to revisit next season.  Mckenna has one more game on Saturday and Kiara one on Monday.  Go Green!!
