Springtime Activities....

So April is halfway over and we have been very busy. First we have Easter. I had to work on Saturday so I had to miss the Hadlock family party. However, Andy was able to attend something for the first time in a long time and that made him happy. I sent him with the camera and he did a pretty good job. I on the other hand didn't do so well at my mom's party later that same day so there are not any pictures from her house. I had to help Tyler find his eggs and didn't have my camera handy. My dad's sister Pat joined us for the first time in a lot of years...I mean A LOT of years. Pretty crazy to see her there. Should have taken a picture of that at least so I could remember that she was there.

Heck....the Easter Bunny even found us!
Next exciting thing we have going on is Brandon is playing baseball. I am not sure who is more excited, me or him. I am pretty sure he is more excited, but I am for sure proud! I have always been an emotional person but seeing him doing something he loves to do makes me cry for some stupid reason. I just can't stop it from coming. Just in case you need something to laugh at here is the story....

Brandon was playing left field, and he had one ball hit to him. He grabbed it and and threw it into second base just like he was supposed to. It made me so proud to see him play. I am sure I would have been proud even if he totally missed it. Just to see him having fun and loving it is enough for me.

Here he is at bat. It is (what he likes to call) real baseball. The kids pitch the ball. He did pretty well at his 2 at bats during the game. The first one he got hit by a pitch so he got to walk. The second one he struck out but did so swinging. I can hardly wait to see how the team and him improve throughout the season. The coach is excited about the year and so am I. Tyler is a little disappointed he isn't able to go on the field and play too. I hope I can keep him off :)

Baseball in Tooele is pretty big. They have an opening ceremony and everything. They have all the teams from T-Ball all the way up to 15 year old teams on the field and they sing the National Anthem and throw out a "first pitch" to start the season. Bumble the bee from the Salt Lake Bees was even there, that made all the kids happy. He took the time to take pictures with whoever wanted to.
