It's Baseball Season!

About 2 months ago, Connor began telling people that he was playing baseball in the spring. This was news to me, so I quickly signed him up to prevent his disappointment. I barely made the cut off. Shew! We headed out to the store to purchase all the necessary equipment. Boy, I had no idea he needed so much stuff ($$$$...ouch!). He has been playing for about a month now and is doing great! He had no idea how to bat, catch, or even the rules of the game when he began. He was pumped for his first game and went up to bat twice. He struck out twice. He has made so many improvements since then and you can count on him hitting the ball every time he comes to the plate now, thanks to his AWESOME dad. This picture was taken before the first game.

Bo was asked to help coach the team. He was reluctant at first, but has really enjoyed it and looks forward to the games now. You can find Connor and Bo in the front yard everyday after school practicing hitting and catching. Tyler has even gone out to practice with them several times and has picked up a lot of skill from it. He is saying that he may try to play next year, too. Here are a few highlights from the games. I love the one where he makes his first hit ever and Bo is at first base directing him in. Priceless! The next one is the high five in the dugout after the run home.

I have enjoyed watching Connor play baseball more than any other sport he has played, but more importantly HE has enjoyed it more as well. I can already hear them announcing "Connor Richardson #10" at the Carrollton High School games!!
