Family Day

Another jam packed Saturday down for the records.

We started the day with some baseball - unfortunately the game started at 9am and I think our little team doesn't wake up until around 11am. We got beat - bad. Daddy usually pitches for the team but with the tournament coming up both coaches wanted to make sure the kids could hit off of either of their pitching styles so today it was Coach Keith's turn to pitch. We were discussing this with Tyler before leaving for the game.

Tyler's response - Well Daddy can't get it over the plate anyway.

Daddy was humbled today.

He sort of looks like he is doing a dance move here....
Getting down in the dirt to stop a grounder

This was my favorite shot today. He overran the base and because he did the player had to tag him to be out but instead he just touched the base with his foot. Tyler got down and lunged to tag it with his hand and was SAFE! Smart thinking for a little guy!
After the game we went to visit with Grandaddy. He loves going outside and getting some sun. He drank all of my Sprite then he wanted to back in to lay down.

It is exhausting being wheeled around drinking Sprite.

Papa was brave enough to teach Tyler how to ride a mower today too. He wasn't heavy enough to keep the motor going so Papa had to follow behind holding the seat down so it stayed on. You can tell by the looks on each of their faces that Tyler is having a great time driving and Papa's face is saying - What in the world was I thinking?!?

It turned into another slip n slide kinda day. He only had one mishap when he tried to slip n slide on his feet. It didn't end up so well - he landed very hard right on his head. He had quite the headache all afternoon.

Ended the afternoon with some more practicing in the back yard. He ended up with a bloody nose on this catch. The ball hit the very tip of his glove and bounced right onto his nose. I spared you all from those pictures. First real injury from a baseball.

We ended the day with a walk and dinner out with our BFF's at Maccaroni Grill. Tyler drew a masterpiece on the tablecloth and the waitress promised to hang it up. I hope she realized he wasn't kidding and will not forget - ever- that she promised that. If he sees her anywhere he will remember and ask her. She just better say she hung it up or he will be CRUSHED.

Going to CPR now (couples praying regardless) that our church does every year from mothers day to fathers day. How can anything come between a couple when the Lord is mighty in battle for it?

It can't.
