baseball play-offs!



June 13th was a BIG day for Noah and the "Cubs". They had the final game of the play-offs, a double header, against the best team on the South Davis baseball league (in their age bracket). They had a long day starting at 8:00 am-12:00 noon. They had rain, they had some sun, and MUD! Noah did great until the end of the game when his thumb got hit by the machine pitch while up to bat! OUCH! He still tried to hit the last pitch but missed (I wonder why?) He was in a lot of pain! But what a game! They did great but lost to the other team! Still, to be second is GREAT! His team really came a LONG way and worked HARD! Noah now thinks baseball is the sport for him and wants to play it, and I quote, "for the rest of his life!" I have to put in here that I am a ball of nerves when I go to his games!!!!! Soccer was hard but not as bad! I feel like I have an ulcer after I watch his baseball games! I know, I know, he's EIGHT! But I can't stand the stress and I feel like I am bad luck being there!!!! Every time Kelly takes him and I stay home with the kids, he hits his home runs and just does great! Does anyone else get this stressed? Any time my kids perform I get this way. I can't look at Bailey when she plays the piano for recitals because I am so nervous!!! I hate to see how I am when Noah is playing high school ball!!!!

Karson must have played in the other league. They just had their tournament last Friday. I have the post all fired up and ready to go once I get the stinking pictures off of my camera. karson said the same thing about baseball being his sport. Too funny. I wanted him to be a soccer boy, but he has fallen for baseball.

No, you're not the only one who gets stressed! Wait until he does kid pitch and he's the one pitching!! Everything basically depends on the pitcher so you can imagine the stress with that one. Luckily Pierce doesn't pitch all the time, otherwise I'd be a constant mess for sure! Tomorrow's his last game! Way to go Noah. That's great he got a trophy. I don't think Pierce will be getting one this year. I think they should give them to everyone, personally!
