T-Ball Indians

WOW.  Another successful t-ball season out at Orwall.  Carson was on the Indians this past spring.  We had most of the same kids back from fall ball, which also meant that we had all of the great parents again  too.  I am really going to miss having all of the kids from the same elementary school on the same team!!  As the get older, you draft kids instead of getting them assigned to teams based on where they live.  Boo!!  Anyway, Carson did great and was an ALL STAR T-BALL PLAYER in my book!!  This was a really long season and playoff season, so I am being very brief and condensing this all into one post, since I am months behind here.

Here is a picture of my big man batting the ball!!

It goes....

And it finally stops....at the fence!!  We have a two base rule in t-ball....no homers.  :(
Making plays!

Running the bases.
After many stressful playoff games, the Indians went on to be the American League Champions!!!  Go boys!!  This was so exciting for all of us!  Check out the team under the score board.  Proud night!!  Do you see the stow away with Daddy in this picture?  He SO wanted to be a part of it!


We are number 1!!

My little champion!!
Cannon sat in Carson's lap while the awards were being passed out.  You get away with that when your Daddy is the coach!
After this, it was on to the World Series game.  We had to play the number 1 team in the National Division.  They were good, really good!!  We unfortunately didn't win that game.  Had we been on our "A" game, we could have done it, but it was just not our night, and that is okay!!  Here is Carson getting his monster trophy from Coach Daddy.

The parents came prepared.  This wasn't the first time that this group of boys made it all the way to the World Series game, only to have a heartbreaking loss.  So we had water balloons, cookies, cupcakes and silly string.  Oh, the chaos!!  It sure eased the heart break of the game!!


Notice, in the midst of the craziness, Cannon, just standing there in his lime green shirt, eating a cupcake!  This kid cracks me up.

Am I in your way?  Don't get my cupcake wet!
And one last t-ball picture of Carson and Jack!  Aren't they the cutest??   I SO hope that we get to team up with most of this group again in the Spring. 

What a great end to the season and a great experience for these boys.  SO, it wasn't the Little League World Series, like Pearland just played in, but it sure felt like it!!
