family ball fun

We are nearing the end of the spring ball season for the kids.

Only about 2 weeks left. Jordan will be playing summer league and sounds

like Michelle would like to do the same. That will keep our busy schedule going

for another few months! Michelle has been practicing her pitching during team

practices and has even pitched a few games. A few weeks ago we took the

kids to bender to play around. Both kids practiced pitching, hitting and took

a turn at fielding too.

 

ball season

We have started up this week into full swing baseball/softball season.

This year we have added Michelle into the mix!

Our week is busy with no one ever home for dinner except Wednesday

and maybe Friday. As soon as the last kiddo is out the door at 5:30 we kick

into get ready mood and head out the door and haven't been getting back until

about 8:00 from the kids games. Our schedule looks like this.

Josh has practice once a week, league will start soon on Mondays

 and then either one or two day tournament several weekends a month always down south. 

On top of that he started a new workout class to help get him in shape for the upcoming season. 

This class is after work M, Tu, and Thursday. 

Jordan has games Tuesday night and Saturday along with a practice Thursday.

Michelle has two games a week on either on Monday, Tuesday or Saturday

 with a practice during the week usually Friday.

Her games are not just in Lynden but around Whatcom County.

 Both kids are so far excited to be playing

and did very well at their first games! Jordan is on pitching machines this year.

They are not doing balls, strikes and outs though. And each team goes through

their entire line up before switching sides and playing defense. 

Michelle is getting a lot more playing time then she did for the 7th grade team in the fall.

They had no cuts so the team was huge. She only got to bat once and play in the field once

during a two hour game.  Now she is always playing and gets to try out other positions.

Monday she played shortstop, first and outfield. She walked her three times at bat and

one inning stole every base until she scored :)

I am excited to watch the kids play through the coming weeks and hopefully make it to 

a few of Josh's tournaments.  Hopefully the sun will continue to shine for days at a time!
