T-Ball 2010

Hudson is playing t-ball for the second summer. Last year, his Aunt was the coach, so he was able to be on the team even though he wasn't old enough to play. This year, he was invited back on the same team even though they had a different coach. We were thrilled that they were willing to include him. In Minot, you're supposed to have completed Kindergarten to play t-ball. Hudson really has a lot of natural athletic abilities and I can't imagine him not playing for 3 more years! (And, no, I'm not just saying that because I'm his mommy!!)


Hudson & his cousin Taylee are on the same team. Fun for them!


A little instruction from Coach. First at-bat of the season!


Hudson has had the opportunity to play so many positions this year! First base, second base, outfield, pitcher... Last game, his little 3 year old face couldn't stop smiling when he got the chance to play catcher!!! Andy was a catcher in high school and college. I wouldn't be surprised if Hudson follows in daddy's shoes!


Hudson (far right) and some teammates waiting for their turn to bat. :) I love the girls in their pink helmets!


And he scores! Giving high fives as he runs back to the dugout.


A quick smile for mom!


Swing, batter!


Cute little #5.


Yes, he slides into home every single time! Even when it's totally not necessary!


Waiting on 3rd...

We feel so lucky to have such a fun little boy who enjoys being part of a team. He takes it quite seriously and loves every minute of playing. A huge thank you to Hudson's coaches...we appreciate them so much!! They are giving him a tremendous opportunity and developing his love for sports. Hopefully we'll be able to continue getting him on a team each summer until he's actually old enough to play! :) He's having a blast! Two games next week and the season comes to an end. Where has this summer gone?!?

OH HOW I WISH I COULD WATCH HIM. THOSE WERE SOME OF OUR FAVORITE DAYS. AT ONE TIME WE HAD ONE IN SOCCER AND TWO IN BASEBALL. CRAZY BUT FUN!
