Baseball, Baseball and MORE Baseball

For four straight days we have been at the baseball park.  On Friday Grant’s team had a regular season game at Westurban (which we lost by 1 run 13-12).  Then over the weekend they played in a tournament at Southwest Boys Club in Haysville.  We got a bye in round one and then the boys won their first game 14-1 on Saturday afternoon.  We were back bright and early Sunday morning for a 9:00 game and ended up losing 5-4.  So this meant we didn’t get to play for the championship.  We had some pretty sad boys and parents.  

Here’s my little slugger right before he was up to bat.DSCN0614 DSCN0615 DSCN0616 DSCN0619 DSCN0621 DSCN0622

After our loss on Sunday afternoon a few of Grant’s buddies came over to hang out.  We had quite an interesting ride home.  Three 9 year old boys in the backseat can get a little crazy.DSCN0626

Things got even crazier once we got to the house.  Jeff, who is probably the biggest kid of all, made hot ham and cheese sandwiches but then thought it would be a fun to add all kind of gross condiments.  They boys thought this was SUPER fun.  Here’s Hayden eating his hot ham and cheese with peanut butter, pickles and mustard.  Cade tried a PB&J with soy sauce.  I reminded Jeff that he was in charge of any messes made from one of the boys throwing up.

After lunch they boys all went out back and played the washers game Grant got for his birthday back in September (which we hadn’t opened yet).  It was a big hit!!!  DSCN0631

And the losers (sorry boys) Luckily they were still smiling!!!DSCN0635

I don’t know what the obsession was with picking each other up.DSCN0636

And finally a few more pictures from last nights game.  The Cardinal’s won 7-4.  I found a great spot at the top of the bleachers to take pictures.  Hopefully next time we will be the home team so I will be on the right side to get Grant’s picture when he’s up to bat.  So for now all I have is his backside.  (The world’s worst umpire is also pictured below!!!)DSCN0645DSCN0647DSCN0650
