Spring baseball

We wrapped up spring baseball for both boys a couple of weeks ago. It was the end of Griffin's last t-ball season, and a shortened Voodoo season for Rhys.  (The same kids that screwed us over for fall with football decided to play league ball All-Stars so the Voodoo didn't have enough players to finish out the season. I think this time we actually learned our lesson about them...at least I hope we did.)  Rhys moonlighted this weekend with the Phillies out of Round Rock, and he might do more fill-in work this summer.  He just wants to get in more baseball any way he can!

Anyway, Griffin had another great season with his fantastic coaches, Patrick and Kellen.  His team went undefeated and won first place in the league!  He has learned so much this year and is really starting to get in the groove with baseball.  He even caught his first fly ball!  He mostly played 2nd base, but he also played some outfield, and even a couple of short stints at catcher. The only unfortunate part of this season was the team name. Since the team was the Longhorns in the fall, the coaches thought it was only fair that we be the Aggies this spring.  It was painful.  Hopefully next fall they'll pick a random team that nobody has ties to!

I'm not sure what was happening here, but I'm pretty sure he's *fabulous*!

Rhys had a tougher season this spring.  For whatever reason, the Voodoo didn't play nearly as well as they did in the fall and their record was less than stellar.  He still had a great time with it and is very sorry it's over.  Rhys continues to have no regular position, and fills in pretty much wherever he's needed. He pitches every weekend, but he also plays catcher, short stop, second base, third base, and center field. 

One of my favorite parts from this season was the BABIES!  I do enjoy baseball -- I like the game, I like to be outside, I love the tradition and history, and most importantly, I like to watch the kids do the things they love -- but it's made all the better when you have two adorable and squeezable babies to cuddle!
