Astros.. another tough loss

This year has been rough.. we have only had 2 wins but I have to say these boys have really improved over the past two months.  Zach has really improved his hitting and getting so much better as a catcher.  Zach has really had a good year.. he has gotten quite a few outs and has gotten at least 1 score a game which is great. 

This past Saturday we played the Yankees and here are a few pictures from the game.

First Game as an Astro!

First Game!!!!  It was pretty interesting.. I love opening day of the season.  The kids are excited and not quite sure what they are supposed to do.. and this year was no different but our team did get into it by the end of the game.  They had some great plays and even some pretty good hits.  This year we are machine pitch and it seems more offical about everything.. we even have real umpires.. Zach is batter number 1... is first up to bat he got out.. 2nd up to bat.. a line drive to right field.. he got on first... stole 2nd and was run in for a run!!!  He was our first score!  He was excited!  I'm in the dugout with the boys and when he came in.. he jumped in my arms.. it was cute and sweet.. His 3rd up to bat he got out again.. On Defense he is our catcher this year... and he LOVES it.. the boy is not afraid of the ball!  Of coarse Tim and I got him a good catcher outfit so when it hits him he doesn't really feel it.  Either way he is a brave little boy!  He stopped many balls even catching one in his glove.  But what was really impressive was him catching the bunt.  He did a good job for his first game.  We didn't win (Rangers 11 - Astros 4) but I think they had a great time.

And Zach going into homeplate for our 1st run!!!

Grand Slam Parade 2012

Today was the annual Grand Slam Weekend at Tomball Little League! It is always an exciting day for the kids. They parade through Tomball showing off their new teams..excited about the year to come. This year Zach is on the Astros! Guess who is Team Mom..lucky me! It's ok the worst part is over! We got to the lot early and got out float..I mean trailer all decorated up. The boys were all into helping blow up the balloons.. well maybe playing with them.. but we got it all decorated up. This year like every other year the weather well.. cold and rainny.. really no different then the past years.. but it made the parade fast this year 20 mins! It was fun and the boys had a blast.
