Tomball Baseball Parade/Grand Slam

Last Saturday was the start of baseball season.  As always they start the season with a parade of all of the teams.  It is fun to see all the kids be so excited about going down Main Street.  This year we got lucky and didn't have a game since there are and odd number of teams.  So we did the parade and then pictures and we were done!

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.

If you would like to see more pictures from the parade check them out on my SmugMug site

Grand Slam Parade

Today was Grand Slam day for baseball.  Zach was so excited when he woke up but we were still trying to find out if we were going to still have a Grand Slam day.  The weather got bad early this morning, it was windy, rainny and COLD!  But it wouldn't be Grand Slam day if the weather didn't play any part in it.. Tim got there early with the trailor and then we followed.  A couple of the moms and I got the trailor all ready and then it was on to find my spot!  Our boys were going to be towards the end but I love seeing all of the different teams.. the kids are always so excited and today was no different.


Here we come see our pirate flag?!?!
