Go Muckdogs!

We moved to Torrington, Wy around the end of April but I didn't head out until the middle of May because Statton had to have his ear tubes re-done in Twin Falls. When I did get there I was glad to find out that T-ball hadn't really started yet so luckily I was able to get the kids signed up for T-ball for the month of June. They missed the practices they did in May so they just got to play the games. They were drafted to the team called the Muckdogs. There were two games a week for about 4 1/2 weeks. Here is some shots of them before their first game.

 This was before one of their games and they were practicing throwing and catching the ball. It was so cute to see them. Statton loved playing. Cassidy enjoyed it sometimes but would frequently cry between innings and kept asking if they were almost done.

 Statton was so excited to finally play catcher. All the kids wanted a turn so the coaches really tried hard to make it fair for everyone. Something about putting on all the padding. Statton was too short for the shin guards. I think they ended above his waist so they left them off.

 I tell you what watching a bunch of 4-6 yr olds play T-ball is pretty hilarious. It's hard to keep them focused on the batter. Most of the time they're looking at their shoes or turned around or staring into space.

 I loved this picture because the boy on first that day must have been a talker because him and Statton were having some sort of conversation and apparantly dirt was the topic. Statton is showing this little boy the dirt he scooped up.

 The helmets they use to bat and run the bases with were so big on the kids. As you can see Cassidy is holding hers so she can see. She would run the bases holding it up.

 These are some cute pics I got while the kids were waiting for their turn to bat. Pretty cute. They wore their hats backwards so the helmets would fit better.

 T-ball was quite the experience and we really enjoyed it. Plus I loved having an activity to attend in the evenings. Like I said before the whole T-ball thing was right up Statton's ally. He loved throwing the ball and batting. No matter where he was outfield whenever the ball was hit he was running after it. Cassidy could have cared less and probably would have loved to quit but we kept encouraging her to do it. She was happy to stand in the outfield and chew on her mitt. Funny kids!
