Baseball Summer

We have two boys playing competitive ball. It's been a busy summer. Our 2011 season has come to a close. With the summer temps I am happy it is finished, however I will miss watching them play.
Both boys played in World Series Tournaments. It was very exciting.
Our youngest, Ya-Ya, had an awesome week!

2nd Place World Series USSSA 8U

Ya Ya with his coach

The umpires of each World Series nominate players from each position for an All Star or All Tournament Team.

Ya-Ya was nominated for 2nd base. He was 7 at the time the series started. His team was one of the youngest playing. The umps vote on the player that they see as most deserving throughout the series. 

Ya-Ya won for 2nd base, we were just a little surprised?! A few of the umps talked to him after the medal ceremony. They told him he played as well as some high school players they umped?! All of them said he was a tough, lil' competitor. They encouraged him to keep playing, make good grades & stay out of trouble :) We are so proud of him!

Can you tell it's hot & the boys are tired?!

Love my Boys!

Football begins this week. Pray for me.
