Finally some competition!

For anyone who knows my family, you will know that we tend to be a little bit on the competitive side...ok, maybe alot:) But..it's all in good fun of course! I've probably mentioned this before, but Josh and I have a habit of turning almost everything into a game....and Josh almost always wins, unless we are playing air hockey and in that case I can usually come out victorious.

Josh would argue with that last statement.

In our town, the kids play t-ball from kindergarten through second grade. In this t-ball league, its strictly instructional with a few scrimmages against the other teams, but definitely no score keeping. This is a good thing for them while they learn the game.

Finally, this year, Jessalyn is on a team that the score is actual kept, strikes/balls/outs are actually counted and in the end their record matters towards something. Jessalyn is on a team that is working very hard and really really enjoying themselves at the same time..at least I know Jessalyn is! She has learned so much in the last month of practicing and now has a couple of games under her belt as well.

She has landed a position at first base which she LOVES...and is doing well with. She's got the stretch down and works very hard to keep her foot on the bag while reaching for the ball.

And..not that it matters...because its all about having fun....but :) we have also won our first two games!

Jessalyn at bat..


at first base..


sliding into home. She was safe:)


My little first baseman. Ok..she's not so little anymore.
..and she's not a man.


A play at first


The runner was safe...but it was close:)


One of my faves of little Molly catching. She might be little...but she is a GREAT player. Not only can Molly throw (she's a great pitcher as well), and catch but she just "gets" it. She knows the game well.


"Good game Moultonboro, thank you officials!"


Many more pics on smugmug of course..in the Events category titled "Softball".
