DIVISION CHAMPS!!!

Trey's baseball team, the Florida Marlins, finished the season with a 9-2-1 record to become the 7 & 8 year old Division Champs!!! We are so proud of Trey and the entire team!!!

The first jerseys that the team received had the sponsor name misspelled on the back. So we had to send them back. Then we spent several weeks as the mismatched misfits:-)
We were all so very happy when our new jerseys finally came in!!!Jesse hanging out in the dugout! He can't wait until he's old enough to play!

Rainbows mean puddles to play in!Coach Bryan telling the team that they are Division Champs!
Trey and his newest pride and joy, his championship trophy!
He is very protective of it and won't let anyone touch it!

Batter, Batter, BASEBALL!!!

Trey is playing baseball for the first time this year. (For now, I am using the term "playing" very loosely!) You see it's like this, did I mention that Trey is playing for the very, very first time?! And he is VERY EXCITED to be playing! However, most of the kids on his team have been playing for a few years already and have gotten all the "playing in the dirt and dancing around in the outfield" type stuff out of their system by now. Also, Trey is one of the youngest boys on his team. He plays with the 7/8 year old Boys Flea League. You have to be 7 by May 1st to play in this age group and Trey just turned 7 in February. Many of his teammates will be 9 this summer! So he has a lot to learn. Which has not been easy with the lousy weather we're having this spring. We've had several practices and two scrimmage games canceled because of rain! But we have been VERY BLESSED with VERY PATIENT coaches and he is learning! He even got a "HOME RUN" (again I'm using the term very loosely) during a scrimmage game a couple of weeks ago! Unfortunately, Mommy missed it because I was at Jesse's birthday party:-( He's also learning teamwork! This past week he had his first game. On the same day that we had tickets for Disney on Ice. We left the decision up to him and he instantly said that he wanted to go his game because after all it was his VERY FIRST game and he didn't want to let his team mates down. What a kid! Mommy, however, was VERY SAD that I missed Trey's very FIRST game because I was having a wonderful time at Disney on Ice with Jesse and the family. But I will be there next time, camera in hand!
