Hall of Fame

Dear Jax,

Saturday marked the end of your very first tee ball season.  I was camera-ready for game one so, of course, I was ready again for your last game of the year.  You played your sweet heart out and seemed to really enjoy it all!
Your first at-bat of your last game...
tongue out and you were focused!


You were already on first while your opponent was waiting for the ball ; )


Some guys slide into home...instead, I caught you doing this cute jump, hop, action onto the plate.


While you were busy being an all-star, your brother pretended to be the team's bat boy.


He also played groundskeeper for the empty field next door.


Last time batting...for this year...


Look how proud you were after crossing home plate!
(Sorry that my shot makes you look one-legged.)


Your high fives and "good game"s are one of my favorite parts!


This is the smile of a boy who is truly having a good time.


And this is the smile of a boy who was THRILLED last night when he got a ball and a trophy from his coach at his team's end-of-the-year party!


I hope you retain your enthusiasm for sports and that your good sportsmanship stays with you for years to come. 
We are so proud of you, #6!
