Where's our bumper sticker?

Dearest Jackson and Colt,

We might not drive a mini-van any more and our cars aren't adorned with stickers -- but we are 100% "<insert sport here>  Parents"! 

There is only 1 (two, if we're lucky) night each week that we aren't with y'all on either a baseball diamond or a soccer field.

Colt, you've been asking to join a team sport for almost a year now!  We told you that kids in diapers aren't allowed on teams and I think that ended up being a small part of your eventual potty training success.  When registration time came, we tried to sway you towards gymnastics, dance class, or soccer....but you were adamant about wanting to play baseball.  You were placed on the Bulldogs and you became a team player right away (a very different approach than the one your brother took)!

 Your first ever game had unseasonably cold weather!

 But your enthusiasm kept you warm for your first time at bat.

 Way to make it to 1st!

 The post-game snack was one of your favorite parts : )

Here are a few more scenes from your most recent game...

Could you be any happier to be running towards home plate???

 3 and 4 year olds have amazing sportsmanship!

Jackson, you are becoming a veteran at this point.  You are playing your fourth season of soccer and your sixth season of baseball.  Your soccer team is new (yet again) this year but it's my favorite so far!  Your coach played Division I soccer and he has a knack for coaching.  (You played indoor soccer with him this summer so I might've mentioned this already.?.?.)  He also recruited you to play in an Academy league for him so that has taken things to another level.

First rec. game

 First academy game

 The academy fields are huge!!  I can barely see your sweet footwork!

These Tigers are in their 3rd season together.

Which means you and Tyson are in your 3rd season together.

 In 7U, the coaches have to pitch from a standing position AND from further away.  You still make great contact with the ball, though!

 Only a few games in and we're already getting special requests for next season.  Colt, you want to play soccer.  And, Jax, you say you're ready for football.  

We're not going to be able to see out of the back window with all these stickers!!
