Spring Season of Blastball

It was an eventful season. Blake made some great friends that I hope we can stay in touch with. A lot of them came to his birthday party too. There was a closing ceremony last Monday. It was so fun. We all got on the field with all the other teams and this time around the kids actually stayed in the in field with us. At opening ceremonies they were tackling each other in the outfield. hehehe They have come so far. Scott and I loved coaching! We will be doing it again this summer for Orange Crush. Blake got a medal for his participation and he was the first one to go. It caught me off guard. It was so sweet and of course I started to tear up. He is just growing so fast and he is having so many firsts and will have in the next few months. It just hit me and I started to choke up. Anyways. I must tell the story about the last game because I plan on telling Blake's girlfriends all about it someday. :-) We were playing last Saturday and Blake was running to the outfield which he sometimes does. He called to Scott to come and chase him and we decided we weren't going to make it a game for him so we wouldn't follow. We continued playing the game with the rest of the team and looked back at Blake to keep an eye on him. About that time I saw Blake grab himself! I thought, "OH NO!!" I sent Scott after him, but of course he was too late. Blake dropped his pants and peed in right field in front of the entire stands and everyone. And let me be clear. I do not have a shy son! He was showing it off! There was not a person in the stands who didn't see it apparently. I did mention to my Dad that I blame him for that display after he was joking with me about it. I did remind him that since he went to Grammie and Papa's house where Papa let him pee outside he looks for opportunities to do just that. LOL It was hysterical really, but only because he is 3. Papa said we needed to go check right field for a dead circle. LOL Just when I think Blake has surprised me with everything he could possibly do, I get a curve ball like that! LOL The summer season starts after we get back from Missouri to see Jody graduate from boot camp at the end of June. :-)
