Lisa's All Star team had an end of season party at Barnes Park.
Tons of pizza
Tons of Drinks
I told Lisa she had to play outfield. She Looked like she was having fun hanging out with Sienna in left field the whole night.

David batting at parents vs kids 8/20/2016

Lisa hitting a single at parents vs kids. That morning I took her to to meet up with two of her teammates and they had Ash from Weber State University come teach them how to play catcher. She was really good with the kids and taught them footwork that none of them knew how to do. Lisa asserted herself as the best catcher. She was the only one that could make the throws to second. Now what do we do? Chuck told us to go buy catchers gear, but she has never played and I don't want her pigeon holed at catcher. She has enough on her plate practicing for pitcher.

Eric and Jett

Celebrating after the game - I let the kids buy a drink. I usually don't let them drink a lot of pop, so this was a big deal and they were having fun. David kept trying to get me to taste his suicide drink that he did not like but he described as "refreshing".

Summer 2016

Below are some of the activities we did when I had a camera. Lisa is such a good little player and she has been so fun to watch.

Of course Eric's favorite sport is football and he gets an obscene amount of attention for playing it. I know I did not post a lot of football pictures on here last year, but I will starting next week.

At the school play all the kids had to dress up in these ridiculous ponchos. Somehow Eric and his friend received the main part and wore their football uniforms.

Eric 2016 All-Stars. I coached Eric's team and it was fun.

Lisa performed a solo to the song "Footloose" in her 80's program with the glee club. She did great and I thought was the best performance that night. She is so awesome!

Lisa- wax museum as Sybil Ludington. If I can find the video I will post it.

Lisa and Eric helped me put together this grill. Half way through I got stuck for a moment and asked Lisa to take a look at the instructions. She successfully read through the steps, so I had her read 1 step ahead of me and we put the grill together in record time!

Team meeting after final game of 2016

Miller Sports Park 2016. This was such a fun year. I'm sad that is over. This was our first spring and summer for doing softball and it was fun. We met a lot of new people and made a lot of friends. They improved so much over the season. I always get sad when one of the kid's seasons is over. But then in the blink of an eye, a new season starts. Hello Farmington Eagles! and Hello Sting!

Lisa's biggest Fan!

David

This year has been a fun year in baseball.

I really have not watched David play this year because I have been busy with the other kids. He struck out a lot during the season so I worked with him everyday for a week before the end of season tournament. The first day I started working with him he was difficult, which is why I never worked with him during the year. By the end of the week right before the tournament he figured out he was getting better and that I was only trying to help him so he was more receptive and wanted help. He never struck out during the tournament and had some awesome hits.

He also really likes his friends on the team.

The Tournament was 6/14/2016 through 6/17/2016.

Double header Championship game 6/17/2016
David's Team won the tournament.

David was already good friends with Thurber (from Eric's team last year and this year) and Curtis from the neighborhood. On Thursday David and Evan spent the whole day swimming together in his pool.

David's assistant coach congratulating him.

David running the bases. He scored a lot this week.

Cardinals

Eric and Lisa are both playing on the on the Cardinals this year. Coach Burt is awesome with the kids. This team had great chemistry, or maybe it's because as they get older all the flunkie kids and parents quit playing. They all get along pretty well. Burt is also the football coach for the kids a year older than Eric. That will be good for the future.

This was the funniest thing. I'm glad I got a picture of it. Lisa (P) and Eric (1B) making plans in between innings.

David playing on Yankees team. He is more about talking with the other kids than about playing ball. We had one of the parents take David to a game and she remarked "How does David know every kid at the park?" He does know a lot of people his age and he also knows a lot of siblings from Lisa and Eric.

Can't remember who we played this day but Lisa struck out 5/6 batters. She throws a lot of strikes.

Game on 5/31/2016

06 04 2016

The kids have been playing a lot of baseball. It sure is fun watching them play. Today Lisa received a game ball for pitching a great game in Sandy against West Bountiful. Coach Eric is so good with the kids. Both Lisa and Eric made things happen. They are fun to watch.

Eric throwing the ball back to the pitcher after laying a tag on the runner at third. Eric asked Coach Eric if he could pitch. The coach answered " Why would I have you pitch when I have a witch on third!" Now Eric goes around telling everyone he is the Witch on Third.
