Busy Busy. That's my life. This spring we've had games almost every night of the week, sometimes 2 games a night (which gets tricky getting each kid to their field, when dad is traveling 1/2 the time). But the kids have really had a good time which makes it worth it. Riley really has grown so much this season, she's fielding well and she's probably the best hitter on her team.

Her favorite position is pitcher (even though the coach pitches...the girls hit the ball to her a lot and she runs it in to get them out). She's really a good little ball player, she got a double just last night.
It's Cade's 2nd season with t-ball and he's a little...well, he's less focused. He really enjoys being out there, getting dirty, and messing around with all his buds. Sometimes you find him doing this, on base...playing in the dirt or he'll be sitting down in the outfield (well...in his defense, it can get boring out there).
Cade is one of 5 Cade/Caden's on his team. It's a bit ridiculous. Coach asked him if he had a nickname and Cade told Coach he could call him Donkey Kong. (He often refers to himself as Donkey Kong. Funny side story: when I had him come to sign my mom's Mother's Day card, he gets up to the card, grabs the pen, looks at me and says, "How do you spell Donkey Kong".) Silly Boy. Aren't they cute?
