If you don't know it yet, the Tampa Bay Rays are number one in baseball right now. Its an exciting time in our house as Kyle has always been a fan of baseball, but now Isaac is old enough to have an interest too. Since Isaac's first trip to a major league game in the spring, he has had a big interest in being a baseball player. He became even more of a fan when he say his second cousin Isaiah Cullum (who is REALLY good) play a little league game. He came home from the game with knowledge of the dug out happenings, running bases, hitting and pitching. And since then he has gone to several TB Rays games with Kyle.
Now that its baseball season; the football, helmet, and marching band have been taking long break. So instead we hold daily pitching and batting practice sessions (sometimes 4 a day) out in the front yard. Isaac has quite an arm when it comes to pitching. He can throw you a strike when he pays attention. He can also hit a pitched ball quite well. He needs some work on fielding and catching, especially using a glove. What I really love about practicing with him is that he loves to takes turns batting and pitching, so I don't get stuck doing one or the other.
Prema has gone to a couple games too. Once she touched the live rays, scanned the crowd a few times, and watched the mascot Raymond dance a bit, she is no longer interested. She just wants to leave and get ice cream (which she will ask you about the entire game over and over and over and over again).
Prema thought it was funny to wear her hat and make this face.

Isaac you look just like a professional baseball player in this picture. You have the cutest smile ever.
Prema you look really cute. Such a funny face. I like the picture better when you are looking at the rays.

love the bonk beds story. so funny! haven't seen pics of eli lately, is he getting more mobile? i'm sure you have your hands full this summer, but sounds like some fun times too.
Isn't this a fun time. I love helping, and watching Chris improve with his baseball skills, and can remember the times with the plastic bat in the front yard. Before you know it both boys and maybe even Prema will be out on the field. Chris' skills now far surpasses me, and I just stand in awe. He is going to his first major league game with Heather and Barry tomorrow to watch the Rangers- he is so excited.
