Play Ball!!

Tucker made the 10 year old All-Star Baseball team
and the games are being played in Cedar City,
so Granny and I loaded up Monday and headed
south to see him play. As Granny put it,
"what better do we have to do?" and "you
know I love all kinds of baseball!"

When you are #5 in the family, you
are packed up and going wherever the
rest of the gang is headed...so Mr. Sully...only
three weeks old was at the ball diamond in
the scorching heat and intermittent rain.
Lucky me...I got to hold this little bundle the
ENTIRE game.
He doesn't seem any worse for the wear, does he?

Tucker is #13 and Bob is the assistant coach.
I love how Tucker has his Dad's exact same stance.


Gill, Gwyn and Abe kept themselves busy
eating snow-cones and chasing ground hogs.

And Granny was totally in her element.
Her comment the next day was,
"Too bad it's so far to go...we could catch
another game today!"
Sully woke up for a bit and got to come out
of his shade shelter during a little cloud cover...
that turned into a downpour.
He's changing really fast, isn't he?
Well, Tucker's team lost their first game but
Tucker did awesome! He had some great
plays on first base, pitched a really good inning,
and hit really well too. I have a feeling we
are going to get to watch LOTS of games for this
boy in the years to come. Sure hope so!
It was a lot of driving but it was well worth the effort.
Love this boy to the moon!
XOXO
