On March 31st, Zach tried out for a baseball team the South Cache Stallions. He found out that night that he made it and they would be playing in a tournament that weekend...April 4-5 in Twin Falls, ID. We made the mad rush to get all that he needed for his uniform that week and we headed to Twin. We weren't able to watch his games on Friday because of my class, so we traveled up Friday evening (sent him with a team mate) and stayed with friends in Burley. They lost the two games on Friday. On Saturday, they won their first game. Between the two games, we ran to the mall and had something to eat. When we got back to the second game, we scanned the field to see where #7 was playing.....I about fell off my seat when I saw him on the pitcher's mound! WOW, he had just told us that he didn't think he was ready to pitch before we dropped him off.
Okay, now for the proud mom post...for the past 4 years, Zach has played on a team where the coach never let him pitch. Previous to that coach, he pitched and he did quite well. (plus he is a lefty--a bonus). So, at the try out, the coach had Zach pitch a few. He told him to turn his hand this way and do it and wala--a curve ball. The coach was impressed and the next thing we know, he is pitching the game!! He ended up pitching the entire game and WINNING! It was so awesome (plus the coach who never pitched him was watching the game--his son is also on the Stallions).
What a proud moment for us!! He is really excited to be playing for the Stallions this year. He won't be playing the normal rec Pony league this year--which makes life a little easier on us! Tanner is playing on a Superleague team as well--South Cache Cubs and on a rec team. He has try outs for his rec team on Tuesday. He is excited to see what team he'll be on. Kaden will be playing machine pitch one more year (they moved the birthdate up to April 30--so you have to be 9 before April 30 to play up the next league). We are so happy that he gets to play machine pitch again. His coaches, the Tripletts will be coaching in Nibley because their son wasn't going to be able to play in Providence due to his birthday -- so Kaden will be playing with them in Nibley. He is looking forward to that starting.
Tanner, Kaden and Brynn are also signed up for Swimming lessons in August. Now we just need to get through the last weeks of school (luckily it's not even warm yet so no spring fever is setting in!! ha ha) and let the summer begin!
OH..Brynn has started soccer. Her first practice was Tuesday...she'll play in her first game next Thursday....should be fun!
I guess we have a great name for our blog--all we ever seem to talk about are sports!! We are busy with lots of other things as well!
