Baseball Party!

Saturday was the end of the year party for the Sand Fleas. AJ presented Daddy with his own trophy!

Coach Trevor gave AJ his trophy!

This is our whole team minus a couple and plus one who jumped in when I wasn't looking!

Fall Baseball

Fall baseball has started! Ok, it started awhile ago it just took me awhile to get pics!

Trophy Time!

We had our end of the year party. We decided to be brave and had the team over to our house for some backyard baseball and a BBQ.

AJ was very excited to get his trophy from Coach Josh.

Sorry It Has Been So Long!

We haven't had a computer for quiet awhile and I had to use my mom's camera but we are up and running again here are a few things that have happened in the last couple of months!

AJ got an award for Sunshine Math!

We are the Champions!

On the last day of T-ball the coaches awarded Eli with his very first trophy!

On AJ's last game for the season they also awarded him with a trophy. Coach Aldric also received one.

GO WARD BOYS!

6 + 6 = 14?

Today both AJ and Eli had a game. AJ won his game 14 to 7. He went 4-5, a double, 3 singles, 4 RBI's, 4 runs scored and a great defensive play.

Eli got to slide home twice and came home very very dirty!

Take Me Out To The Ball Game!

Last night it was the Aldrics who had to put up a good showing for the Ward Family. AJ decked out in his #6 and Daddy in his #14 played the first baseball game for the fall season.

AJ played second base.

After a tough win AJ got to celebrate with a homemade brownie from the coaches wife, while his brothers look on with envy! AJ went 3 for 3 and scored 3 runs. Go Baby Blue!

First Day of T-Ball

It was time for T-ball for Eli last night. After a full day of school the boys suited up in preparation of watching Mr. E step up to bat!

Don't let the smiles fool you. When he comes up to bat he is nothing but business.

Mr. E swings for the fences with all he is worth. He than run like the wind for the 1st base.

Of course no game is complete without a little dirt on the pants. He slides in to each base with no concern for where the ball actually is!

Mr. E feels he is such a pro that he doesn't actually need to touch the base to score.

While his Mom, Dad, Grandma and both brothers watch from the stands he hams it up for the camera while in the dugout.

Manatee Night with the Mets!

Tuesday night was Manatee Night with the Mets. It was us, the Ancewicz's, John and his sons, and my mom and dad. We had a fun night full of hot dogs and popcorn mixed with a lot of baseball.
Aldric was picked to get on top of the Mets dugout and answer a Mets trivia question which he got right. He was given and Adult Small t-shirt. He lovingly gave it to AJ.
AJ took place in a tricycle race. They gave the other kid a head start and AJ fell off the tricycle which was way to small for him. He did not win but he did walk out of the stadium with a free hot dog coupon.

We Like Silver!

Today against The Storm The Raptors put up a good fight. AJ and his team came in Second place. Its okay though we prefer Silver. Our buddies Sal, Kelli, Vinny, Nick, Ed and Nicole all came to cheer him on.

I am glad to say that our team was the best team out there. Not once did anyone through a fit or become a poor sport when things didn't go our way.
We have to say a big Thank You to our coaches: Coach Raj (head coach, Ian's dad, far right), Coach Aldric (our favorite coach of all), Coach Trevor (Ricky's dad), and last but not least Coach Jorge (Alejandro's dad). These men worked their butts of for this team.

Wish Us Luck!

Tonight was the second to last baseball game. Tomorrow morning we will be facing our arch nemesis The Storm in the championship game. We barely squeaked out a win tonight against the Rattlers and we need a lot of luck to win the team that has beat us every time we have played them. So lets hear Lets Go Raptors from all our family and friends. Nicole and the kids are coming to cheer AJ on. Either way we are very proud of AJ and the team for trying their hardest and giving it their all.

AJ's First Baseball Game

The Raptors, AJ's team, won their very first game. AJ did hit and score on his second time at bat. It was an outstanding win of 11 to 4. We have our second game on Saturday. Go Raptors!

Baseball and Haircuts

Mr. AJ had his opening day today for baseball. He may be the smallest on the team but by no means does his size affect his game. He was 2 for 2 and was the only one to make it to 2nd base on his team. His team may have lost but it was great to watch.

His baby brothers watched from the bleachers while daddy and AJ warmed up for his 2nd turn at bat. Eli and Omar were very amazed to see their big brother out there in all his glory.

To continue on with brotherly spirits we decided that they all needed matching haircuts. Of course though Eli and Omar did not quiet like the new do's but AJ is used to it. Aldric was sad to see Eli's curls go, but if you ask me it was a much needed change.
