Kali's Tball

Kali had a really short Tball season with the weather.  She had two weeks of practice and two weeks of games (twice a week).  Many of her practices got canceled due to the weather and she missed one game because she was sick, so she only played in 4 games and 2 games were on the same night!!!

Kali only ran to 3rd base one time this season....LOL!  She was aggressive in the field like she was last year.  She was eager to go after the ball, even if it meant taking it away from a boy....sometimes it looked like a wrestling match instead of a tball game when fielding a ball!!! She did good at hitting and she even was able to hit off the coach's pitching the last game.  I think she was 1-3 on that.  After the 2nd game of the double header...she was pretty wiped and the closer she got to the base she was pratically walking to the base....believe me, we definitely had a talk about that one!!  But, overall kali improved from last year and she had fun!!!  That is what it is about!!! 



 
This picutre was taken at Kali's first Tball game...it was terribly windy and I believe that is the night the temps decreased 50 degrees....buuuurrrr!!!
 





 
The last game of the season they played most of it in the rain....but they finished the game. 
 
Here are some pictures of Kali's fans!!!  I think she has the biggest cheering sections!!!  We are very blessed to have a great family that comes out and supports Kali! :)

I love this picture!!!





 
At every birthday, I have a book for each of the kids and each member in the family needs to sign it and write something special about what they remembered or a special story that happend that year.  I know homework at bday parties...but I love reading them each year and I know the kids will love to read them when they get older!!  I LOVE MEMORIES!!!   So, this year they had one more item they had to do before they left the party.  We had gotten a WANTED poster and each person had to get there picture taken in it!!!  SOME of the pictures were priceless...I won't share them all since we had a lot of guest...but I'll share a few!!!
 









 
OMG they still crack me up!!! The birthday party was a success!  Everyone had a good time.  Hoyt got spoiled like always....boy our family really knows how to buy great presents.  Hoyt got guns, fishing poles, clothes, baseball glove....so much great things!  Thank you so much, we greatly appreciate it!!!
