All American boy....

At the ball field watching Daddy and Uncle Gavin play ball.  

This boy LOVES balls and anything that goes with it.

Keeping a close eye on the game 

 If you look real close you can see that he looks a little dejected.

Carson kept going to the end of the fence where you can enter onto the field, 

when I told him to stop he would peek at me out of the
corner of his eye without turning his head, all the while stepping his feet sideways to try and
get on the field, ha ha sneaky boy.

Mean old grandma wouldn't let him out on the field while the men were playing.

Me and my ball buddy, 

I love this little one and imagine that someday I'll be watching him play too.

30 years and counting....

For most of my married life, it's an event that our family has looked forward too every summer.

 The annual Church of Christ Softball tournament in Fairbault, MN

Our kids were toddlers then, now the boys are playing along side their dad

 and my daughter has her own little ones to tend to  :)

It's a team that has evolved and changed over the years, this year 3 of the early year originals were there.  My husband (orange shirt), Russ (gray-green shirt) and Steve (green Jesus shirt). 

This was Steve's 35th year of playing.

 Over half of the team this year was related in one way or another.

"I got it, no I got it"......

Ben & Joe, (brothers) my husbands second cousins once removed

(are you confused yet)

Below Steve, (my husbands 2nd cousin) is snuggling my grandson

 all the while missing his granddaughter's who are in TN

My two boys (right & Left), my son-in-love in the middle

Uncle Gavin taking a break between innings to play with Audrey

 Uncle Brice got a smile out of Carson, aint nothing sweeter!

My guy.... He's still got it!!! 

Cheering on our team...year after  year 

My daughter being the good mommy that she is

 I love that my adult children still play together

 Good times...you shoulda heard the giggles  :)

Audrey has the full attention of Christa and Moose.

Who could resist that sweet little voice when it says,"will you play with me"?

See, I dont always have a camera in my hands   :)
