Thad and Ashton are going to be playing baseball this spring to Steven's great excitement, as he was a pitcher in his formative years. The boys are getting really excited. We don't have schedules yet but Thad has had his assessment and is on the "Rockies"! We have a parent/coach meeting on Wednesday. Steven and I are looking forward to meeting the coach and the other parents. Thad wants to play second base, so we'll see how it shakes out. Here are some shots from the assessment he had last week.
Thad getting some practice in with Dad.
Lining up for the field assessment.
Ground ball drills.
Pop fly drills. Thad caught the third one!
Getting ready to take bat. The last ball he hit. This was his first time batting with a pitching machine. He went to the plate with authority! Way to go buddy!
Mom and Dad Lawrence this video is for you. As some of you may be aware Steven has the slow motion running gene. This is a standing joke for Steven and his family. We were hoping that Thad didn't inherit this, but alas it looks like he may have. Luckily he has a good attitude and doesn't give up. Here's the video of his run. The other boys ran to second between 7 to 8 seconds. Thad was at 9.22. Awe well, he's got a good arm like his Dad, so there's hope. :)
I've been dreaming of a garden since we bought our house last year and now I'm planting seeds! Here is my garden space on the side of our house. I hope to have it full of wonderful things to eat through out this season!
These are the type of seeds I'm starting with. I ordered a few online as well that my best friend suggested!
You'll see the boys planted snake gourds. Man were the boys excited to plant these. In the photo they are making a hissing sound!
Happy gardening everyone!
