Who's Keepin' Score?!

Cole's coach-pitch team is quite a bit more die-hard than Dane's leisurely t-ball pace, the latter in which the score is still fun-fun with the Astros in the lead:)
However, Cole & his Mets team are benefitting thus far from their arduous practices in the form of undefeated season., which is fun when it's the first season in which there are 3 outs (or 4 runs)-Cole is batting .750 we figure....thinks he needs a new glove, but not if he's retiring after this season as rumor has it?! In meantime, he has been borrowing Dad's since seems more confident with bigger target in the outfield:) Tried to practice catching pop-flies with football helmet so not afraid o' the smaller ball comin' @ 'em, but not sure it really worked 'cuz they were kinda opposed to whole idea. We are thrilled if they make contact when @ bat and will settle for "bunts" since neither really understands that he might risk getting someone else out with hit via infield?! Oh well! Has made for some crazy evenings with their double-headers in diff locations and lots o' dinners on the run, but we have made it even if didn't leave much time to warm up:)
Huey will sure gain some experience watching his bros for 5 yrs before he has a chance to take a swing on a team of his own! We are already putting most of our athletic stock in the youngest, but certainly not too late for others...I just read a book re: raising successful & happy children that basically said they have a choice of what activity in which they want to participate, but doing nothing is not an opt. so we'll see what's next--trying to enjoy this season and hope they will too even if after the fact?!

Thanks to Grandpa Gar, Grandma Neecy, Aunts Britt/Cait/Brooke, "Aunt" Jami, Uncle Rich & even lil' Ben for coming to cheer on the Parker boys:) You should all be proud esp of their dad for skipping the holy Husky spring game for one of Dane's --sadly those conflicts are bound to increase as the boys get older with own activities, but even mom slipped in suggestion to skip out on a Fri night but he was committed to his team:) S'pose we should be grateful that dedication is @ least being instilled @ young age eh?
