The three of us: All Star Weekend

Okay, so as promised, here is a run down of the games this weekend and then some photos. Jamie's first game was Saturday at 9am vs. the All Star Royal Blue team. Jamie's Red Sox teammate Colin, was on this team. Jamie played in right field and got quite a few balls his way. One was hit to him and he fielded it, then threw it to first base and got the third out of the inning! He was so excited that he did this little happy gallop into the dugout-it was really cute...and his coach joined him for the gallop. Batting for this game was good. He went 2 for 3. His first at bat he nailed one to the shortstop, who happend to be Colin, and he caught it! Jamie was a little upset, but recovered quickly:) In the second inning, our team was on the field and the bases were loaded with no outs. Their batter hit one toward our short stop--he caught it (amazing enough...but wait) then ran to 2nd base to tag out the runner who had taken off, then he threw the ball to home where the catcher tagged out the runner coming in....a triple play! In Peewee baseball! It was insane and awesome--I don't think I've heard louder cheering. So here are a few photos from the first game. Some are courtesy of my friend Ruth, who rocks at taking good photos. It was neat that their whole family got to see Jamie--he was particularly excited that Elisha was there. So I've included a couple of pictures of Bethany & Elisha, because they're so cute. Oh, and the neat thing was Jamie got a jersey with his name embroidered on it & a number of his choice--he chose #51, just like Ichiro!

Check out this picture Ruth got of Jamie grabbing this ground ball--this is the one he threw to the first baseman & got the third out.

So now, on to the second game. It was today, Sunday at 11am. We played against the All Star Navy Blue team for first place. Jamie got to play right field again and did good. He also went 2 for 3 again, and popped out at his first at bat again. His third at bat was really good--he slammed one into the outfield! We ended up going into the bottom of the sixth tied 16-16. We ended up getting a run, and they called the game at 17-16. We won! All the kids were excited. It was a blast. After the game, all the kids (on both teams) got certificates from JOBL for making the All Star team. I, of course, got plenty of pictures. So now I shall add a few more pictures for your enjoyment:) Jamie had a great time this weekend and loves baseball second (behind school, according to him). Oh, and I'm including a picture of Jamie in his 'army gear'. He got all dressed up, then battled the forces all the way up the stairs for a top secret mission--to get the dirty laundry! :)
