BASEBALL

Here is who we have been cheering for the past three months


This baseball season was an interesting one. JJ got hit by a pitch early on but seemed to be okay. Next game he got hit pretty good in the arm. He swelled up pretty bad and had a nice bruise for weeks. This scared him todeath and he never really played the same after that.



Also the weather was crazy. We did not have one hot game. Rain was another story. We were rained out of three games, two games were called due to rain, and one was suspended. It was a very wet season, but I will take it over the heat.

Emma, Ellie, and Elsie supported JJ at every game. They played on the playground, played dolls on the blanket, got lost, cried, ate a lot of treats, colored, cheered, played soccer, and made lots of friends. One of the fun things was they got meet the Bee from the Bees. They thought that was pretty cool.
JJ had a lot of support this year. Mama and Papa came to a ton of the games. I appreciated this because I was the score keeper. Jeron was late to a lot of games due to work. With four kids I needed the extra hands. JJ was thrilled to have their support. JJ had the whole Meads fam to one of the games including Maren.This was an intense game. The rain was pouring and we were all soaking wet but it was a blast. Besides JJ's parents Ashlee and Smitty were the only troopers that sat threw all the rain. Everyone else went to the car.

The next game he even got to have Ryan come. It was Ryan's first pit stop in Davis County. After the game we all headed to dinner to celebrate the whole family being together.

ON the morning of the Playoffs we were sure the games would get canceled due to rain. The sun decided to make a brief appearance so that the boys could play. This must of tricked Mama and Papa cause they both came in short sleeve shirts.

They lost both games in the double header so playoffs came to a quick end. As they were receiving their trophies a monsoon came. We all got drenched. I was worried about Mama, Papa, Grandma, and Grandpa running back to their cars but everyone made it without falling. We were soaked to the skin, but a little rain never hurt anyone.

JJ was cute When he got in the car he said "I am really going to miss baseball." He had a rough start and it looked like he might want to be done by the end, so I was glad to hear him say he would miss it.

We are sad to see another season pass but excited for carefree summer nights. JJ is so grateful for all the support that he got this year from family. He is hoping that the offer of $50 bucks to hit the ball stands for next season :)

I hate rain when you just want to sit and enjoy a baseball game. Looks like all had fun. To bad JJ hurt his arm, hopefully by next season he will have forgotten all about it!!
