Spring ball '10

Another ball season is over. I love to see it start and love to see it end. This year was a little more crazy because Julianna wanted to play. She has been patiently watching Arianna and Asher play for 5 years. She knew this year she was old enough to play. Having Anna Grace has made it a little more hectic as well. But we survived, and had a lot of fun watching many, many games. It is usually towards the end of the season that I realize that I haven't taken any pictures. In fact, I didn't take any of Arianna.

Asher alternated between pitcher, catcher and short stop. He is a very active player, and very aware of every play. Often between batters you would see him "fake" throwing to first. At the beginning of the season he would take the easy walk to first, and by the end of the season he showed more confidence and starting hitting. Asher played for the Cubs.

Arianna played 3rd base for the Lady Gators. She improved greatly this year in hitting and throwing and confidence. However, it was a l-o-n-g season. She was on a new team with very few experienced playing and pitching wasn't their strength. We watched many, many walks, but they supported each other and had fun playing. Next year girls! Go Gators!!
