Free Photography and a Red Sox

 I LOVE these toes!!!  They are Tanner's monkey toes.  They have always been like this, and they are perfect for wearing flipflops.  It is always easy to put flipflops on these toes, and he has never complained about his big toe hurting like Camden did when he first started wearing flipflops.

As you can see, this picture was taken by Tanner.  He must have taken 30 pictures of his toes.  He too must think they are awesome!  I can't believe HOW MANY pictures a kid can take in the 5 minutes you let him play with the camera.  Camden used to do this and I loved it.  I love seeing what they see at their level, what they like to photograph, and what's important to them.  I will not be sharing the lovely pictures he took of me doing my hair, changing his diaper, and being on the computer.  Those are not pretty.  But I will share with you his new love for Play-Doh and how he requests to play with it EVERY day.

 As an OCD mother...this picture makes me proud.  So lined up...so straight. *wipe tear*

Okay, now to get to my photography, which was NOT GOOD on this butt cold freezing day.  Opening Day for baseball was on April 2nd.  Each team was to have their team banner for the march around the bases.  Thanks to some mom on the team for making it so we only had to pay $3 instead of $10 for a professionally made one. 

 As you can tell...Camden is on the RED SOX.  He is in t-ball and we are loving it.  He bats left, but is still undecided on what arm he wants to throw with.  He is number 9.  He loves that number.
 These poor 5 year olds were so cold.  It was extremely windy and low temperatures with icy wind is not fun, especially when playing ball.  He did good though, hit the ball, got on base, ran the bases, and played first base when in the field.  He is very excited to be playing this sport.  Soccer was not so fun for him. 
 Here is Coach T.J. with the kids ready to march the bases.  They were #2 out of 60!  It was insane and it took forever.  But it was sooooo cute and worth seeing these little guys in big pants and  league sweatshirts that looked like nightgowns.  He has 2 friends from church on his team, Chase and Ashton which we are very excited about too.
There they go.  I was like a giddy little school girl watching him.  I have been waiting 5 years to be a baseball mom.  13 more years of watching his baseball games.  Yippee!

I wish I would have given the camera to the girls more often. I love seeing what they see. I love Bug's toes and I can't wait to watch Bear play our favorite sport! Batter up! Remember when Sean C fell in the creek by the grange. He stunk like gross water. LOL.

Hello Coach T.J. That's really why you are going to enjoy 13 more years of games... baseball uniforms. Can't wait to see those toes in person. Ella sits like Tanner all the time and it makes me smile.
