Start of Baseball:Pre-Season

 Tuesday (March 10), the day after we got home from our vacation, Tanner had another double header pre-season game. It was against Canyon View a team from Cedar City. It was actually a pretty sad couple of games. Tanner's team, The Flyers, beat them badly both times. To understand the highlight of the game you need a little background...there is a kid on Tanner's team named Austin Wilde. He is a really small kid. No one thought he had a chance to make the team-but he did. Even his Dad says that he and Austin both know he won't see a lot of playing time. Well during this game Austin got to play quite a bit-and he made a double play. It was awesome to hear the announcer say over the intercom "Austin Wilde-ladies and gentlemen" after he made the play. During the second game Landon and I were both surprised to see Tanner starting as catcher-he hasn't caught in over a year-and in fact I sold all of his catching stuff cause we just figured he wouldn't catch in high-school. He actually did really well, though his throw from home to second was just a little weak(something he can work on). He did well enough though that his coach told him he was going to be one of the main catchers for the rest of the season. He really likes the main coach over the Sophomore team-Cody. Lately all we ever hear at home is Cody this and Cody that-haha. Landon talked to him a few days ago and was like can I give you a little list of things to tell Tanner since he obviously listens to you-he thought that was pretty funny. I think it is going to be a fun year and we should see some good things from Tanner and his team.

Bryce is also happy to be going to baseball games again. He loves to wear his Flyers t-shirt and he always says he is going to watch Tanner drop a bomb. The only thing he doesn't like is that his Tan is gone a lot more than usual to practice, games, and doing stuff with the team.
He is such a little cheeser.
