More Wins and Hair Bows

This week the Flames were able to bring in two more wins. They are on FIRE!!! (pun intended) This week Chloe played a little third base, but she mostly caught and pitched. Oh yeah and she got two doubles. Go Flames!!! One of the Mom's found these cute hairbows online that match the girls uniforms perfectly and ordered them for the whole team. The girls love them, and I have to admit I'm not a big hair bow person, but they are pretty cute!

 Look how dirty this girl is after she has spent the night catching. #catcherproblems

Bryce is seriously such a trooper, and honestly for as many ball games he gets dragged around to I would have to say he is pretty dang well behaved. We decided he definitely deserves a snow cone. In fact one at every game we go to if he wants one-lol. It's kind of become a tradition for him. Baseball/Softball game = Snow Cone.

His favorite flavor is coconut. He also likes pina colada and tigers blood.

Flames with Another Win (back to back soccer and softball games)

Since Chloe plays year-round soccer, there is always the chance of their being some conflict once softball season rolls around. Usually we are pretty lucky in it all working out, but every now and then we have games or practices on the same day. This time Chloe had a soccer game in Hurricane and then a Softball Game in Bloomington. She went to her soccer game and played and then we rushed to the softball game. She got there just as the last inning was starting. Landon had her play outfield. Then luckily she got a turn to hit and was able score a run for her team.

 It won't be long until this little guy is stepping into the batters box. He can't wait. He thinks it is so fun to try on the girls helmets and we already know he loves practicing his hitting. Hopefully he will be a great hitter one day.

Starting the Season with some Wins

Softball Season is officially in full swing. After holding several practices and the first few games the team has officially adopted Bryce as their team mascot. LOL He honestly thinks he is part of the team. All of the girls love him! He talks with them, hits and catches with them, and even runs bases. They all get a kick out of it and some of the girls say he can hit better then they can-HAHA!

 

 Chloe's favorite position to play is catcher and for the most part that is where she plays. However, she also pitches, and when Landon gets a really wild hair plays a little third base. Usually Chloe pouts though, so he usually just lets her catch. Seriously though she is the best catcher on the team, so we usually want her there anyways.

Chloe loves the Hunger Games. She reminds Landon and I of Katniss with her attitude and spunk. It was only fitting that her helmet have the mocking jay symbol on it. All of the girls love her helmet and want to wear it if it is available when they are batting. Plus it fits with our team name since we are the Flames-Chloe is officially the "girl on fire". Sorry if you haven't read or watched the Hunger Games this last paragraph is probably gibberish to you.

 During games Bryce spends his time hanging out in the dugout out and learning the cheers or playing at the playground with his BFF Sophie (she is the younger sister to one of the girls on our team).

Chloe Catching

The purple flames have started out great with a 2-0 record. The whole team is "on fire". I think this will be a fun season. Looks like Landon did a good job with his draft picks :) Not only that but the girls really seem to mesh well together and get along, so that makes it even more fun.

Softball Season Begins-first game called early due to rain

Man we have been having a lot of rain around here. The day came for the first softball game of the season and of course it was rainy hard and freezing cold. Landon is coaching Chloe's team again this year. They are the Purple Flames.

Anyways this was not a rainstorm I was willing to sit through, especially with Bryce. Honestly I couldn't believe they didn't cancel it to start with. So Bryce and I opted to sit in the truck and watch what we could, which really wasn't much. After two innings they finally called the game, and honestly if it was up to the girls they would have kept playing the whole thing they were having a ball playing in the rain and mud, despite the cold. Of course Chloe asked for hot chocolate as soon as she got in the truck.
