Trophy

May 30, 2012
Tonight was Pearl's last Tball game.

I was really torn about going or not because it's also Wednesday.  Which means it's YW night... and we were going to Boondocks. I felt it was a lose-lose no matter what I picked. I could be a bad mom or a bad YW leader. In the end, I figured it would be easier to live with my kids and husband if I didn't abandon them one more night.

I'm glad I went. My parents surprised Pearl and showed up right before the game started. We didn't think they'd be able to get off work to see her last game but they did! Pearl ran over and jumped into their arms. Cole was busy practicing his swings but yelled, "Gampa!" and smiled the moment he saw them.

I think Jeff is glad to have Tball over with. It was starting to get hot and he was running out of ideas to keep 10 kids busy while they waited for their turn to bat. I think all the kids had a lot of fun. All of them made progress during the season - even if it was to just not have to go to the bathroom during the game! The kids had a blast tackling him after the game, learned some cheers (the "twins'" dad told us they did a "Go Dodgers!" - the team's rival - during sacrament meeting one week!), were able to hit the ball with coach pitch, and even learned to run the bases.

But the trophies were the biggest hit of the entire season! Jeff even got one for himself... to use as a Dundie award at work.
