Christmas Morning!

Boys & Dogs who LOVE Baseball.

Having to wrest your beloved baseball out of the
mouth of large dog, REPEATEDLY, teaches
you something. Throwing down with an animal
twice your body weight...you learn how to handle
yourself a little bit.

The lecture on the mound...THIS is MY ball.

The catcher deals with interference.

And again...pick up, throw, catch plus
lots of interesting faces and some spit.


You MUST spit. There IS spitting in baseball.


He LOOKS ready. He's ready, RIGHT?

He looks innocent enough BUT don't be fooled.
He's STALKING.


AND he steals it AGAIN.


Are you ready to rumble?


GIMME the ball. DROP IT!


Robey feigns repentance, the boys get that ball and are back at it.


Shaking off his catcher's call and throwing his own stuff.

Catcher's not happy. Pitcher is going it alone.
What will he throw?


And the pitcher brings the blazing HEAT!
YOU'RE OUTTA THERE BATTER! OUCH!


*nOTe* Dear God, when my baby boy is a baseball ROCKSTAR,
please don't let him date Madonna or use steroids. Thanks & Amen.

Lens Lust

I fall victim to camera lens lust on a fairly
regular basis but NEVER quite this badly.
The following pics are shot with a pretty HOT little
piece of glass that runs about 7,000 bucks.

SEE...with a $7,000 lens you can capture a shot series
in which your FABULOUS kid does a GREAT stick and steal
then proceeds on to runaway with the ball and fire off
a monstrous kick worthy of a MLS magazine cover.

OMG...would someone please wipe the drool off my chin.

Like I said, stick and steal...now for the run...

He's in the air here. FREAKIN' amazing...

Pike Fest - Runner's Up

We're still not over the ringers brought in by
the other team...uh, they were...girls.
The pony tail ringers were TOUGH.
#17 BROKE her wrist DURING the game.
INSISTED on playing through with her arm
visibly swelling as she stuck it out for
20 more minutes to score the winning goal
after two overtimes. She was rushed off the field
to the hospital, needless to say.
Overall, two good days of tournament play.
Being runners up...not so bad.
Our very own #16 was awesome both
on the field and in the goal. He did a good
job fighting off those ponytails. ;)
