I Hear Lily Did Well In Baseball

Due to dark forces at work, I was unable to break away and see my beautiful daughter compete in Sault Little League action.

Lisa took Lily to her game, and did a great job of cheering her on along with Trevor and Grandma Nichols. Lisa does a better job of getting pictures, too, as seen by the 'action' shot to the left.

Lily hit the ball really well both times up to bat. Our practice is really paying off. She didn't have anything hit to her in the field, though. Still she had fun and Momma flipped the bill for Burger King after the game. No game next week due to Independence Day. Her pictures will be taken on July 10th at 5:00 before her game.

Another 'Dinger For Lily

Lily had another fun night of Sault Area Little League. She got two more great hits, and the second one her second 'homer' of the career, as she was the last batter for her team. Lily is getting a lot better in the field, too. She made some nice stops on the ball, and a good throw to first. More than that, she's just having a lot of fun.
Just Trevor and I cheering Lily on again this week. Next weeks games have been cancelled due to the holiday (Independence Day). Lily will have her team pictures taken on July, 10 at 5:00.

Lily Blows Away The Competition

It was a windy night in Sault Area Little League action, but Lily rose to the occasion. She had two more good hits in the game. Her first time up, she was the last batter, so she got her first 'home run' of her career. The second time up, she made solid contact because she backed off the plate and hit the ball in her 'power' zone.
Lily got some action in the field in the first inning. She made some good stops on the ball and some good throws. The second inning she only had one hit to her. She can entertain herself, though, if she get s bored.
Just Daddy and Trevor cheering her on again. More game next week.

Lily Plays In The Rain

It was a rainy night in the Soo, but Lily's little league game went on. It did clear up a bit to get both innings in.

Lily hit the ball well again, especially her second hit. She really made good contact with that one. She made a good play in the field the first inning, and had some interesting poses and dances going on in the second inning. She's such a ham, but also a good sport, as she's the first one in line to shake the other team's hands every week.

Trevor and I were the only one's out in the rain this week. With a baby in her 'tummy', Lisa is feeling the sickness that comes with that.

The kids are also enjoying the treats that come after the game, too. Trevor got one this week because they thought he was so cute. That's our boy, and our girl.

Trevor Catches A Pike

In just our second fishing outing of the season, Trevor snatched an 18" Great Northern Pike. We drove all the way to the river mouth in Paradise, MI, and the gamble paid off. It was a beautiful day, but turned a little rainy to cut our trip short. We were still able to spend some quality relaxation time together, though. The rest of us just caught 'grass pike'. Trevor said he loves fishing, and both he and Lily can't wait to go again. In the picture is Lisa holding Trevor's fish for him. He wasn't sure he wanted to touch it!

Practice Pays Off For Lily

It was a hot night in the Soo, but Lily still had a fun time again. We practiced hitting during the day, and that paid off as she clobbered the ball both times up to bat. Lily had a little extra speed on the base path wearing her new 'Princess' shoes. In the field she got to play first base again, where at least she gets some action. She did a pretty good job and was showing off her great throwing arm. She also got to play against her friend Sarah McKinney again, too.

Same ol' cheering section for Lily, as Mommy and Daddy, Trevor, Grandma Nichols, and Grandma 'Pappy' were in attendance. Trevor was more concerned with playing with the girls and impressing them, though, than he was about watching his sister play. More games next week, and maybe her Papa and Nana can come up from down state to watch.

Another Fun Night For Lily

Lily had another fun time playing baseball last night. She had two more solid hits, despite the fact that her coach keeps pushing her too close to the plate. She still makes pretty good contact and gets the ball out there. She didn't have too much hit to her in the field, but she doesn't push other kids out of the way like some of the others do. She does a good job of keeping to her position and not chasing the ball when it's not hit to her. After the game, Lily ran to the front of the line to shake hands with the other team. She's such a good sport.

Cheering on Lily this week again were Mommy and Daddy, Trevor, Grandma Nichols, and Grandma 'Pappy'. Another game this week on Thursday.
