Hey Batter Batter, Hey Batter Batter... SWING!

Lately you can find the Frye family at the baseball fields watching our 2 star players play ball. Jake has found a love for baseball and is coming out of his shell and working hard to become a great baseball player. He is determined to make the baseball team over at Desert Oasis next year as he enters into high school. With much determination and a lot of practice I believe he can do it. Jake has started pitching this year and has done a great job. It makes me a little nervous sitting in the bleachers watching him, but I think that is the case with any postion.




Batter Up! Jake has been known to smash the ball over the fence for a home run during practice,hopefully he will get one during a game.:)


We had to grab a picture of the spectators on the bleachers.


Onto my little t-baller. Gabe has been waiting to play ball like his big brother for a long time. He has watched Jake for years playing baseball,he is so excited to finally be able to play. This was Gabes first game,all the boys had to be pointed in the right direction to go to 2nd base. It was so funny a couple of times we found the boys running past 2nd into the outfield. Classic.



Gabe looks like a pro already.



This is my favorite picture of the bunch. Jake can be so tender at times. You can see Gabe listening so intently on what Jake is saying to him. Love it!

Gotta love all those days at the field! I love how sweet Jake is and that he likes coming to Gabe's games. It has been fun to have a buddy at the games to chat with during the games.

That post brought tears to my eyes! I grew up in a baseball family and wow, did that bring back so many memories! Gabe is the cutest thing - those pictures are so precious! And Jake is going to do great! We love watching HS baseball! He is going to have the best time next year! And Dan is done with busy season now, so if change your mind and you want him to work with Jake, he would love and be happy to. He is so into teaching the kids the right techniques and making them better players. Call anytime :) Love that picture of Gabe and Jake - so sweet!

I've spent many evenings at that ball field. It really is sweet that Jake is helping his little brother. We just put our two youngest boys in t-ball for the first time & (especially with the 3-4 year olds) it's a hoot watching them warm up (the jumping jacks are hysterical to watch!) & play. And once they're out on the field playing...I just love it that the little ones are so new to all of it. Great memories!

Love,
Shannon
