Fall Baseball- Kaleb

 

Kaleb truly loves Baseball. He may not be the most aggressive player but he does enjoy getting out and hitting and catching the ball and hanging out with his friends. It has  been fun to watch Kaleb improve on his form, hitting and catching. We are still working with him on hitting the ball HARD.  Mark and I think he is afraid he is going to hurt someone if he hits it really hard; however, when it was his turn he always made it to first base. No joke. He is a good hitter he just needs to be a little bit more aggressive. Unfortunately, aggressiveness doesn't seem to run in our family. We will keep working with him!

 This year, he had the opportunity to play with a couple friends from the neighborhood: Sterling Lund and Caleb Bradford.

Fall Baseball- Karmindy

 One thing is for sure, Karmindy likes to keep up with her Big Brother and she won't let anything get in her way to stop her! Kaleb loves baseball and let us know that he wanted to play Fall Ball again this year, Karmindy spoke right up and said she also wanted to play and so we thought we would give her a chance as well and make it a family affair. Karmindy LOVED baseball!! She loved playing on her friend Carson Bradfords team and could boast of being one of two girls on the team. Mark helped coach with Jason Bradford, a family friend, this year. Karmindy did really well and really fought to get the ball. In fact, she was highly offended when she didn't get the ball and was known to sit in the middle of the field and cry if the ball didn't come to her. Gotta Love Pee Wee Baseball and Toddlers!

Spring Soccer Trophies

The Soccer Season came to an end on May 26th for the kids. Kaleb and Karmindy both had such a great time playing this season and it was fun to see them both improve over the course of the past few months. They have both grown a lot, especially Kaleb. Kaleb has gotten a lot more aggressive and has become quite a quick runner. They both did such a great job and were thrilled when the last game of the season came around and they were able to get their participation trophies. They both took such a great pride when they received them and couldn't wait to get them home so they could display them on their shelves in their rooms.

Go Little Cheeto's!- Spring Soccer

When Kaleb voiced an interest in playing spring soccer again, Karmindy also expressed an interest in playing. She has got to keep up with her big brother after all!! This year Karmindy's Team got the honor of wearing the bright orange jersey's and so they were crowned the title of, "The Cheeto's!" Their jerseys are so bright it is pretty blinding! One thing for sure is that you can't miss seeing them out on the field!!

The first game of the season was a little rough for Karmindy and I think she got a little overwhelmed at first, so she ended up laying down in the middle of the field and sulked. As each week goes by though, she has gotten a little more excited about the whole idea of soccer. Even though she isn't as aggressive as the majority of the kids on her team she does like being out on the field running around....not necessarily after the ball but she loves to run around. It has been really fun for our family to spend our Saturday mornings or afternoon's watching the kids play soccer. The kids love to be involved and also love going out to eat after wards for dinner as a family to celebrate. I love making memories with the kids!

Go Blue Cougars - (Spring Soccer)

Kaleb decided that he wanted to play Spring Soccer again this year, so we signed  him up through the 

JL Sorenson Rec Center. We signed him up with his friend Cadence, whom he played with on a team together last year. He was so excited to hang out with her!! Kaleb's team this year is combined of 1st and 2nd graders, so he is one of the smaller ones on the team but is quite fast!! 

After watching Kaleb at the first few practices and games, we have see a great improvement in him from playing last year. Kaleb is more aggressive this year and has a great running stride which allows him to get to the ball before many of the other kids his age.

Kaleb has really enjoyed having the opportunity during the games and practices to play the position of Goalie. He looks so cute in the Goalie Jersey and Mitts! Kaleb has really enjoyed playing this year and it has been so fun for Mark and I to see how much he has improved from last year!
