Life can become quite busy at times. Not mentioning family and work, my time gets filled with School (I am getting my MBA), church responsibilities and now T-ball! I am coaching Dallin's t-ball team, and it is a lot of fun and a good lesson in patience. We are two weeks into practicing now and the kids seem to be enjoying it. There are ten kids on the team ranging in age from 5-7. Most of the kids seem to be somewhat coordinated, while a few others are learning about hand eye coordination. It is fun watching them try, and at the same time it wears a bit on your patience.
There's a picture of Dallin taking a whack at the ball! Yesterday we attempted to learn positions and base running. I love it when the parents seem to think letting kids think on their own is a bad idea. As I was teaching, I would point at the base and ask the kids, "what base is that?" a voice from the peanut gallery, not a kid, would yell out loud and fast, "2nd base!!" I then did the same thing with the positions, same voice would yell out "left field!!" I wanted to say, good job, I am glad you are learning, now SHUT UP and let the kids respond!! But being me, I decided against that approach! Maybe she was learning herself for the first time....
Hopefully the season goes well, games start next month, I think we have a good chance to be the champs, especially since they don't have outs or keep score! Go Pirates! (oh yeah that is our team!)

You are so very patient. Maybe we should bring peanuts to throw at said mom, since she is the peanut gallery? I never would do that, but it would be funny!
