I play for the Timber Rattlers. My daddy is helping the coach. Last night daddy helped coach the team, because my coach was out of town. Daddy would have helped today, but he had to work. At today's game I had a great play at home. I also had a good play at first base. Too bad daddy wasn't there to see me.

I had a rainout today - it is actually a rainout of a rainout.

I did play a game on Friday and Saturday. I won the game on Friday night and lost by 1 on Saturday's game. Saturday's game was an exciting one - we were ahead, behind, tied, ahead, tied, and then they went ahead by one.

We also had the parade that kicks of the season. It was fun to ride on a trailer with my team.

practice

I began practices for baseball last Sunday afternoon. I have myself and 4 other boys who played on my team last year. I have met some new friends. I can't wait for my next practice.

new team

This year I am on the Cardinal's Team again! My daddy and Mr. Jim are the coaches again! Yeah! On Monday night my daddy got to draft my team. We will start practice soon. I sure am ready for a new season of baseball :)

trophies

I have three trophies that are from Soap Box racing. I have 1 trophy that I got for racing my Pinewood Derby Car at a friend's Pinewood Derby.

Busch Stadium Puzzle

When we were in St. Louis my mommy and daddy bought me this puzzle. We finished it yesterday with the help of some friends who are staying with us due to the ice storm. Here is the puzzle completed. I love it!!!

My mommy does not know why it flipped the picture. She had it the right way and something with uploading the picture flipped it. If you know the reason, please help my mommy by telling her how to fix it.

Baseball Sign-ups

On Saturday I had baseball sign-ups. I am excited that the season is right around the corner. Daddy signed up to coach again with Coach Jim. I will have tryouts this year on February 21. Then my daddy gets to draft our team. We start playing in mid April.
