Move over Johnny Damon...

...because the hottest baseball player in the league is now Nathan Snelders!!! Get in line ladies, he is only 5 years old!
Nathans smallest...but loudest fan!

Look at the wind up!


He can hit, run, and field the ball after 1 practice. This kid is AMAZING!

Nice hit!!

This is Scott's favorite picture of the night! Look at the power leg move!


Nathan started t-ball last Tuesday night and he was SO excited. He followed me around all day and was anxious to go to his first practice. After asking me four times if it was time to leave to go to practice he stopped and looked at me and said, "What IS practice?" This made me chuckle! We went to a get pictures on Saturday and then stayed and played some games the the Baseball extravaganza they set up to help the program earn a little money. I was pretty proud of myself because I took all 3 kids by myself and we were on time and then played games for an hour before Zach was done.
Then Monday night was the big night! It was game time and Nate was still unsure of what the difference was between a game and practice. He quickly found out that playing the game was ALOT more fun. We were very proud of him because he was aggressive and went after the ball everytime it even got close to him. There was a few times the boys dog-piled trying to get the ball--and not one kid was worried about the runner. It was so fun. Much less stressfull than soccer! We decided we like being t-ball parents!

Way to go, Nate! He has just been waiting to find his sport, plus, he looks great in a hat. Keep swingin' slugger. Grandpa and I are very proud of you. Love and Kisses

He looks so cute. We can't wait to get settled so we can get our boys signed up for sports. Although, I'm not sure if they do outdoor sports here in the summer - too blazin' hot!! So, when are you coming to visit? I think it would be fun to have you and Julie down for a mommy and cousins vacation! We bought a season pass to the waterpark and we can get guests in for $10. Seriously, pack your bags : )

That is so fun! David had his first t-ball game saturday and by the second inning he said, mom, I just want to go home! He was tired... but it was so funny because he was so excited for it before hand. I do want to trade activity ideas, i can always use more ideas! (for yw I mean) Zach is getting so big!! And he is adorable. We cant wait to see you guys again... Hopefully St. George will work out. I guess we find out soon. We will let you know. :)
