Braves Baseball

Introducing Jackson's new baseball team, the OK Braves!!!  What a fun group of boys and families!  They've had a great first season in kid pitch!  They skipped 9U and went straight to play 10U league (Jackson could actually still play 8U) and they did great!

These boys are legit with their Braves rolling bags!  Jackson waited years for a bag like this!  

I'm always a nervous wreck when Jackson takes the mound, but he goes up there with so much confidence and has gotten better with each game!  So exciting watching him strikeout batters!

The Braves had their first travel tournament in Tulsa, Oklahoma and oh were they excited!!!  

A travel tournament calls for a fun goodie bag for the boys!  I loved putting these together!

Hotel swimming and running up and down all the halls is a must for a travel tournament and the boys checked both off their lists!

and why not play beyblades in the hallway . . .

The matching pjs in the goodie bags was a HUGE hit!!!

The boys start each day off right with a pre game prayer!  Priceless moment for this group of boys!

They had a rough first day of baseball and went 0-2 in pool play.  However, on Sunday the boys were back and they kept winning to advance to the championship game!  Leading up to the championship game they outscored their Sunday opponents 40-10 in two games!

The championship game didn't start until 8:30 pm on Sunday, it was a close game that went into extra innings.  At 10:00 the ballpark lights went dark and they spent 20 mins trying to get the lights back on! The boys let lose and had a great time in the dark!  The boys ended up losing by 1 run but it was a great game that ended just after 11:00 pm.   Definitely a game for the memory books!

Jackson's hardware collection is growing quickly!  The boys earned this ring!!!  Could not be more proud of Jackson and his teammates.  

We arrived back in Edmond around 1:15 am on Monday morning but it was completely worth it!
