Ayden started his first year of baseball. He's loving it and doing really well. His first couple of practices he was nervous, but now that he's understanding the game more he's getting more confident. His team had a preseason tournament over the weekend. They played 3 games and for each Ayden played in the outfield.

Our friends Stephanie and John surprised Ayden and came to his games on Saturday. They had plans to see the Blue Angels (special Airforce pilots) in Tuscaloosa, but John decided he wanted to support Ayden. I thought it was amazing that a teenage boy would give up his Saturday plans to come see a 7 year old play. Love it.

John promised Ayden that if he hit the ball while batting he would take him out for ice cream. What motivation for a 7 year old boy! He did hit the ball and John did take him out for ice cream.
They were awesome and got ice cream for all the kids. Stephanie calls the kids her babies and can't resist spoiling them. Tate loved the ice cream and putting on Ayden's helmet(is that what it's called in baseball?)

Tate loved watching Ayden play and frequently yelled to him on the field "Aynan". He was a good "beeball" watcher. This is my favorite picture of him intently watching the game.
