Baby and Baseball

Brand new babies and baseball--two of our faves!  A few weekends ago, we got to combine them.  Lucky us!  Jackson had a baseball tournament in Fort Worth, pretty close to where Baby Connor lives, so jumped at the chance to go visit.

This was Cami's very first time getting to hold her new cousin, and she was in heaven!

I'm pretty sure both she and he were loving all the sweet cuddles.

Jackson and Lila were both anxiously awaiting their turns, as well!

Jackson is so good with him...

and Lila is, too.  

Aunt Crystal only got to hold him whenever she was passing him to another kid, but she finally took a few minutes and held him--back off, children!

Baby love!

As we were walking out the door, Uncle Jared got a quick turn.

We then went and watched Jackson play two games.  The first one was delayed for an hour, due to heavy rain and lightning.  

We had to hang out inside until the bad weather passed.  These girls and all the boys did so well at entertaining themselves!  When the lightning stopped, they resumed play...in the rain.  Then they played another game...in the pouring rain.  Thank goodness they won both games and it wasn't all for nothing!

The next day, we were back in Fort Worth and made a pit-stop again to see Connor.  He was awake this time and everyone loved seeing his pretty blue eyes.

I love this picture!  One day, I hope these boys will be great friends!

Cami is so ready to babysit.  She asked Lyndsie, "So when are you and Uncle Scott going on a dinner date?  We can come babysit!"

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have any trouble getting help with that gig.

The Eagles ended up winning both of their games and this kid was a huge help in securing the championship!  He got a double, scoring two runs, and then pitched the final three innings of the game.  It was a nail-biter, with two runners on base and the tying run at the plate.  The batter hit it into right field and Beau made the catch!  Eagles won!

These boys went undefeated in a Majors tournament and came out as the champs.

Big smiles from the whole fam.  Way to go, Jackson!
