Brayden's first baseball game ... and Relay for Life

Brayden had his first baseball game on Thursday. They lost, 18-14, in overtime. The kids did great and had a lot of fun.
Brayden didn't do so well at bat and was a little upset that he didn't get on base.


At one point he cried when he got out because it was a really confusing play. I was heading over to see if he was OK and another mother made it there first and consoled him and told one of the coaches to explain what happened. One of his teammates even came over to tell him it was OK. Yes, I took pictures until I could give him a pep talk.


Here he is running. When the game was over, Brayden came over to me and said he sucked. Of course I told him he was great. His coach seen that he was upset and took time to come over to give him some encouraging words. He forgot his glasses at school and we're going to chalk up his misses to not being able to see the ball.

It was great because Kujo got home early from class to catch the game. It will probably be the only game he'll catch as the others are on Wednesdays and that's his long school day.


Josie even made it out. She came from Zanesville for the big game.


I thought this was so cute. Thanks Josie for moving your foot!

Ann and I took the kids to the Relay for Life on Friday night.


We seen lots of people we knew, like Melissa and Bret

My mom (in the white Relay shirt). She was walking with our church.


There's Jim from work with his sister.


A man at one of the relay tents brought the kids over some cookies.


And when Sheldon Mencer and the choirs performed, Rolland and Von started dancing. The songs were really beautiful.
