SHE has A League of Her Own!!!

Katie with some of the girls on her team. So far the team remains "nameless" but we're working on it.


Katie demonstrating her awesome batting form and fighting off a foul ball. Look carefully in the bleachers and you'll see Mom, Zhi and special guest, in the yellow, Mr. Butcher--her 6th grade teacher who came because Katie invited him. What a great guy!!


Going for the long fly ball in center field. It was a GORGEOUS CATCH! Good job, Katie!!! (ok, really this was taken during warm-ups, but it was good nonetheless.)

Spring In Utah----ya gotta love it!!!

Yes folks, this is correct. It is April 15th. Officially SEVERAL WEEKS into the spring of 2009 and this was the weather when the kids got out of school today at 1:30 PM. They had to make a mad-dash to the car in an effort to avoid gettting soaked from the snow that was falling. Needless to say, Katie's softball game scheduled for tonight was "snow delayed" and they spent the afternoon watching a movie on the big screen and munching on popcorn. Honestly, will it EVER be spring???

PLAY BALL!!!

The Boys of Summer have hit the ball fields and this is the first year Zhi is playing baseball. He's excited to be a "Met" and is loving playing with his teammates and coaches.

.
Z's first ever "at bat." He ended up getting hit by the pitch and was credited with his first ever RBI because the bases were loaded!!! Pretty good stats for a rookie...


His first experience as a "baserunner." He made it to second on a base hit by the next batter, then was forced out on a fielders choice on the next play. His team ended up winning 11-0 with the mercy rule after 5 innings. It's gonna be a fun summer!!!
