Born for Baseball

Gavin has had no interest in playing sports. Ever. Reese has been our extra curricular activity girl, sports wise. However, when my cute friend Cydnee (who just happens to be and old missionary companion AND happens to be in my ward here in Utah...seriously, the Lord knew where to place me here in Utah) mentioned her boys and their friends were putting together a baseball team and wondered if Gavin might be interested, Gavin jumped at it! Go figure.

We might have only had a t-ball plastic bat and ball, but we got outside and played ball to teach him a little about the sport.

Gavin caught on pretty quick and was soon hitting pitches right at Christopher! He had to back it up a bit.

It's definitely becoming a family favorite. What? Soccer demoted? Maybe just for the season.

Gavin has become quite the ball catcher.

His throw isn't too shabby either.

Just after the rain started a down pour on our family practice, Gavin excitedly exclaimed, "I was born for baseball"! We'll see come next week's first game. B4B=Born for Baseball
