Diamond Divas

Kayleigh was really happy to start baseball season! This year, she is playing for a new team: Diamond Divas. Kayleigh is playing for the same coach she had for basketball: Glenn Allbrighton.

Kayleigh & the Diamond Divas are off to a good start! They won both of their scrimmage games! Yeah!! They lost their 1st game to Petrolia Crush.

They really made a come back on their 2nd game!! They played Technique & won 16 to 0!! Kayleigh has continued playing as the pitcher! She got 2 players out with strikes! Way to go!! Kayleigh scored a 3rd out by tagging the runner from home to 1st base!

Here are a few pics of Kayleigh in action:

HERO Baseball

This school year has really been a lot of fun, because our cousin Dylan is a SENIOR!! It wasn't so long ago we were watching Dylan play football! Now, we are going to Dylan's baseball games! The girls LOVE Dylan!!

I think it is neat that Dylan is a senior & Emily is in kindergarten! The beginning & the end!! It was the same way when Dylan's older sister Kylee was in school. Kylee was a senior & Kayleigh was in kindergarten!! WOW!! How time flies!!

Not only does Emily Love to watch Dylan, she LOVES spending time with her friend Regan! Emily & Regan started out in daycare together at 6 weeks of age. They are currently in the same kindergarten class!

Baseball, Baseball & More Baseball!!

Friday Night Lights is not just football!

Kayleigh's team Holliday Lil Eagls played the Little Divas Friday night.
It was hot! Kayleigh was excited that Unkie Joe, Aunt Jennifer & the boys (Andy & Tommy) came to watch the game.

The game watching didn't last long so Unkie Joe & Uncle Casey had to do some entertaing! It is not easy keeping small kids interested in a hour & 1/2 game!
The teams ended with a tied game 12 to 12. Yeah Lil Eagles!

Saturday began the double header! Lil Eagles vs Lady Texans & much cooler weather!
The team seemed to still be waking up & acting silly!
The Eagles lost 9 to 12. Better luck next game!

After a lunch break the Lil Eagles played their 2nd game vs Diamond Divas (also a Holliday team). The team didn't work together & some of the girls didn't have very good attitudes!?!

Kayleigh managed to tear a hole in the toe of her shoe. (The right foot she follows through with when pitching)
Well, they lost 12 to 16! :( Hopefully they learned a lesson!?!

Super Saturday!!

Saturday was a big day for the Holliday Lil Eagles! They played 2 games back to back. Kayleigh pitched the 1st game against North Texas Thunder. She had her own fan club! Casey, the girls & I, MiMi (Trisha), Grandmaw (Elwanda), PaPa (Jerry), Nan & Pop Pop (Sue & David), Jacob & DoDad (Joe) & Nancie all watched the 1st game. It was in the afternoon & the wind was blowing dirt off the field right into the dug out. We had dirt all over us too! The girls played hard, but lost 14 to 16. Better luck next game!The 2nd game was against Archer City Angels. Kayleigh played catcher & did very well! We lost some of our fan club, but cheered extra loud for the team! The girls played better the 2nd game. They listened more to their base coaches & scored more runs! One of the girls scored a homerun! Lil Eagles won 12 to 7! Yeah! 1st win for the season!Kayleigh & her team were so excited to win! Everyone was hot, tired, & DIRTY! Go! Lil Eagles!

Play Ball!!

Kayleigh has played baseball since she was 5/kindergarten. T-ball was fun, watching the kids (boys & girls) run around all crazy having no idea as to what they are supposed to be doing. Kayleigh played 1st base, the team name was Holliday Pumpers. Then she played 5 - pitch for 2 years and picked up on the basics of the game. She continued to play for the same team which was nice because the kids (boys & girls) all moved up together. Kayleigh stayed at 1st base and did very well. Now she is playing fast pitch. This year & last year she has played for the Holliday Lil Eagles (all girls). She takes the game very seriously!! She plays pitcher & catcher positions. Tonight was their 1st game the score was 15-16. Although they lost the game they were very excited! There are many more games ahead and a very determined group of young ladies to play those games! So I say GO!! LIL EAGLES GO!!
