New Favorite Show - "Castle"
Ok, so the story premise is an author who kills off his main book character and falls into a slump, until he helps the cops (including a lady detective) solve a copy cat crime where someone is using his mystery books to murder people. They get through that crime, but the lady detective gives him an idea for a new character series and he comes back to do "research" and tags along to crime scenes. I don't know how long this will last, but the chemistry between the two is great and the guy who plays castle, (can't remember his name) was on Two guys a girl and a pizza place" and I think (lee help me out) Serenity, some sci fi show that is no longer. Or was it firefly, or something, anyway, he does a good job of being a bit self centered, charming and loveable. I watched the first episode and will tape the series, and watch it when I have time.
Anyway, try it out and see for yourself!

Cole's Very First Baseball Game!
Here he is at bat. He didn't hit anything, but the pitcher was a kid on the other team and most of the time it bounced in front of him. He still really doesn't know what a good pitch looks like. So he swung at just about everything.
In the 3rd inning he got to play first base which at first freaked me out a little. I thought to myself, "are you coaches sure you want to do that?" But he made a good play! He actually stopped the ball! Usually during practice the ball would roll right between his legs! So he did good!
He definitely pays more attention to what is going on during then game rather than at practice!
Here he is peeking out of the dugout, waiting his turn to bat!
This was at the beginning of the game, where they all line up to say the "Little League Pledge".

Cole is number 11.
The game was pretty funny, we enjoyed it with Carl's parents and Kaleigh spent some time at the playground with her friend Jared. His brother was playing against Cole. Cole is on the Red Sox team and his friend Jack is on the Angels. The score was pretty much 0 to 0 for most of the game, then one of the Angels came in and the game ended 1 to 0 in favor of the Angels. Not that we keep score or anything. : )

Opening Day! Whoo..hoo.
As you can see, Opening day for Little League was ever so exciting! Kaleigh was bored out of her mind! We had to be there at 8:45am to wait....then at 9:15am all the teams ran out on the field to wait... Announcements were made, people were thanked, a baseball player (used to be in the big leagues from our city) made a speech, awards for the volunteers were given out, the Mayor made a speech, sponsors were thanked, blah blah blah...anyway, then we had to have our team and individual pictures taken. That was to take place at 11:40am. Well, by this time it is about 10am and Kaleigh has had enough (and so have I!) I decide to take a little break and bring Kaleigh with me, we go home for an hour or so, then we come back...to wait some more! Apparently the T-ball league took a long time to get photos taken (gee they are 4-5 year olds go figure!) So we didn't get to have Cole's team photo done until about noon! We finally got out of there at about 12:45pm! Whew what a long morning. But we did order a few photos and they did allow parents to stand behind the photographer to take a few photos ourselves!
So this photo is of Cole for his individual picture (I believe they take it from the waist up), I wanted a full shot so everyone can see how sharp he looks in his uniform!
This last one is of the team. They are the Red Sox and every division has one! Even T-ballers.

The two team moms are in the photo and are pretty nice. The coaches are in the back holding the banner. There are 12 kids on Cole's team but one was on a fishing trip, and they have one girl, back row far right. They all seem pretty nice but I am a little sad Cole did not get on his friend Jack's team. There are a few of my old Moms Club kids on that team and it would have been fun to hang with those moms! Oh well, I hope Cole can make new friends with these boys!
First game is Saturday. With not one practice actually playing the game, they will need a lot of prayer to get through the game! We kept having our practices rained out! They went to the batting cages but they haven't really played through a real game type practice. Well, it isn't like they keep score anyway! Go Red Sox, Go Cole!
