Final TBall Tribute

Towards the end of May, Elem had his T-Ball party to celebrate the T-Ball season.

I cant believe that the season is over, but I am happy to report that we ended the year with a bang! And Elem was more than excited to know a trophy was headed his way! haha. I mean isn't that what the entire season is all about when you are 4 years old??? ;) Once again I proved to be a little bit of the "over the top team mom", but I didn't even care. There wasn't a plan to have a team party or celebration or anything and knowing that my little man wanted a trophy more than anything was all I needed to make sure one got planned. So after the final game, we planned to meet up at Larry's Pizza the following night. Here are a couple of pics from the final T-Ball game of the 2011 season!

Getting ready for the game, Elem sippin' on some last minute sonic drink to get him ready to go!

Last game position-pitcher! Yay! Elem's favorite position by far. Giving us the thumbs up that he is ready to go and catch some balls!!!!

And.He's. Got one! Go E. Throw to first-throw to first.

He loves catching and playing in the field, but loves to run those bases more than anything else!

Go BlueJays Go!

I think my most favorite part of the entire season, was the look on Elem's face when we were at the T-Ball party and Coach Brandon said that everyone who was there had played good enough to get a trophy and he was about to call their names out. Elem's reaction=a big serious and very intense, " Yes! " in a deep growling almost face if you can imagine. hahaha. So typical of Elem, he was serious about being good enough to have earned a trophy. See his face below for image of the moment I am referring to.

Elem Zane Shelby getting his very first trophy ever. So proud of you Elem! Way to go!!

What a great season, and what fun we have in our future if Elem continues to do this thing called baseball! We loved everything about it, we really did, and playing really helped Elem open up to being around boys that were his own age and that he didnt know from school. They were very rough and tough and he really hung in there even though he was the youngest on the team. I am so proud of him for really trying hard and not giving up. And for having a good attitude! Way to go Elem, we love you and hope to see more baseball games in the future!!
