Spotlight on Tyler

In case you didn't know it, Tyler loves playing sports. Soccer, basketball, football and right now, baseball. The spring season of machine pitch comes to end this week, and Tyler's team has had a good season. The highlight of the year was 3&2 (that's the league he plays in) night at T-bones game. The T-bones are local, unaffiliated minor league team.


Each 3&2 team gets to march around the field prior to the game. As an added bonus, the team that sells the most tickets gets to take the field with the T-bones. Guess which team that was? Yep, ours. Tyler was ecstatic to run out onto the field with 'a real baseball player'. In fact, I think the whole team was pretty pumped.

Ty also spent a week at football camp. He has signed up to play flag football in the fall. No idea what position he will play, but he does have a pretty good arm. Might have to get Tyler some time with Uncle Todd for QB lessons.

Besides playing sports, Tyler has joined scouts. He just finished his first year, making it to Bear Cub. We went to year-end picnic for the ceremony. Tyler also spent a week at Scout Day Camp. Melissa and I both helped out with activities on different days. Even through it was extra hot that week, the kids stayed cool with water fights and spray down by fire engine.

Next post will be for Drew, as he gets ready to celebrate his first birthday.
