Jaxon is finally old enough to participate in the city's sport leagues! We missed the sign up for soccer this spring, so that will have to wait until fall. But we did get him signed up for T-Ball! He is a runner. He literally runs non stop everywhere we go! His endurance and stamina baffles us everyday! We knew he would like baseball, but would need to learn how to play the actual game, and not just run the whole time. First practice.... that was rough! He spent almost the entire hour running the bases. Over and over again. When it was his turn to bat, he was THRILLED that he finally got to run. Then as the other kids took their turns, Jaxon ran with them too. Such a nerd!
Saturday was his first actual game. Well his first game. The team had a game last week, at the exact time of Carson's b-day party. Joel and I had bought him cleats the day before... at the store we had him run around a little to see if he liked them. He loved them, and told us "These work great! I can run super fast!"
Let me say this about his first game! Hilarious. Chaos.
His team consists of 4-6 year olds, so the older kids on both teams did a lot better then the little ones. Jaxon has the hang of being on the field, grabbing the ball, and throwing it to first (well in the general direction.)

| He grabbed it, and threw it to 1st! |
But for some reason, when it was his turn to bat, he kinda forgot what to do after! We were dying of laughter!! He would hit the ball, run and grab the ball THEN run to 1st! So dang funny! Here is a little play by play!

| Pretty proud of himself for stopping at 3rd! |
He seems to love it! Just needs to keep learning how the game goes! The game was over an hour long, so towards the end he was kinda done. But he had so much fun! After the game was team pictures! I promise I was not the only one who snuck in behind the photographer and snapped my own pictures! :)
Here is his little T-Ball team! The Orem Jr. Owls. But I think they renamed themselves the Green Lanterns!

That is so funny about Jaxon's 1st T-ball game- but that is what always happens at that age. When Joel played, kids would hit the ball & run towards where the ball went, not 1st base! Kids are so dang cute & Jaxon is no exception- love that boy!!!
