A Little Bit of Family Baseball

After we got back from the reunion, we celebrated my nephew, Carson's, birthday. We headed to one of our nearby parks and had a hot dog roast. I am sure Jodi will be putting up some photos of that soon. Afterwards, we went and played a little bit of baseball.

Rigdon and his cousin, Brooklyn, playing in the dirt.

Play Ball!

Rigdon loved playing around with the bats.

Ronin's up for bat...with his tongue sticking out, meaning he's really concentrating now.

My mom and Rigdon.

I've noticed that Rigdon is always grabbing his ears and used to wonder if he had an earache or something. But one day Jed mentioned how he seems to use his ears like a security blanket. When I thought of that, it's true. He likes to hold his ears all of the time, especially if he's nervous, around new people, or bored.

We had a great time playing baseball. It was so much fun!
