Easter is coming!!!

(before)

Today we decided to get our Easter photos taken. Here is a teaser.
(after)



Braves are on the WARPATH!!!






It's amazing to see such great improvement in such a short time. The braves have really come together as a team and learned to play as such. The second game of the season saw some much needed changes as a team.


(miles made it to third)









The Braves struggled at the plate during the home opener against the A's. However, that was short lived. The Braves turned it around against the Pirates, and the Reds. They tore up the plate with HIT after HIT. Even Michele decided to be more than a "Mom" in the stands. Michele took over as the "pitching coach" for the team, and did a great job filling in. Now it appears that they can't live without her.




The Braves' coach likes to give each player a turn at every position. Miles was able to play CATCHER against the REDS. Being a lefty didn't slow him down a bit. He caught throws from the pitcher and even tagged out a couple of runners at home plate. He enjoyed wearing the pads, and had a great time.

Let's go Braves!!!

Opening Day!!! MARCH 24th, 2007 Miles and his new team the BRAVES marched onto the Cordelia Tri-Valley Little League diamond waiting to leave their mark on baseball forever.


These Lil' kids grabbed their gloves and bats hoping to be the next Willie Mays, or Hank Aaron.


It was a gorgeous Saturday Morning. The sun was shining and the baseball gods were smiling.


These little guys and gals were ready to play! For the first time ever, Miles ran out onto the field wearing No. 15 ready to play a sport he loves. Although he didn't see much action the in field, or get a hit, we all had a great time.

baseball





Miles has been busy the last couple of weeks practicing baseball with his team the BRAVES!!! The season officially starts tomorrow so wish them luck... Here are a few photo's of the team in action preparing for the big day...

GO BRAVES!!!









Miles' 5th Birthday!!!





It's Miles' big day and he is no longer considered a lil' boy! For his theme this year he decided to go with Choppers!!! He loves motorcycles (just like his daddy), and wanted all his decorations to have custom motorcycles all over them. His mother even went as far to have a "chopper" pinata!!!
We were lucky enough to have all of his neighborhood friends AND all his school friends attend. Everyone seemed to have a great time filled with hot dogs, chips, and of course, cake, and ice cream. Mommy planned a wonderful play date birthday party, and Nanna & Poppa even came up from Los Angeles for the big day. Miles had so many presents from family and friends that his head was spinning...
After the party Miles ended his day playing with his daddy. We played baseball in the backyard with his new baseball bat given to him by his Mom-Mom & Pop-pop from the east coast!!!

It's fun being 5!

Take me out to the ball park!!!





Miles has started Baseball!!! We started the new baseball season with a league clinic to help get the kids familiar with playing the game. Miles had fun learning the basics of the game, but needs to work on his fielding ability. He has learned to hit the ball like a pro. We've been practicing by going to the batting cages. He can hit a 40mph baseball pitch. He loves sports.

March

It's been a busy 07 for us. Ron has been working on Pirates of the Caribbean. Michele has been quite busy chasing after the boys. Roman is now walking, running, climbing, and falling. Miles enjoys attending school, and knows how to write his name. He has started his first year playing baseball. We decided to skip T-ball and have him go directly to "coach pitch" baseball. He's the youngest player in the league, but he can hit the ball well. We are working on his fielding skills, but he's getting better everyday. We are all looking forward to opening day coming up on March 24th on his birthday weekend
