Baseball, and Baseball, and More BASEBALL!!!

This summer baseball fever has taken hold of the Anderson boys in a very big way.
We go to Petco Park to cheer on the Padres, we watched every game of the Little League World Series, and of course every Saturday we are at the ball field to cheer for our favorite team "The Miramar Muckdogs!"
However, I think my favorite thing is our "family games" in the backyard. There is nothing better then hearing your kids hell "batter up", "safe", "good swing", and my favorite thing "HOME RUN!"
Many nights we are in our yard and this is what is going on............
Nick loves to be the catcher -- "just like Jack and Pops!"
Nick has also taken up pitching and has become a very good little pitcher. He will throw for Jack and will make it over the plate almost every time.
Jack is a great pitcher as well and Nick loves it when his brother will pitch to him.
But hitting is always Jack and Nick's favorite thing. Now, I know that I'm a little bit bias but wow, can those boys swing a bat!
I love watching them run the bases!!!
And it is always fun to hear the cheers and giggles that come along with all the fun!
I had to include these two videos on this post -- they just make me smile and giggle.
Here is Nick's turn at the plate:



And Big Jack at the plate:
Until next time.............
love from San Diego
