#7

My favorite number is 4- it has been my entire life. But not anymore- my new favorite number is #7. Why, you ask? Because the cutest little 3 year old boy in the entire world just played his first team sport- and on the back of his jersey was #7. So my favorite number has changed to #7- that is until soccer season rolls around and he gets a new jersey! :)

Brett's first practice. He walked out there and played like he had been doing it his entire life- and the smile never left his face!
Got it!
On the way to Brett's first practice he asked me, "Mommy- did you make a cheerleading shirt for Kate?" So, of course she sported this shirt for his first game.

All ready to go
A kiss for good luck (now how cute is that!)
Nana, Ma, and Daddy Bob were frequent cheerleaders at Brett's games.
So proud to have made it to first base
Giving "high-fives" after the game
Cousin Cara came to watch a game
The Tigers

The parents got to stand on the field with the kids so they could help out. I am not sure who enjoyed that more- Brian or Brett. Brett LOVED playing pitcher- he loved being a part of the action.
Running for the ball

Throwing to first base
Getting ready to hit
On first base after his "home run" - which means that the ball rolled to the back fence
Not sure what they are talking about here but they look so serious- and I love Brett's hand in his back pocket.
Kate with her buddy Brody
Little Slugger
Waiting for their trophy. The last game was on Halloween weekend so they could wear their costume if they wanted to. Brett, thankfully, choice to wear his uniform.
So proud

Brett- we are so proud of how well you did playing your first team sport. You loved every second of it (and we did too). We look forward to many, many, many more years of cheering you on!
