Dylan and Dawson are playing training league ball this year for the Reds. Donnie is coaching and the boys are having a ball (no pun intended). Dawson is only 4, but we played him up so that he and Dylan could be on the same team. They have both already gotten game balls. Dylan is batting lead off and loves to hit, but could care less about the field. Dawson likes to hit as well, but he would rather eat the snacks after the game. I have to bribe him with suckers for a hit, but he pulls it off. Dylan got his game ball against the Braves on April 26th. He went 4 for 4 that game. The Braves are a stacked division and a good friend of ours coaches it so it was great to see Dylan do so well against them. Dawson got his on 5-5-08. His game ball was against the Met's. They were in 1st place in our division and we were in the bottom of the 6th tied. We had one player on second and Dawson came up to bat and knocked it clear in the out field. It was awesome. Our team went wild as well as our opponents being that he is only 4 and the last batter in the line up. The boy on second scored and we won. Hope ya'll enjoy some of their pictures from ball.

Like Father, Like Son...
Both boys chose their own numbers this year. Ironically, the numbers that they chose were both Donnie's old numbers from when he played ball.
Our Little Slugger, Dawson, coming up to bat.
Our Lead Off batter, Dylan, getting ready to hit the ball.
Daddy makes sure that Dylan keeps his eyes on the ball at all times!
As you can see, his eyes are not on the ball for very long!
Playing In The Dirt Again...This is Dawson's favorite thing to do at the ball field besides eating snacks!

Look out Atlanta Braves! Here come Dylan and Dawson! How precious are these pictures? Especially the ones of them not paying attention! One day those pictures will be priceless to you!
I don't know about number 11 but two one look gooddd. They both are awesome but Tonya I wouldn't worry about them keeping their eye on the ball, if they play like dad that will eventually come easy. Maybe I should come help teach them to hit though...smile you guys are truly BLESSED. Keep up the good work.
