Growing up in a family with four sisters, five girls in all (my poor dad), I was never exposed to many sports. My dad liked the LA Dodgers, and he would watch them on the TV, but we never attended a game and I never played any sports. When I had my son, this changed everything. His dad keeps him busy in every sport available, and between the two of us we attend many games at the stadium.

My sons first season in T-ball he was on the Mariners team. His dad was the coach. Nicholas loved to play first base. He played really well in the outfield. This particular layout he played catcher. The gear looks like it weighs more than him. I have never felt more proud and excited for him to do well. He left that season feeling confident and ready for the next season. It was a family affair to try to help Nicholas raise money for the Walk a thon. Grandparent, aunts, uncles, friends, and of course mom and dad.



My oldest daughter Haley signed up for a soccer team. She had spent many weekends attending her brother's practices and games and decides to join in on the fun. This layout is of that season.



We all love to attend the Padre games at the stadium, especially opening day. We had a huge tailgate party with lots to eat. A clown even came by and painted the kids faces with different Padre colors. The opening ceremonies were breathtaking. My son's favorite part was when the jets flew overhead.



Having a boy in the family has definitely shown me a different world; the world of sports and how much fun they are.
