Exciting Weekend with the Grandsons

'Papa' Steve and I drove to Texas this weekend to watch the grandsons play ball and to take Leyton his birthday kitten.  Leyton is now eight years old and quite a good little ball player.  Friday evening we went to watch him play a make-up game from earlier in the week and then he had  a regular game Saturday morning.  Saturday was the first game where they allowed the kids to actually pitch a couple of innings, then the coach finished out the game as usual.  Leyton got to pitch one of the innings and was so cute.  It was just like watching a major-leaguer in miniature.  He's growing up way too fast for his Grandma's liking!!!

Leyton loves his kitten 'Stormy'

Friday evening I went to watch Maddox practice with his TBall team and, as you'll see by my story, I'm so glad I did.  We expected to go watch Maddox and his TBall game after Leyton's ball game Saturday morning.  And, we were so looking forward to it.  He and his team are so cute. . . and funny.  They don't pay attention to the coach very well and spend most of their time in the field looking around, playing with their buddys or, like a little kid at the practice, picking a flower for his Mom then yelling from the field "I love you Mom".  Four year olds are so cute!!   Anyway, back to my story, Saturday morning after Leyton's game we were all getting ready to head over to Maddox's game when he ran around the back corner of their car just as the tailgate was lowering and smacked right into it.  It was totally an accident, but the corner of the door hit him directly in the forehead.  So, instead of getting to watch Maddox play ball, we got to go with him to the ER for six stitches. Poor, sweet boy. 

After lunch, Steve and I headed back to Oklahoma.  Later that evening I called to check on him and how he was doing with his stitches and he was playing at a birthday party.  Trin said he was doing fine and having fun showing off his bandaid.  In true Maddox form, nothing keeps that kid down for long.
