No longer a Fence rattler!

Chandler finally hit a home run in his game Friday!!!!! I cannot tell you how many times he has come close. It was really beginning to be ridiculous and almost funny that it was just never going to happen. Well, it finally did! There was one person on base when he hit it. It cleared the center field fence just so smoothly and easily. I know this is stupid but I almost cried watching him run the bases. He was met at home plate by his team congratulating him and his friend, Edward, picked him up and carried him back towards the dugout. It was great! They went on to win the game. They've been on a winning streak lately. Just hope it last to tournaments. On Saturday, I was anxious for him to hit again and they intentionally walked him twice! His third at bat, they finally pitched to him and he got a good hit. He also pitched 4 innings in the game on Sat and did awesome! He's not really a pitcher. He's pitched maybe 3 times this year. Out of 12 outs, 7 of them were strikeouts and I think he gave up 2 hits and 1 run. It was awesome! He just really had a great weekend. Chandler with his home run ball.

Mom, Dad, Mary, Drew, Colt, Rickey, and Juanita came to the game on Friday. Drew was excited to watch "bubba" play baseball!
Hudson playing with his friend, Josh. They really keep each other entertained during the ball games! They "play" baseball with cups, rocks, sticks, and what ever else they can find. It's so cute.

Hudson's game got rained out on Saturday and he doesn't play this week until Thursday and I think it's supposed to rain. He will be so disappointed because he just can't wait to play again.
