STATE BOUND!!!

What a wonderful hot weekend! Braxton's All Star team has made it to state. They played some great ball this weekend. We lost our first game 6-3, won our second game 24-1, and lost our last game 7-4. Since we were in the top two we will move on. I got a lot of great photos with my new camera. Below are Logan Buford and Braylon. They are future baseball players! They are a year apart (couldn't tell that by their size) and they play really good together. As you can see we got them to pose for a photo:)

Braxton took the chance to slide into home on this one. This is the team we beat 24-1. Braxton slid around the guy (which he was later told to slide right thru them) and he got under the tag! He still hadn't touched home plate so he threw his foot out and hit it. He was SAFE!!! WHEW..... it had me a nervous wreck. Not like it was going to make or break the game.

Here he is getting ready to catch a pop fly. Braxton played some great ball over the weekend. We had several people tell us how good he did. That really made us proud. He did some pitching too. You guys have seen several pitching pictures in the past so I won't share them this time. Although my new camera really caught some good facial expressions.

Here is the whole team after the game. They received a trophy and medals. They sure were proud!


We will be leaving Wednesday after we get off work to head for Cassville, MO. It is about 6 hours from here. We play at 1 on Thurs. and then again on Friday. It is double elimination. So depending on how we do those two days will determine when we come home. If we play for the Championship we won't head home until Sunday! It could be a long weekend.
I hope everyone had a great 4th. We did! We watched fireworks with lots of friends at Boonville. They really put on a show.
Better run, I have lots to do. We have a game tonight, Bronson's birthday party tomorrow night and then we leave on Wed. When am I going to pack???? Good question......
