2010 SUMMER FULL OF BASEBALL










WOW! THE SUMMER OF 2010 IS COMING TO A CLOSE. WE ONLY HAVE A FEW WEEKS LEFT UNTIL SCHOOL STARTS BACK AND WE ARE BACK IN THE ROUTINE OF GETTING UP EARLY..UGH.. MAKING SURE WE ARE A SLEEP BEFORE MIDNIGHT AND DOING HOMEWORK AND STUDYING FOR TEST.. WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE THAT BOTH OF THE BOYS LOVE THEIR SCHOOLS AND LOVE GOING TO SCHOOL BUT WE SURE DO HATE TO SEE SUMMER COME TO A END.. THAT NOT ONLY MEANS WE HAVE TO BE IN A ROUTINE BUT IT ALSO MEANS ANOTHER YEAR OLDER, WHICH MAKES ME SAD!!BUT THIS SUMMER HAS BEEN FUN AND WE HAVE DONE ALOT OF THINGS HERE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, WE COULDN'T PLAN A VACATION OUT OF STATE UNTIL THE VERY END BECAUSE WE HAVE PLAYED BASEBALL EVERY SINGLE WEEK AND WEEKEND AND PRACTICED 2 TIMES A WEEK. THANK GOODNESS WE ALL LOVE THE SPORT. WE HAVE REALLY MET SOME NICE PEOPLE AND MADE SOME NEW FRIENDS AND HAVE GROWN CLOSER TO THE FRIENDS THAT WE ALREADY HAD AND WE HAVE JUST HAD A BLAST WATCHING THE BOYS PLAY..PHILLIP DECIDED TO TRY OUT FOR A HIGH SCHOOL PREP TEAM AND MADE THAT TEAM BUT ALSO DID SO GOOD IN THEIR TRYOUTS THAT THE COACH OF A SELECT TEAM ASKED HIM TO PLAY FOR THEM SO HE WAS THRILLED AND SO WERE WE..HE HAS PLAYED SELECT BALL BEFORE BUT NOTHING THIS INTENSE.WOW TALK ABOUT COMPETITIVE, THIS IS SERIOUS BALL BUT IT HAS BEEN GOOD FOR ALL OF US TO REALLY SEE WHAT COACHES EXPECT OF THEIR BALL PLAYERS AND THE PARENTS. IT IS ALSO GOOD TO SEE AND HEAR THAT CHUCK IS NOT THE ONLY PARENT WHO GETS INTENSE..LOL.. HE LOOKS VERY MILD COMPARED TO SOME..:) PHILLIP IS PLAYING WITH GUYS WHO ARE HIS AGE AND OLDER AND FROM ALL DIFFERENT HIGH SCHOOLS HERE IN THE AREA AND HAS REALLY ENJOYED GETTING TO PLAY AS MUCH AS HE HAS. HE HAS DEFINITELY IMPROVED AND WE HAVE SEE BIG GROWTH IN HIM IN EVERY POSITION THAT HE HAS PLAYED. LAST NIGHT HE PLAYED A DOUBLE HEADER AND HE ACTUALLY SAID HE WAS EXHAUSTED,WE HAVE NOT HEARD THAT ALL SUMMER. LAST WEEK HE PLAYED 6 DAYS IN A ROW, I WAS EXHAUSTED JUST WATCHING HIM BUT HE NEVER SAID A WORD. HE STILL HAS A FEW TOURNAMENTS TO PLAY IN AT THE END OF THIS MONTH AND THEN FALL BALL STARTS BUT HE LOVES IT SO THERE FOR WE DO WHATEVER WE CAN TO MAKE SURE HE PLAYS.. HIGH SCHOOL BALL WILL START AND HE IS LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT AGAIN SO FOR NOW THE LAWN CHAIRS ARE STAYING IN THE BACK OF THE CAR..PEYTON ON THE OTHER HAND.... HE PLAYED SPRING LEAGUE BALL AND HIS TEAM WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP AND SO FROM THERE HE MADE THE ALL STARS TEAM AND PLAYED IN THOSE GAMES AND HE DID VERY WELL, HE IS SUCH A HITTER, HE HAS SO MUCH STRENGTH IN HIS SWING THAT WHEN HE IS UP TO BAT EVERYONE ON THE OTHER TEAMS COACHES AND PLAYERS START YELLING BACK UP BACK UP, WE ALL LOVE THAT.. HE DID NOT PLAY SUMMER BALL, THANK GOODNESS AS BUSY AS WE HAVE BEEN WITH PHILLIP, I SERIOUSLY DONT KNOW HOW WE WOULD HAVE DONE IT WITH BOTH BECAUSE WE TRAVEL ALL OVER SO THAT WAS A BLESSING..HE IS DEFINITELY READY TO START FALL BALL AND HAS MISSED THE GAME BUT HAS STAYED IN SHAPE BY PRACTCING AS MUCH AS HE COULD WITH CHUCK AND PHILLIP SO HE WILL BE READY WHEN THAT TIME COMES. HE HAS TOLD US THAT HE WANTS TO TRY OUT FOR SELECT BALL FOR THE FALL SO STAY TUNED FOR MANY MORE BASEBALL UPDATES ON THE RAY BOYS.. THIS MOMMA AND DADDY WILL BE BURNING THE HIGHWAYS UP TO WATCH BOTH OF THEM PLAY. WE HAVE SO MUCH FUN WATCHING THEM AND CHEERING THEM ON. WE ARE SO BLESSED WITH THESE 2 HEALTHY BOYS AND THANK GOD FOR ALLOWING US TO BE THEIR PARENTS!! THANKS FOR MAKING US A PART OF YOUR DAY..
