Yesterday I mentioned that I would show you Teresa's NEW Sports line...and well, I did do a few layouts, but I really have NO SKILLS when it comes to taking shots of 12 x 12 layouts, but I will show you them anyway...
a little about the photos. 2007 was Ben's last year of playing Little League. He was still at a "Coach Pitch" level and at the end of the season they let the boys pitch. Ben not only pitched and hit the batter, when he was up to bat, he whacked the ball straight on at the pitcher...and hit him.
Ben does not do well with stuff like that (no one does) but that was it. His Baseball carrer was over. The thing that is hard as a parent is knowing and seeing how good a child can be at something when they can't....But...Ben LOVES Baseball and because one of my best (non-scrappy) friends son is HUGE into baseball and they have been entertaining us all summer with games almost everyday, I think the spark has re-entered his heart...we will see.
anyways...the best part of this layout (besides the amazing product, duh!) is the fact that Ben is playing baseball & is wearing a football sweat band on his wrist (from the school holiday gift shop) oh, and his lil pinky is sticking out (I am SURE that is for balance!)
I LOVE MEMORIES, gosh, aren't they grand??? really, here is my dorkness coming out, but I just LOVE the way that you can look at an old photo and just know the details. The problem is, only I know the little things which, if I do not journal, no one else will know...That is a hint for my "non-scrappy" friends....
Here is one of Jack, also from two years ago. The thing about my kids is that they LOVE to play just about anything..but they are like me, not real competitive..take that back, when Ben is playing Yahtzee...he is competitive (and almost ALWAYS wins)
anyways..this was Jack's last year of Triple A. It was time for him to move up, and he did not want to, which is a real bummer because he is really a great First base player and he made some great friends on this team...and the coaches were great...and the families were great...gosh, I think I miss it more than they do!
All of the elements for this new line are perfect for not only all of the action shots for ANY sport, but also those dugout photos, field photos, side line moments and not just for boys...You need to go over to Teresa's blog to check out what she did for Gentry's Drill Team for Good Morning Utah...
okay..gotta go kit, kit, kit!
Have a great day!
