Game Ball

I'm a little behind on this post...

Last Thursday the wind BLEW. This is nothing new for Lubbock, but not only did the wind blow...it was COLD...and Hayden had a baseball game. All three rolled up in one.

This did not faze boy wonder. I, however sat with Nannie under about 5 blankets.

Let me set the scene. We are tied. Hayden gets up to bat. He knocks THE SNOT out of the ball...and gets on FIRST BASE. He runnnnnnss as fast as he can to do this.

I can't really explain how Hayden runs. But that boy tries hard. It's like his knees are bound together with a rubber band. :)

So while the wind blows, and Hayden runs, he ends up running to Third base on a hit.

Remember. We are tied. This is some serious stuff. So our friend Cy Hill SENDS HAYDEN TO STEAL HOME on an overthrow.

And I About Died.

The blankets come away. I am up screaming, "Run Hayden Run"

It's a scene from Forrest Gump



that quickly turns to this scene from Chicken Little


(fast forward to the end if you'd like)

Mind you- however - Hayden is a fantastic baseball player. :)

His little legs are spinning. He is headed to HOME. When the opposite team gets wind of this - the little boy heads to home too...and tags Hayden about TWO feet from the plate. (Refer to Chicken Little)

OH. NO.

BUT WAIT! Hayden is such a big boy that he knocks the ball OUT of the little guys hand! And it ROLLS away from the plate!

HAYDEN!!!! TOUCH THE BASE, TOUCH THE BASE!!! Everyone in the stands screams. All the coaches scream.

So.

Hayden "jogs" to the plate....plants both feet. Jumps in the air and WITH MIGHTY MIGHTY force...lands both FEET ON THE PLATE FOR A SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!! And as he lands...all the dust underneath the plate comes bellowing out!

At the end of the game Coach Chad awarded Hayden the much desired Game Balllll (insert Echo)
GO HAYDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)





I'm not proud or anything :)
