Opening Day-1st Tball Game

Happy Opening Day for Western Little League-Las Vegas! 
The season has started and we had so much fun today!  So many things have made this day extra special!  1-Hudsen is our first baby which makes for our First Tball game as parents. 2-Tim played for Western Little League-Lubbock, TX and Hudsen plays for Western Little League-Las Vegas, NV. 3-King (Bompa) and Tim both have the same little league patch that Hudsen has on his shirt sleeve.  4-Bompa helps coach Hudsen's team!
Tim made the comment when he walked up to the fields this morning that this was nothing like his opening days!  They had a raffle, silent auction, games and blowup slides, obstacle courses and a really good concession stand!  Hudsen had so much fun on the slides and Nolen didn't want any part of them!  At 11:30am, they began to gather up all the teams for the parade and opening ceremony that started at 12:00!  There was lots of talking, first pitches and pictures.  Then they opened up the games and slides until the first games that started at 3:30!  Luckily we only live about 7 minutes from the fields so we all came to our house and had hamburgers and hot dogs!  We watched a little college baseball and then headed back to the fields for our first game!!  Now I have heard stories about the first tball game and I have to say that this was one of the best "first" tball games I have seen!  They played 3 full innings and the kids had a lot of fun!
It was a full day of going, going and going and we had fun!  The boys did not nap and were outside playing all day but they did finally give out at 8:30 for Nolen and 9 for Hudsen!  I have looked forward to this day for a long time and it was wonderful!  Here is to many, many more ballgames for The Watts Family!!!

Opening Day 2013!




Having some fun before the parade and ceremonies begin!


Going to sit with the team and get ready for the parade!

Red Wings 2013!  King got this picture before they started the parade!

And here they come!  They were the 2nd team to come in! 

They walked around the bases and then took their spot (in front) for the ceremony!
 
Our Mayor made it out for the festivities!  So cool!

It's almost game time!

Hudsen's first at-bat!

Running to home plate for the first time!

And he touched home!

Playing the pitcher position, where all the action is!  They did rotate the kids so everyone got to be a part of the action!

He's ready!

Fielding a bunt!

Throwing to first!  I am pretty sure we would've gotten this kid out if they kept up with those things in tball!!

Nolen cheering for big brother!

Sweet boy had so much fun and was filthy when we got home!  He loves dirt!  Love him!
 
2nd time batting!

Gatorade time!

3rd time batting!


He loves dirt! 


Running to third!


Such a handsome baseball player!!! Love him!


We touch home for the 3rd time!



Game over! Good game everybody!

 
Go Red Wings!  We look forward to the rest of the season!
