March 3, 2012 was Opening Day for Little League. This is one of the biggest days for Little League. They have a parade, say the Little League Oath, take team pictures, win awards for Slugfest and play their first exhibition game. We had a very long day ahead of us. Gene had his own tournament that weekend so it was me and the boys. Our day went something like this 8AM meet at the field for pictures (in the freezing cold), 9:15AM line up for parade, 10AM parade starts, 11AM Slugfest Awards/Intro Staff, 11:45AM Run home for a nap, 1:45PM back to field to warm up for 2PM game! Needless to say we were all pretty exhausted, but it was so worth it. It turned out to be a beautiful day and Gene even made it to watch Trenton’s first game. I think Trace is starting to adjust to the baseball lifestyle we live and didn’t give me much trouble at all.
I did however forget my camera, TWICE! Thankfully my friend was there and snapped a few with her camera and my sister showed up with her camera so I was able to get a lot of memories from this special day!
Showing Daddy what he looked like before his big day!
Isa and Trace hanging out waiting for the parade to begin! 
Not the greatest pic, but Trenton and his team being announced as they walk in the parade!
My little #10 (That was Gene’s # at UH)
Apparently the day was already starting to catch up to Trace because he almost fell asleep on his blanket during the parade. 
The Blue Claws played their first game and Trenton got 2 hits off the coaches pitch! I was so proud that he didn’t have to use the tee!
Getting ready to hit…
Swing!
Trenton puts all of his heart and soul into hitting. He is not into fielding at all. He honestly would rather pick dirt or on this particular day they were playing music so he put on a dance party for all the fans! You have to love the innocence of T-Ball! Now, when your Dad is a hardcore baseball coach dancing on 3rd or 1st isn’t acceptable, but I say let him have fun now. We have plenty of years of serious baseball!
Playing 3rd!
Getting down to the Michael Jackson song that was playing!
After his second hit he was dancing it up on 1st AGAIN! My sweet angel just can’t resist the sound of a good beat!
Post Game the Blue Claws enjoying snack!
All of the kids have their names on the back of their hats
So proud of himself!
A little brother time!
Trace throwing his sippy because he throws everything. We have one who likes to hit and one who likes to throw. Good combination if you ask me!
