Go Yankees!!

This year Luke was on the Yankees, playing rookie ball for the first time. Rookie is also known as "Coach Pitch", and we were blessed with a fun-loving and patient coach in Coach Phil. Phil is Tyler Muller's daddy, and lives just around the corner from us.

We have known the Muller's since our La Primera days, when Tyler and Luke were in Miss Alba's class together, so we really enjoyed this time with them. Even more, we were fortunate to have Cole Jacobs, Cooper Reitinger, Grant Mabry, and Cohl Lopez on our team... which meant that the games were as fun for the parents as they were for the boys. We enjoyed several after-hours get togethers, at our house, at the Lopez place, and at Pizza Hut, and had a blast every time. Scott really enjoyed his stint as assistant coach, and Nate loved hiking the park trails with Emmy and getting ring pops from the snack bar.

Luke's skills have really developed and he seems to really enjoy baseball. He fields well and is known as a first-pitch hitter, for his awesome ability to make contact every single time! In the picture below, he waits for the first ball:

Yeah for the Yankees!!! We cannot wait for next season!
