400th WIN!!!

On Thursday Brady and I headed back to Kimballton so we could go to the high school baseball game. My dad was coaching his possible 400th career win!!! They were playing a team they had beaten before but that never means it is a guaranteed win. However, they did manage to win in 5 innings 11-1! To say that Brady had fun at the game is a monstrous understatement!!!! He reminded me of myself when I was younger, playing at the ball field as that is where we spent ALL SUMMER! He was having a blast running around and of course being the entertainment for pretty much everyone at the game. During the JV game, he got to sit with grandpa in the dugout when the Spartans were out in the field, which Brady LOVED but when Grandpa had to go out and coach at 3rd base, Brady wasn't so happy...it was so cute, he would stand by the fence and cry out for grandpa and put his arms up cuz he wanted him to pick him up...After the JV game was over, Grandpa even let Brady run around on the field while he got it ready for the Varsity game...all of you that know my dad--this is HUGE!!! That baseball field is his 4th child, I swear! :-)
After the last out of the game, his players surrounded him and my uncle Tom (his assistant coach) gave a really nice Congrats speech and I know my dad was really surprised with it all (he didn't even know Brady and I were coming back for the game) and the parents also got him a cake to celebrate! It is such an awesome accomplishment and we are so proud of him!
Here are some pics!

Brady was chomping at the bit for Grandpa to pick him up...so of course he had to be in the pictures!

Yay! 400 WINS!!!
