*Warning* There is a LOT of bragging in this post
Our boys are playing for the Riverdogs this year. I was able to get them on the same team which is a HUGE blessing for us! They are at an age where they are not competitive with each other yet either so it works out really well. Besides it does my heart good to hear the coaches talk about "those Linn brothers" and he is NOT talking about their hyperactivity!

Here are little glimpses of the action tonight!
p.s it was sunny and 70*ish! AMAZING!!
Spencer:
Spence has an AMAZING swing! He looks so comfortable at the plate and his form is awesome. His only issue right now is that he wants to hit a home run every time so he has a tendency to drop his elbow, which causes a few strikeouts. Tonight he went 1 for 3 with a double and 2 RBI's!
Spencer really likes to make sure he can see the plate. It gets a good chuckle out of the spectators.
At this age they only play 4 innings and today they played machine pitch for the first 3 innings and then kid-pitch in the last inning. Spencer was a little bummed that he was not selected as the pitcher so he started pouting in the outfield. His absolutely AWESOME coach went out and squatted next to him and very calmly told him to get off his butt if he wanted to play! I LOVED IT!
Ethan:
Ethan was totally stoked to play catcher in the first inning! And to be fair and unbiased - he is amazing! He was actually digging balls out of the dirt. The other kids that were catching just stood there (some didn't even squat) and let the balls ping off their helmets.
Check out that dig!
Ethan is so good at the bats too! He is the youngest kid on the team but you would never know it watching him with the other kids. He is so good at playing this sport. It must be in his blood. He went 3 for 3!!!! He was batting in the #4 position too!
Getting a little briefing from the coach on the importance of running through first base instead of sliding through!
Sweet beautiful Olivia was her usual charming self. She was actually really good today. Which is very unusual for her, she is not one for the confinement of the stroller when there is a world to explore.

I love it! It's in our blood, huh? I am so proud of the boys. I can't wait to have them here so we can go watch them. Way to go boys.
This last week Garrett--who plays T-Ball still--"cranked" it out into the outfield and he even caught a pop fly which is highly unusual for this age. He is so funny to watch him try not to be smile when he does good.
Seems like we'll be watching baseball for many years to come. I am so glad you like it too, Jeni.
Love you guys!
Love this post; love your family; LOVE your music selection (Take Me Out to the Ball Game"! Your site is so much fun - thanks for keeping us up on your family. I miss you...
Ah these kids are so great! The term Natural Born Talent is quite fitting when it comes to your boys and baseball. Actually, I think it applies to the girls too, Livy has a natural born talent for eating carbs, and Ry is a natural born performer!
