Hayley had her first base ball game of the 2010 season last night. This year she is playing for the braves and has wonderful coaches! She was very excited and nervous fro her game and really wanted her dad to be there. About half an hour after the game started Hayley was all smiles when she noticed her dad in the stands. She has improved dramatically since last year and is one of the tallest players on her team. She proudly wears number 14 and walks to the plate when it's her turn to bat with confidence I haven't yet seen in her. Over all she has three at bats resulting in one base hit and two doubles. Anyone who has seen Hayley run knows that two doubles is amazing since she runs pretty slow! She played left center, right center, short stop, and pitcher. She made several good plays and was quick to get in front of the ball not letting anything past her. I am so proud of her and the growth I see in her confidence and skills on a daily basis. I love seeing her happy and the sparkle she gets in her eye when she is proud of herself.
We are huge base ball fans and our family has housed minor league base ball player since I was a little girl. Salem-Keizer has a farm team (the Volcanoes) for the SF Giants so we are devoted Giants fans. Last night Hayley said "Oh NO, mom were playing the Giants"... It was very cute. Emma enjoyed picking daisy's and sitting in the grass and we happily cheered, welcoming the start of a new season and new memories. This Meier family is eagerly saying "Take me out to the ball game!"
