Going, Going... GONE!!

today was a great day for our family...

we witnessed our son [my stepson] hit his FIRST home-run!! it was game 2 of his double header down in beautiful San Carlos. the sun was shining, the field was amazing and Andrew was up to bat! Andrew is a power hitter, he's got a lot of heart & skill when he plays! when the ball hit the bat, my husband jumped up and the stands went wild!! in little league tournaments, cones are placed on the field to represent a "fence." that ball cleared the cones and we all knew it. Andrew rounded first base, on his way to second and looked over at his dad [he thought it was a ground roll double] but his dad, LOUD and CLEAR told him "HOMERUN DREW, come on home!!" the look on his face was priceless... he's not the fastest kid, but it didnt matter cause he could take his sweet time around the bases! it was such a cool feeling to see him so proud and hitting each base while the rest of his team came out of the dugout to greet him at home plate!! they were jumping, yelling, slapping high fives!! he was a hero to his team, it was so awesome!! he was given the ball as a keepsake, his auntie dated the ball so he will never forget that game :)

the Pacifica Heat won their first game tonight, but didnt end up winning this game. they put up a good fight and made a lot of great plays.. the highlight was definitely Andrew's Home Run! my husband was so excited, it was like he hit the home-run himself! he is a very proud dad tonight and i must say im a proud stepmom! dylan, of course couldnt wait to see the ball and tell his big bro "good job!" he looks up to him and im sure they will still be talking about this game when they grow up and have kids of there own...

i repeat...

today was a great day!
