So I have entered the world of sports. And it is like a new undiscovered world for me. I do not know the lingo, the style, nor the proper etiquette.
But I do know that you cannot go wrong with pink. Therefore, we got a pink helmet, pink cleats, and a pink bat.
I so think these factors enabled us to succeed in our foreign exchange program into sports. 
I only shouted, "Push them back, sack the quarterback" once. 
She calls me her Aunt in public now. 
But really my girl has some skillz.
I am pretty sure it is all the time I have spent doing drills in the backyard. I am so thankful all that sweat and hard work is paying off. The rewards of parenting are amazing.
Then they tell me she has batting cage practice Saturday morning...uhm, WHAT?
Middle Twerp cannot wait for his season to begin...
Patience is not a virtue of his.
And Baby Twerp?
Well, he thinks he is playing...
His season is in full swing.
And let me tell ya, he is gonna be great. Kinda.
And Country Girl? She spent half the time telling Eldest Twerp to put on her mitten and the other half looking for her sunglasses. Oh Lordy-Be. Just look where they were. 
Ready? Okay!

haha nicely done!
ET looks like a natural! Okay, here is a common cheer heard at softball and baseball (when your team is up to bat) "We want a pitcher, not a belly itcher!" I know, it is a cruel sport. This cheer could get you thrown out of the park, as will "Hey Ump, are you blind?"
Also commonly heard from knowing parents:
When your team is up to bat:
"Eye on the ball" Encouraging words
"Make contact" means hit the ball
"Base hit!" takes the pressure off of them to get a home run.
"Out a the park" and "c'mon slugger!" intimidates the other team.
When your team is on the field:
"Watch the runner!" someone is about to steal a base
"Shake it off!" when they screw up or get hurt
"Hustle!" and "Look Alive!" means get serious about it, stop picking daisies, etc.
Basically they can't hear you out there anyway so don't stress it too much.
You'll pick up a few more as the season goes on!
I just love baseball/softball. It's what I live for.!!!!! I love baby twerp and his glove on upside down.
I hope we will get regular updates on the season as it starts, can't wait to hear how good Eldest Twerp is.!!!!
You can't go wrong in pink! Thats fo-sure! But who are those really big girls behind ET. I hope they are not on her team!
If you really want some bench cheers, let me know, my 2 girl twerps know them all.
