Rockies Fun!!

Abby and Blake at the Rockies Dodgers Game

Britton at one of his baseball games this summer. He was so proud to wear the #5 (same as Cargo!)

We got to go to a game with Uncle Brett, Austin, and Grandpa earlier in the summer. Britton has been so lucky- 3 games this summer! (Thanks to Uncle Brian's girlfriend who shares her tickets!!)

Rockies Fans.
If you spent 24 hours in our house, you would realize quickly that much of Britton's life right now revolves around the Colorado Rockies. He knows every player, their stats, and will watch every game, all 9 innings if we let him. School, homework, and now flag football, piano, and cub scouts are all interfering with Britton's nightly routine of settling down in front of the tv to watch his Colorado Rockies play. He manages to stay on top of the games he misses, as he will run downstairs the morning after they play and get on MLB.com to watch all the highlights. I have been impressed with his memory skills and he will tell me all the stats, standings, players histories and more information about "Cargo," "Tulo", and "Dex Fow" then I thought I would ever know.

Nevertheless, I truly do love the fact that Britton loves sports. Blake and I are sports minded people and we love to watch them, and participate in them as well. We loved watching Britton play baseball this summer and would crack up at the intensity this kid would display on the field. He does more fist pumps then any one else on the team. He truly loves it. During one of the games, his team was behind by 8 in the second inning. I looked over and Britton was crying. Sobbing. He could not STAND that they were losing. Thankfully, his team came back and one that game, but we had to have a talk with him about being a gracious loser. This kid doesn't like to lose. I am thinking he gets that from Blake, who recently came home after a tennis match and proudly announced to the family, "Well guys, someone's gotta win. It might as well be me.!" Wow.
