Landon with his trophy

Landon was in a baseball tournament at Bently Fields in Bixby this weekend. He played 5 games in 2 days. We all had a ball watching him but it wore out little Laken. Landon's team had some really great plays and they won 2nd place. They all got a trophy so it was very exciting. Landon hit his first home run during game 1 of the tournament. I had told him that if he could hit a home run in the game the week before that I would give him $100 but said nothing about this game. After running the bases, he got back to the dug out and his heart was pounding and he was pumped up. I went and congratulated him! A few minutes later, he hollered for me to come back and then asked "Mom, do I still get $100??). He later tried to negotiate to $50 (smart kid) but we haven't settled anything just yet. During the last game, he hit another home run and made a GRAND SLAM and then caught a pop fly and still tagged a kid out on 3rd! (DOUBLE PLAY). I was so excited and proud of him and mainly because he was so happy to have made these accomplishments. He also did a great job cheering on him team as runners would make it home and other great plays. We are lucky to have found such a great team with great parents.
