A star in the making...

Meet Mia...

Mia is my cute niece who just started playing softball this Summer.  She is the oldest of 3 cuties in her family and is on her way to setting an AWESOME example for her little sisters and cousins!! My daughter, Ella, ADORES Mia and wants to do EVERYTHING she does.  So when we got the opportunity to go watch Mia play some ball this weekend we jumped right to it!

We loaded up the kids and took them for wagon rides during the games when they got bored.  Thankfully Marta provided the crayons and books for the older kids.  Tyler and Gracie mostly enjoyed the wagon!!!
Here is Mia playing the field and throwing the ball back to the pitcher...

Here is a close up of Mia ready to catch...

So cute of Steve coaching Mia. BEST. DAD. EVER...

Showing her how to swing...

Mia smacking the ball and getting a hit...

A five from her other coach when she gets to first base...

And running the bases after the big game. Sophie and Ella's favorite part of the game I am sure...

Here is Mia taking care of lil sister, Gracie.  See how they adore her...

All the girls on the field...

Thanks to her big cousin, Mia, Ella hasn't stopped talking about softball yet.  Thank goodness because Daddy wants her to play soccer.  If Mia does it...then I am pretty sure it's safe to say Ella will be doing the same in 3 years. :) Thanks Mia and good job! It was so fun watching you play ball! We love you lots.
