Game #5 Dodgers vs Braves!!

I know all of you already know how amazing the Dodger boys are!! I have to tell you how amazing the Dodger parents are! The team all kicked in and bought me a TELEPHOTO LENS for my camera!! Is that not the greatest thing? I am just blown away by the gesture from all the parents. They tried to give it to me at practice on Wednesday, but of course that was the one practice I chose not to go to! Jordan has been begging me to let her stay home from one of Jacob's practices. This seemed as good a time as any! So, Jacob and Rob come home from practice and Jacob hands me a present! I couldn't believe it. I have been wanting a new lens for ages. I am so grateful to our team. Thank you again to all of you. This has to be THE VERY BEST TEAM MOM PRESENT EVER!!!!

Here are the first pictures with my awesome new lens! Enjoy being up close and personal with the Dodgers!!

Parker is all over that one!

This is Dylan's Uncle Justin. The poor guy was just sitting quietly in the stands, ready to watch his nephew play some ball when I go over to him and ask him to help us coach that day. 2 of our coaches couldn't make it this morning! He agreed to help us out even though, I later found out, that he is NOT a morning person! Thanks Uncle Justin!!
