YODER FAMILY: Good Ending to KSU Baseball

I was lucky enough a few weeks back to travel to Houston, TX to be with Brandon and to watch K-State baseball play in their very first NCAA Regional Tournament ever. It was a great weekend for K-State and for K-State baseball history. While I was there I was able to watch 2 fantastic games that K-State won. It was hard to get on the plane and fly back home and many of the people are blaming us for leaving. If you are a baseball fan than you know that you don't mess with karma and there was good karma going on while we were there and after we left it all went down hill. It was hard to listen to the Cats lose the next 2 games on the radio and to get knocked out the NCAA tournament. It was a great season and the best in school history and all I can say is that I was so glad that we were able to be a small part of that and to watch it all.

On a last minute decision both Brandon and I thought that it would be best that Peyton stay back with Grandma and Grandpa Yoder. At first I really wanted to have her there with me, but once I got there and went to the games I was so glad that she was not there. The weather was so HOT and I was dying of sweat and it could have been worse with having to hold her during the games. I am sure that Peyton had more fun in Iowa than she would have had in Texas. So Brandon and I had another weekend of practice getting ready to leave for our trip to HI in a couple of weeks without having Peyton with us. It was a fun trip and none of the other baseball kiddos made the trip so it was even better for all of us to enjoy a little grown up time together.

Here are many pictures of the weekend!

K-State and Xavier before the first game of the NCAA Regional Tournament

The games were played at Reckling Stadium at Rice University. It was a beautiful stadium to play in and a very different view than what we are use to seeing in Manhattan.

Cats took care of business and won the first game 16-8!

Cats make history with NCAA tournament first win

Way to go Cats!

After the game we all got together and went out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Brandon and I are showing that we are doing okay without Peyton. We have already had a few margarita's in this picture...can you tell?

We all had a good laugh riding around in this minivan.

Is he faking it?

Playing under the lights and watching AJ Morris do what he does best

The ninth inning was more exciting than we would have liked but we won 7-6 and the feeling was awesome. All the Baseball Wives very excited about the Cats win!

Cats win 7-6!

I had a good laugh watching the guys stand around and watch the game tracker of the Texas game that went 25 innings

Back in Kansas and over at the Tadtman's house listening to the game on the radio and the girls are having fun looking at the dogs

Still checking out the dogs

Happy Girl!

Many reasons that this trip was so great was because it was a great way to go out with K-State Baseball. Many of you might or might not know that Brandon has accepted the position as the Head Men's Basketball trainer for K-State next year. It has been bittersweet leaving Baseball, but at the same time we are very excited for this new challenge in Brandon's career and it is a great promotion for all the hard work that he has been doing to get this chance.
