Baseball Season

The boys have been having a great time playing baseball this year. We are fortunate enough to have them on the same team. Robbie also volunteered to coach and has been having a fun time with his boys. I would have to agree there is nothing better than a summer night at the ballpark. They finish out their season this week with an end of the year tournament.

Just wanted to put a shout out to our team sponsor Bob Smith Motors!


This is one of my favorite pictures of Dayton. I think he just looks like a true little ballplayer.


Coach Robbie rallying his team.


The boys got to play in the majors field this particular day so I think they felt pretty cool in the big guys dugout.

Dawson's First Communion

We were all so proud of Dawson!! We can't wait to do it again next year with Dayton.


Dawson with his sponsor Grandma Diane.

In April Dawson was confirmed and had his first communion. He was supported by many family members from both sides of the family. After mass we had a wonderful celebration over at the house.

Just want you all to know we are still here. I have not updated for quite some time and am looking forward to getting some new pictures up soon. I am tired of looking at these winter photos. We have gotten a new computer and trying to get through the last week of school!!! Look for some new photos coming soon!!!

Spring Break.....Day2

Day 2 in Salt Lake was spent tubing. We drove up to Solider Hollow where the Olympic cross country skiing was and decided to try our luck again at the sport of downhill tubing. I recall last time we went was in Denver and I don't think my arms ever recovered from being yanked on when the tow rope stopped. This was much more enjoyable. They just hook you on and you are on your way. It was an absolutely beautiful day. We practically had the place to ourselves. We enjoyed the music, the sun and wind on our faces and a delicious picnic lunch. Then we headed into town for the Grizzly hockey game. I only managed to get a couple pictures of the hockey game. I am not sure why maybe the $2 beers had something to do with it;)

Grandma Diane was screaming bloody murder the whole way down. Somehow she always ended up going down backwards. Not sure how I captured this photo as I was laughing hysterically.


Grandma Diane and I were in the lane next to these guys going down. I think they might have beat us by a hair.


A few from the top. Grandpa Dave and Dawson heading down together.


Dayton decided he needs to eat a few more vegetables because he didn't quite get the speed going down the hill that Grandpa Dave did.

Spring Break......

This year for Spring Break I took the boys down to Salt Lake to visit the old folks. We had a week full of fun and nonstop action. I know the boys had a lot of fun. First thing on the agenda was meeting Grandpa Dave at Red Robin for lunch and a little bowling after. Grandma Diane put on a good showing, but I still managed to beat her 2 out of 3. Better luck next time Granny!


Grandma Diane and Dayton wait their turn

Dawson goes for a strike.......

Dayton's birthday weekend

Well it is hard to believe our baby is 7 years old now. We had a fun weekend celebrating over the 1st of March. He had a magic party with some of his friends on Saturday. He and his brother also got to skate at intermission of the Bulls game that night and get autographs in their locker room when the game was over. On Sunday we celebrated over at Buffalo Wild Wings with some of his grandparents. I think he had a fun time and he told me that he thinks he is growing because the toilet is getting shorter!


Yummy, yummy!!!

The big finale. I hope your wish comes true Dayton! Your family loves you!
