Happy # 6

Kaleb is 6 today and I am ever so grateful that this little man is a part of our family.

We had his party last Saturday at the bowling alley with a bunch of his friends and family. He had a blast, the kids had a blast, and the adults had a blast, let's just say it was AWESOME!!

He even got a strike!!!

Today we had his family party and it was a lot of fun. We had cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and then I took his class some cookies to eat at school. He wanted choc. chip pancakes for dinner, and then we went to Goodberry's for ice cream. It was a wonderful day, and he LOVED it!





I love this last picture!! My silly family:)

Kaleb, I LOVE YOU BUBBA!!

Throw like a GIRL!!!

Hailey had a wonderful baseball season. This was her first year with coach pitch and she did AWESOME!! I was so proud of her and how hard she worked. When she was frustrated with her hitting, she practiced and listened to what her coaches and family said to help her. She actually hit a double in one of her games!! We cannot wait till next season.

In this video she got a great hit, and since she was last batter she got all around the bases:)

Memorial Day

We had a great Memorial Day. We played some tennis, headed out to the pool, and then had some fabulous hamburgers at my parents house. To top it off we watched "Saints at War", which was awesome. I am so thankful for all the men and women who sacrificed their lives so that my family can enjoy the freedoms we have.

Happy #2

I can't believe this adorable little baby.....

Is this handsome little man

Blake is now 2 years old!! It sure is crazy how time flies. We had a great time celebrating his birthday this past Friday. We had pizza for dinner and then went to Skinny Dip for dessert. On Sunday, we had a little party with just the family and it was great! Hot dogs and brats for dinner and a yummy cake for dessert. It was so fun to have the family there. Blake loved his presents and really enjoyed opening them. He was so cute, because when he opened a present and we told him who it was from, he thought he was supposed to give them the gift. He smiled and then would hand the gift back, and then smiled even bigger when we told "no, no they are for you". I love Blake so much, his smile just brightens my day. He is all boy and loves to do everything his older siblings do. I am so blessed he is a part of our family!!!

The Winning Shot

Well, I just have to post this for my awesome wife. Katie had a playoff basketball game this past Monday at Trinity Baptist and it was very exciting! Her team was down by three points 44-47 with one minute left on the clock. Katie gets the ball and swings it to a wide open teammate at the top of the key. Katie gets the assist as her teamate knocks down the three and ties the game at 47. Katie's team plays great defense on the other end and gets the ball back with like 20 seconds left and runs the floor. Katie this time gets the ball at the top of the key and passes to the wing on the left side and then cuts to the basket and she receives a bounce pass and Katie makes a beautiful layup with about 6 seconds left on the clock to put them up 49-47 and then Katie's team steals the inbound pass and held it for the last 3 sec. and the game was over. It was an awesome game that had a spectacular ending. It was really fun to watch. Our daughter Hailey ran up to Katie at the end of the game hugging and cheering "You made the winning shot!! And I saw it!" Katie, I am so proud of you and so grateful you are my wife! I love you and thank you for all that you do. You are the best!
