Baseball & Softball

This spring, Katy and Shjon played baseball and fast pitch softball. They both loved it. Bill was the coach on Shjon's team and Shjon thought that was really cool. Katy really enjoyed playing on the girls fast pitch team. They played competitively and ended up taking 1st place for the season! She was so excited of course.

We went on an awesome trip between Christmas and New Years. We went to Philadelphia and saw the Liberty Bell, Independance Hall, and lots of other cool stuff, then we went to Boston and walked the Freedom trail. It winds thru downtown Boston, and is really cool. Our last stop was New York City. We saw the Statue of Liberty, the WTC memorial, and where they are building the new one. We went to time square and saw where the ball would drop on new year's eve. Then we went back to VA and spent 2 days with Bill's dad, and brothers. It was an awesome time. We learned and saw alot of history about how this country became a free one. It was awesome. ~ freezing cold, but awesome!!!

Goodbye Hair!

Katy got her hair cut, and we were able to save it and sent it in to locks of love! She loves having it short, and I was so proud of her for waiting until it was long enough to give away.

We had "snow" much fun a few weeks ago, we got about 4 inches of snow, and the boys made the most of it! They made snow angels and this snowman that was over 6 feet tall. We hardly ever get snow here, and knowing it would all melt away really fast, we had a good time while it lasted!

Jayden's Columbia Cyclone 18u travel team played in the championships this weekend, in Columbia, SC. They played 4 games to get them to the finals, then won the championship 3 to 1! Congratulations!!!! It was so exciting to watch them all play together.

Our Family

We just got fall family photos taken by my friend, Tracy Seconi. I'm so excited about them, because we went somewhere and had them done on location for the first time. I'm sending one out in Christmas cards that's different than these, but these are a few of my favorites.

This Summer in South Dakota

We had a great trip out west this summer. The kids and I drove out to Utah, and spent 3 weeks all over the state. On our way home, we went to The Crazy Horse Monument, Mount Rushmore, and the Badlands while we were in South Dakota. It was awesome.
