Pitch 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Dad, Allie and Emma are involved in coach pitch ball. The girls are having fun it makes it extra special when Dad is the coach.










Allie was playing catcher at the last game. She looks awesome all decked out in catcher gear. Allie was very excited she hit the ball and got on base.











Emma had a great time in the field. She has some good moves too!! No hit this game for Emma but she has been on base several times. There aren't any strikes in coach pitch just five pitches and then you move on. I know Emma will get another hit soon!!

Good by, Hello

We say good by to our trusted 98 Dodge Grand Caravan. It lived with our family for 7 years. Parting ways with 208,000 miles, and small oil leak and few bumps dents and many stories. Good by old red....

Hello....what good is a good by if it can't be followed by a Hello!! We have invited a 2003 Ford Expedition with 76,000 miles to come live with our family. It seems almost new with so few miles. The best feature is it seats 9 the least impressive would have to be gas mileage of course.
Hello, big green!!

No training wheels

Jackson rides his bike like a mad man with training wheels. Lloyd decided last Saturday to teach him how to ride without training wheels. You ask how it went, I think the pictures tell the story well.

Sweet moments...

Lloyd caught this sweet moment awhile ago at bedtime.

Jackson and Reuben Start Soccer

Reuben and Jackson started soccer last Saturday. They both had a great time when it came time to play the game. Before they started playing the game they had to do the normal dribbling, passing and shooting on goal exercises. Jackson and Reuben both lost interest in the drills. Most of the time Jackson was just running and kicking the ball around the field.
Dad got a little too involved with the drills and he ended up have to help coach the kids.

Family Editing

For Christmas I received Adobe Photoshop Elements 6
I am now just getting around to try and teach myself how to use it.
I must say it was nice to change faces of the kids for ones in a better shot. I couldn't figure out how to change Reuben's face without it leaving a 3rd arm on Allie. I am sure to figure it out someday!
