Colorado Champs

We didn't have a Wyoming state tournament to participate in, so we went to Colorado. John and I missed it all because John was in a wedding in Jackson. A great end to the long season. School will be starting soon and now we have time for some family vacations. Here is a link to the news article. http://www.casperjournal.com/articles/2008/07/23/sports/sports072308c.txt

Catch us if you can...

We have been on the move. Fishing, on the road, family, baseball, on the road again. Between work and baseball we travel the state North to South very often. Luckily, our home base is right in the middle. The 4th was spent in Cheyenne, where fireworks are legal, and boy did the baseball team put on a show! They had the McDonald's parking lot lit up, with plenty of onlookers. No photos, because mom was in the room with sleeping Lizzy. Jonathan is off to Greeley, CO; Ian is going to Cottonwood, ID; John and Heather are heading to Jackson; and Lizzy will be spending this weekend with Aunt Mary.

Pitching 101

Happy Birthday Elizabeth!

Lizzy is 4! She made a Barbie cake with her grandma and she was very proud of it. We celebrated two times. We were in Fort Collins for her actual birthday and we took her shopping. The second celebration was in Casper with family.

Loving the rain

We have had an unusually wet spring. Everything is very green around here. The work around our property is overwhelming. The weeds are out of control and the grass needs cut every few days. I have been very busy. School ended today, so summer is officially here. I love summer with the kids. We have a lot planned and Jonathan and I started our summer with a short round of golf. We had a lot of good laughs.

Track Day for Lizzy

We had a beautiful day for Lizzy's first track day. They participated in all the "big kid" events. Watching 3-5 year olds run the relay race and passing off the baton is so cute. Here are a few photos and a video.

Jon on youtube

Here are a few videos that Jon has been working on: the first is long (5 min.), it is the 2008 snowboarding season. Jon wears the orange pants. The second is a short clip of skateboarding. Warning: You might want to turn down the speakers...
