9/10 All-Star Team

Chris and Jack got tapped to be a part of the 9/10 Sierra Foothills Little League All-Star Team...what a learning experience...whoa! Only got to play two games...but if we do it again next year I think we will be much better prepared.

Good times for Ben...movies, swimming, sleepover-OH MY!! Somehow the little guy talked us into a sleepover...had 8 boys over to go see Transformers, swim, eat lots of junk food and of course sleep...lots of sleeping (NOT!!). Time is FLYING by...can't believe he is 8!!

Jack's 4th Grade performance

This time it was a trip around the world to see what California is made of...a little bit of this and that. Jack's class was Hawaii and he did a speech about Duke Kahanamoku-who brought surf culture to California...did a GREAT job and didn't get nervous like he normally does...the guy is growing up!!

Too cool for school

Baseball 2009

The older the boys get, the better baseball gets...more competitive...more action...more excitement! Chris coached both the boys to victory. Ben was on the Storm...loved to catch and was a surprisingly good pitcher. Jack's team was the Padres again...and they LIT IT UP...ended up the season 19-1!! All-stars is starting up in a couple of weeks and Chris will be coaching the team through July...so more baseball is in our future.

Indy 500

SOOOO, I took my first trip to the midwest...and I liked it! We went out to Indiana for the Indy 500. Visited with some of Chris's relatives, enjoyed the race...TONS of people-a little humid but lots of fun...although we may have scarred the boys by the people we saw on the way back to the car after the race-let's just say-WHOA! Also got to go to the biggest Children's museum in the world...who knew it was in Indiana???

We have Jedi mind power...wait, we are Stormtroopers

It's good to be Ben B

Where do I start?? Ben has become quite the man on campus...chattering away, enjoying life and friends. The last couple of months he has given a family heirloom presentation (he got an A...he showed a book that has been in the family since 1874), got to go ride to school in a semi truck (thanks Detwiler Family for the invite), was principal for a day (can't find the picture-darn it) and MC'd a volunteer tea (sorry, pics on my phone and haven't downloaded it yet)

"back in 1874..."

Hop on in...

HONK, HONK

Stopped in for breakfast on the ride to school in a semi!

29 again...or maybe it is really 37??!

I had another birthday last month...friends, family (Ed and Eveyln were in town!), baseball, sushi and an Amazon Kindle...whatelse does a girl need...except botox-just kidding!
