Junior High

Hi everyone its me  GAVIN! Junior High is more fun than I expected it to be. I dont fit in my locker which is something that the other students need to realize (duh)! I just made the cross country team today it really wasnt that hard all I had to do was run around the field behind the school in less than 14 minutes so it wasn't that bad.

Baseball

Hey everybody! This is the last baseball news of the year. Gavin's team played in a couple of tournaments. They had a rough time. They somehow got into a "Super-League" tournament (super league is like the best of the all-stars). They really struggled with that. Gavin, personally, had a pretty good last game. He played center field and caught 6 fly balls! They only played 4 innings, so he was responsible for 1/2 of the outs for the game. It was really cool. He was also one of 2 kids who actually made it to first base safely. (He got out at 2nd. I'm not sure when the other kid got out, but he didn't make it home.) We were really proud of him. He did a great job and always did the best that he could. He pitched for a few games. That's his favorite. Center field can be kind of boring (though it clearly wasn't boring in that last game!) Here are a couple of pictures, look carefully and you can see the ball about to land in his mitt for the 6th catch.

I am stressing about finals, especially Chemistry. I will be done after August 5th and then I start up again on August 20th. 

You guys could start posting stuff here you know...

All Star

I have to brag about my totally AWESOME All-Star, Gavin. The team played a double header on Saturday. Gavin pitched the majority of the first game and pitched NO balls. Meaning that they were either perfect strikes or the batter swung at them. He had a great pitching game, not so great on the batting end. He struck out 3 times in a row and for each of those he didn't swing at the final strike. I don't think there is anything worse for a baseball player than to strike out because you didn't swing. (Okay, that wasn't bragging, I realize, but it makes the next part better.) They won that game by a landslide. I'm not going to get into the second game on Saturday because we lost by a landslide. But, we had a really great game last night. Gavin was the starting pitcher, he walked a few kids, but still did a great job. He had two great hits and scored 2 of our 4 runs. He played 2nd base for the second half of the game and made a really cool double play. He caught a line drive and immediately threw the ball to 3rd base for another out. I love it when he does cool stuff like that! I know that I am normally not a big (or even a little) sports fan, but watching your own kids play and succeed is totally different and I am kind of a crazy fan. 

On a side note, I dissected a cow's eyeball today. It was really squishy and cool! Last week we dissected a sheep's brain. 

Hi guys. I love this idea for a blog. I went on before and wrote a long blurb about us, but like Ty's, it was erased. Hopefully I'll figure this out.



Things are going good for us. We are staying pretty busy this summer. I just painted my bedroom, and it looks really cute. I'll try to post pics sometime. If I can figure that out. Zac's taking three classes this summer to finish his second degree. (He received his A.A.S., not to be confused with any other similar acronymns, this spring. He will receive his A. S. degree after this summer semester.) So between work and school, we don't see eachother a whole lot.



Jolee is getting so big. She saying lots of words. She says please, strawberry, mommy, daddy, baby, car, shoes, etc. All the important stuff. She's so much fun. She likes to climb up on everything. She likes to tap dance on the table in nursery when mom's not looking. She has learned how to kiss people. Her and her little friend Gavin kissed eachother goodbye the other day. It was a little to long of a kiss. (ha, ha) It was pretty funny. She is getting a lot of teeth. Last night she cried off and on all night. (The joys of motherhood. :)) I'll try to post some pics on her for you to see her. (May have to call Kacie or Ty on that one.)



We're so excited to have this blog. It's hard to be away from all of you. (Sometimes. ha, ha. J/K!) Come down and visit us. Can't wait for Karen and her family to come!



Love you all!

Hola

Hi, everyone. I dont really know what to say. But we are all well and happy Claudia and Tatyanna are still at our house and that can be challenging, but still come and visit us just the same. We bought a kiddie pool yesterday just to wade in (much easier maintence). But my neighbor has a huge in ground pool that we are going to quite a bit, with a pool and diving board. I will be able to swim soon. cross my fingers.
Well love ya'll

June 16

Hi guys! Wow! are you impressed that I'm on this site?
I thought I'd be blocked.
So, I like this blog idea. A good way to keep up-to-date with everyone.
My latest news is that I had trouble sleeping last night because I'd just read a really creepy part of New Moon the second in the Twilight series. I wanted to call Kacie at midnight and have her talk me thru it. Instead I read a little further to get my mind to calm down. Holy Cow! But I'm almost done with it. It's been fun reading them.
Father's Day was fun. You know I love having you come and visit. Everyone enjoyed Wii!

Remember it's Aislinn's birthday Thursday. She'll be 3!

I'm having Lasik surgery that day at 3:00 and I'll be taking Friday off to recover. Come and hang out that day if you'd like.
