Baseball has Begun

Go Pirates!! Baseball has begun with the Jamboree taking place this past Saturday. Samuel is on the Pirates team this season and their colors are black and gold. The fun thing about this is, my highschool was/is the pirates and our colors were also black and gold. Lots of good memories of cheering for the Pirates so this will be a fun season if nothing else for that reason. However, we have high hopes for a really good season for this little team. They looked really good at their first game this weekend and beat what was expected to be the best team 12 - 3. They were so excited! We are all excited actually about this upcoming season and we are looking forward to a great time. I'm taking bets on how long it will take for John Michael to actually flip over the railing down about 5 feet to the ground below. Way too much excitement down in the dugout that he just wants to be a part of! We will keep you posted on that and on how the Pirates are doing!

Snow Much Fun

What a fun day! Sledding, snow ball fights, snowman building, hot coffee, and just a lot of fun! We even made Snow Cream! And it was really good... Thanks Joseph!

SNOW

Now this is the kind of day I love. I just wish the snow would stick around a little longer. We were up and outside playing well before 8:00 this morning and both boys didn't want to go inside. Samuel spent most of the day outside playing as a matter of fact. I don't think he came in until most of the snow had melted away this afternoon. It was fun while it lasted. Our house/yard was the place to be since we are the only ones who actually own sleds AND we live on a hill. It was so much fun.... See for yourself!

Basketball Highlights

Halftime entertainment for John Michael. Don't even think about it!

Samuel takes it out!

I'm not positive but I think this was a "Yes!" after getting a basket.

The lineup!

Basketball is over but, as always, we had a great time. Samuel had a good season and improved his basketball skills as well. My biggest challenge was keeping John Michael off the court during practice and games. It won't be long till he is out there! Baseball begins this week!
