Birthday Boys!

Gabriel turned four on May 26th and Ryan turned thirteen on May 30th. They had a nice birthday party, lots of gifts and cake. We got Ryan a soccer goal and Gabriel a bike, they loved their gifts.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day this year Gabriel sang in church. Chance is sick with hand/foot/mouth and cried the entire day. Pat and I were ready to scream after a few hours of this, but I enjoyed my hanging basket and new bracelet from all the boys.

Baseball Already!

Tristan has started baseball with the 10 year old traveling team. The Red Wing Raptors. He is a great catcher and also pitched the first couple innings. He hit a double and did score a run, but the team lost. Better luck next game. David and Ryan commented on how Tristan is a much better ball player they they were at ten. They have taught Gabe to hit the ball, it's neat watching all the boys play catch in the yard. Chance is the ball....j/k :)

Ryan's Soccer Season

Ryan's soccer season has started. He had a tournament last weekend in Cottage Grove, with 11 soccer fields going simultaneously. Ryan's one of the smallest on his team, but he sure does seems to be the most fit. He seems to always be where the ball is. It's fun to watch.

Back from Florida

Finally, my Mom and Dad are back from their winter hide-away in Florida. Beside's looking rested and "tan", they brought back oranges and grapefruit and lots of pictures. Now to the lawnwork they have to do up here, certainly different from the palm trees of Florida. The boys were glad to go see them Sunday.

Tristan's Birthday

Happy 10th B-day Tristan (April 3rd). We got him a new baseball glove and a pitching net. Thanks to everyone for all the gifts, he really enjoyed the clothes and cash and gift cards. Below he is with a couple friends who slept over on Friday night and then went to the YMCA.

David's New Car

His 1st car. David got a deal on a 1995 Ford Escort. High miles but...
very nice stereo, drives good. It's a stick shift.....and from what Pat says, David needs lots of practice.
