Baseball Summer '09

Kinda weird that the Stixx logo keeps turning out blue. It is supposed to be red! Anyway...Justin has been playing on 2 teams this year- Stixx for super league and Cubs for city league. Yeah, we've been insanely busy, but what could be more fun- especially since Emily & Brock have been to most of the games! It is such a phenomenal way to spend good quality time with the family! Justin has played very well & of course we are so proud. We've had lots of friends and family come out to watch and it had made our summer so fun. He has played short stop more this season than ever, along with pitching, 2nd, & 3rd base. He really wants to catch so we'll see if he gets to do that more. This is such a fun time of year for us!

Gary and Justin traveled to Omaha Nebraska with the Stixx for the "Slump Buster" tournament. They had an amazing time! What a great season!

Happy Independence Day!

We were invited to Rick's adorable sister Denise's house to celebrate the 4th of July. We had such an amazing time with our family and friends. We live in such an amazing country and I never want to take that for granted. This truly is the greatest place on earth regardless of your political or religious beliefs. Celebrating the birth of this country means more to me than you can imagine. Yes, I'm ridiculously patriotic and make no apologies for it at all! Happy 4th of July!

Baseball with the Swenson & Weis'!

Nothin' like a friendly ball game with yer pals!! It was finally warm enough to play! We spent the day at the park soakin' in the sun & some good bonding time. We love these families and it was such a fun treat- what a great beginning to summer!!
