2009 where have you gone?

In February the boys both placed at novice state. Cade placed in Regionals which qualified him for open state. Qualifiers for state above.

Parker placed 5th at novice state.

Spring time started our first year of travel baseball.



Both boys played and it was a lot of baseball!



Summer time always includes the lake and friends. This years we stayed in our new travel trailer and enjoyed our summer nights at the lake along a campfire.



In June Carey and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. Our plans changed due to bad weather for a June trip to Jamaica to a July cruise to Jamaica and Grand Caymans. This was our first cruise and we had so much fun. The boys went with us and enjoyed the islands too!




August ended with a quick trip to Vegas with friends. A broken toe acquired while in Sin City which prevented us from hiking the next day but we still made the best out of a pink jeep tour to Red Rock Canyons.








August also starts the beginning of a VERY long football season. I don't know why this picture is so small but it shows Parker playing tight end with one of his first receptions of the year. Way to go Parker!






Of course we can't talk football without mentioning OSU football. We love fall because it begins tailgating and Cowboy football!








And finally we ended our year with a December trip to Breckenridge, Colorado for a ski trip. Stacey and my nephews went too. This was the boys first time to ski and they both agree it's their favorite place we have gone so far.
As I look back at 2009 it makes me look forward to all the possibilities for 2010. I am truly blessed to have such a great friend that I call my husband and two wonderful boys. 2010 will be great whatever we do and where ever we go!

More Breckenridge
















SKI BRECKENRIDGE


WE WENT TO BRECKENRIDGE FOR A LONG WEEKEND. MY SISTER AND NEPHEWS WENT ALONG AND WE HAD A FABULOUS TIME! BRECKENRIDGE IS A QUAINT, BEAUTIFUL, DECORATED, LIGHT FILLED TOWN. IT IS DEFFINATELY A PLACE WE PLAN TO VISIT AGAIN REAL SOON! THE BOYS LOVED TO SKI AND EVEN MASTERED THE GREENS AND MADE IT TO THE BLUES THE SECOND DAY. THE DOWNTOWN WAS MADE UP OF UNIQUE AND CUTE LITTLE SHOPS PERFECT FOR HOLIDAY SHOPPING. OUR NEWEST BABY, RANGER, STAYED WITH A FRIEND WHILE WE WERE GONE. SHE'S TOO SMART FOR HER OWN GOOD AND DECIDED TO OPEN THE GATE AND RUN OFF TO PLAY MOST OF THE NIGHT. WE WERE WORRIED SICK BUT TO OUR GOOD FORTUNE SHE CAME HOME ABOUT 5:30AM. I MADE A QUICK TRIP TO GET HER THIS MORNING, LISTENED TO HER WHINE ALL THE WAY HOME UNTIL SHE RAN TO THE BEDROOM TO FIND HER DADDY! BOY WAS SHE HAPPY TO SEE HIM AS HE WAS TO SEE HER. NOTICE THEM BOTH SMILING IN THE PICTURE ABOVE. MORE PICTURES OF THE BOYS SKIING COMING SOON!
