Instructional League Baseball

As soon as soccer was over, baseball started.

After getting hit really hard in the leg while catching and then getting hit in the arm while batting, Michael's decided baseball's much too painful of a sport for him.

If you could only see the look of terror on his face while batting.

Michael's favorite part of baseball:)

Michael's New Bike

Michael has a new bike!! It was quite an experience trying to choose the perfect bike and the perfect color.

I NEVER EVER had a new bike until I was in my 20's!!!

Grandma Lorraine's New Driveway

When Grandma and Aunt Lynette came home from Texas they found a surprise for them in their new driveway!! Glad they weren't mad!! I wanted to take Lynette's dog, Izzie, to put in her paw prints but I wasn't sure if I'd be able to keep her off of it!! I don't think mom would have been happy with Izzie prints completely across the new cement!

Spring Soccer 2008

Michael played for "Kramer's Kitchen" again this Spring. Tony was one of the coaches. Though Michael wanted to retire from soccer after last Fall, we convinced him to play again. Time will only tell if he plays this coming fall.

Michael is 7!

Michael turned 7 on New Year's Eve.

For the past
few years we have
celebrated his half birthday in July to help break up the year for him. He loves to have swim parties and be outside for his party. This year Aunt Lynette and I took Michael and his friend, Jayden, to Chuck E. Cheese on New Year's Day for his real birthday.
