Fall Ball

This is Matt pitching. We are very pleased with our coach, he is willing to let the little guys in and get some experience. He is so cute, every time he has a strike, he punches his mitt!! Sorry it's so shakey. I have a hard time watching and videoing!

Playing in the Dirt

The boys made a tunnel in our dirt pile behind the shop. This is what they came in looking like!

Peaches

My friend, Steph and I canned peaches this year. We bought 6 boxes of peaches, which made 61 quarts! Yummy!!!

My fishing fools! This was in August, Five Mile pond by our campsite near Grangeville, ID. The road was dirt and very narrow!!! Just missed a rock truck going up!

Baseball, Spelling Bee

Well, we have been busy, busy, busy~
Baseball and more baseball. Justin is on a coach
pitch team, and Matt is on machine pitch minors.
Cliff was going to coach Justin's team, but they
talked him into coaching the Minor's. What a time
committment. Justin would be on that team also,
but he is too young. He is good enough, but can't.
Next year, maybe they will be on the same team,
unless Matt gets drafted to the Majors.


Justin is an awesome catcher!


Matt went straight from his game to the city Spelling Bee.
He was so good! He was very confident, and won 3rd place
for the 3rd grade!!! He didn't even study for it.

Look at that form!!

Such determination! He caught the ball.

Snow and Ice

This is on our side patio, the boys thought the icicles were so cool.

No school today, icy roads. The boys were supposed to have a Christmas program today, but it will be tomorrow, weather permitting.

The joy of childhood. Laying on top of ice covered snow.

Matt and Justin started wrestling last week. They are a part of a Milton Freewater wrestling club. They are going to a tournament next weekend.

Today is cloudy, we are going to get rain. Cliff and Matt are helping my brother Chris move into their new house. Justin and I need to shop for a birthday present for Cousin Tyler, who is having a party today. I have been busy, making too many committments to help with things. I am on the PTA, am helping with the fundraising and treasurer of the School Bond committee (we are trying to get a new school for our kids), and am helping coordinate a talent/oscar night for our church. I guess I don't have to figure out what I am going to do when the kids are at school! I am still trying to figure that one out, with Justin in school full day anymore. I will post photos soon, when I get my computer figured out! It will not backup my photos that I download. Lots of love. Shana

Rainbow

We were helping Grandma and Grandpa McKenzie move and it started to rain. We went out and found this beautiful rainbow. It was a full rainbow, I just couldn't get it in the whole photo.

My little monsters

The boys were playing around with their "fangs" and wanted to do a photo shoot.



Matt was so proud of his score in Wii baseball!!

We were on our way to our friends and these deer were out and about. I can't tell if there are 12 or 13 of them. Can anyone tell?

Justin's Christmas Program

Justin had his Christmas program Wednesday. They had no school, as we had snow delay, so only about 1/2 of the kids were there. Matt was in the gym just before the program practicing for his performance, which is Thursday. School is cancelled today, so the program is tomorrow (Friday), if we have school! After that is our Christmas break. Anyway, Matt's class sat down on the floor in front of the bleachers, and Justin was showing off for him. I asked Justin after what he was doing, and he said Matt was laughing at him, so he kept on showing off. Too funny!!. The videos are hilarious, I am thinking of sending one in to Funny Videos.

SNOW!!!

WOW!! We have a lot of snow. Today is a snow day, as of 3 pm we have about 9 inches of snow just today. The other day saw anywhere from 3-6 inches. Cliff's work has about a foot of new snow today. Here are some photos from the first snow, on Tuesday.
The temps have been in the single digets, cold, cold,cold. We aren't used to this. The boys kept going out, coming in to warm, going out again. Today they don't even want to be out in it. I was out in the snow this morning, and it was real nasty driving, I had more trouble seeing where the road was more than anything. My car drives awesome in this mess.

Halloween

This Halloween MR was a soccer player and JT was a baseball player. How easy was that! We had everything we needed and didn't have to buy a thing.
JT had a serpentine thru the hallways at school(doesn't he just look so excited!), while MR had a serpentine out on the playground. The class photo is of the boys in his classroom posing. The cousins are adorable together. Alright, now I kind of have the hang of this, I will post more frequently. I hope... :o)

Soccer

Ok, I'm finally here. Do I have to upload photos one at a time, or can I upload more than one? I am trying to add photos and then I hit preview. When I try to go back and edit my post, I lose it. Am I doing something wrong? I am uploading soccer photos, MR and JT loved to play.

I'm Finally Online!!

Hi everyone. I have finally set up my blog, so I will be posting soon.
