Champions!!!



Mike is another champion at the ball park!!!  He played for the Titans this year and really loves these guys!  They had a great year and going 'all the way' made it an even better year!!!  :)

Mike's been playing ball for many, many years now.  He is in his upper thirties and still plays outfield!  Left field at that!  Where there is always action and hard balls hit.  There are many times when he dives to catch a ball.  Jumps against the fence to make yet another hard, good catch!  With a lot of the games being played with only three outfielders (then they play with five infielders), that makes it even more ground for him to cover out there!  I still love to watch him play!!!  He's good!  He still hits the ball hard and often hits homeruns!!!  The ball park is the place where we spent many nights together while we were dating, engaged, young married and now after being married for over 14 years, we still gather there!!!  :)

Mike was ready for the season to come to a close though.  He has been having some pain in his upper leg and groin.  We are hoping to have complete healing with the season now over!

Nate getting the team trophie!!!


We met Mommy D. many of nights at the ballpark!!!  She held Austin a few times too!  I love my grandma!!!

Proud of their season!!!  Good job guys!!!  Matthew seemed part of the team this year too because he went along to ALL the practices and games!!!

Meet the TITANS OF 2015!!!

Even though we don't live by our garden anymore, we need to stop and check to see what's growing every now and then.  We found this huge zucchini the other day!!!  Ashlyn is our little gardener and absolutely loves to pick the foods!!!  She loves to plant the seeds, watches it grow, pulls the weeds and eats the harvest!  She will push all meat aside to have veggies!!!  She was so excited the other night!  She took Mike into the garden and said, "Daddy, do you smell these tomatoes?"  Exciting for her!!!  We can't wait to make her own small garden next year!!   
 

We love basil and I picked a stem the other night to bring along home.  It's hard to use my herbs now that we are not living by the garden.  The tomatoes are waiting to be juiced.  The peppers ... well, if anyone wants any banana peppers or bell peppers help yourself!!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We went to Marlene's pool the other and enjoyed the water just as much as the fellowship!  Ashlyn and Colson always have a blast together!!!

Thanks girls for playing with Matthew and Hadassah in the chilly water!!!  :)
 
Summer is winding down and we are not ready to see it go just yet!!!  We've got more memories to make for this summer and look forward to them coming up!!!
