Woohoo! 2nd place - Cal Ripken in-house tournament..

It was an exciting, action packed game and the Braves did a great job! Final score - Orioles 11; Braves 10.

'lil Miss Sunshine is enjoying this weather, too!

latest addition...

Chase's goat doesn't have a name yet but we picked her up tonight after his game. She was born on December 10th and is a Savannah/Boer mix. Her and Poundcake are getting to know each other; should be interesting!

Tomorrow morning is weigh-in so they will be really close during transit :-)

Too cute!!

Crockett's farm has been 're-stocked'! Poundcake was picked up tonight and he is just too cute - very loveable and friendly with Cierra. He is even very patient with Java :-)

By the end of the weekend we should have a full house; two lambs and one goat - woo hoo! Let the games begin...

Did you "Take Your Child To Work" today?

I have been very fortunate over the past several years to work for a company that honors national Take Your Child To Work Day. Each of my four children have been able to experience my typical work day at least once. There have been many changes throughout the years so in most cases each visit has either been in a different building or completely different site. They have met many people over the past years which I know will help make a difference in their future. I enjoy spending the day with them and it makes the commute a lot more fun!!

Harpers Ferry field trip -

I have never been a fan of field trips (the joke is I 'don't play well with others which isn't true :-) but Ronnie is always a trooper and goes just about every time - love 'ya Ronnie!!

Today's outing was not your typical field trip....Cierra along with 60 other classmates were selected for this outing as a reward for their academic accomplishments as well as attendance and behavior. Good job Cierra!

Harpers Ferry has so much history and it's another one of those towns that is so close yet we just don't go there. The class and chaperones hiked several trails, actually got to walk across the train bridge and visited numerous buildings. The weather also cooperated - sunny and 60!!

Changes....

Kayden will be three months tomorrow, it's hard to believe! She is changing so much; she coos more, sleeps longer at night, smiles alot, eats more but a bigger change is happening tomorrow. Kayden will go to her new daycare provider. Today was Aunt Brittany's last day as 'babysitter'. She will make a new friend tomorrow and be fine.

Good luck baby Kayden, we love you!

Minnie Mouse, is that you?

Ronnie has always enojoyed entertaining our children with puppets so....Poppy just had to get Kayden a Minnie Mouse puppet. She stayed with us last night but today was the first chance he had to play with her. She wasn't quite sure what to make of Minnie but we did get some smiles!! I'm sure Mommy and Daddy are glad Minnie is staying here :-)

Braves off to a good start...

Yesterday was opening day for Summit Point. We were not at the actual ceremony since we were travelling home however we did make it back just in time for the 4:00 game. The team did great! They played the Twins and won, 11 to 3. Chase did a nice job catching but still needs to work on his batting. He got a new bat (came while we were gone) so now they just need to work together :-). Grandma & Butch, Donna & John, Britt, Ash, Kayden & Cierra were all there. It was a beautiful afternoon.

Scarey or lots of fun?!

So....Chase said the Hollywood Tower Hotel wasn't bad at all; what do you think?
