Ryan’s 1st Band Concert

Enjoy some pics of Ryan’s 1st band concert. What else was cool was he was told this evening he made 2nd chair out of 22 sax players. Good work!

I have to say I really enjoyed it and it brought back many good memories for me….

Rehearsal the day before:

 

Krystal’s 1st Soccer Tournament

On the weekend before Turkey Day we went to San Antonio with Krystal’s soccer team. The coach has nick named the team “Navy Seals” because the league created the color bracket Navy for this team since they are all new to select soccer. Navy is the lowest color bracket.

Much to all our surprise the girls made it to the playoffs by finishing in 3rd for the season and in this tournament went to the finals and came in 2nd. (see other post about Goal or no goal for the truth on if they were the 2nd place team or not :-) )

Jeanee did some great work on the photo from the tournament with the team and we printed it out and gave it to all the players. Good times!!!

Goal or no Goal?

Sorry but I am just a little perplexed on this one… You make the call, is this a goal? The ref thought no :-( But the ref is wrong so congrats to Krystal on her 1st soccer tourney goal…

Krystal’s Costume
She wore this diaper on her head the entire day for silly hair day :-)

 

Krystal’s 5th Grade Play

Today we enjoyed Krystal performing on-stage in a dress that Jeanee wore when she was 12. (30 years ago.. shh, I was not supposed to put that on here :-) )

The more incredible thing about the dress is that Jeanee’s mom made it for her.

The day Ryan was baptized….

What a special day today was. Today Ryan was baptized by his Grandpa Richard and became a Christian. The entire family was very proud and he was able to get baptized with his friends and family present.

Why are you mad at the lawn mower?

I found this on my hard drive and thought I would share. Hershey, our young black lab a couple summers ago had a serious problem with the lawn mower. She has since almost grown out of this habit :-)

Pulling Corn Stalks

Every summer for the last many years the family helps pull Grandpa’s corn stalks. This year we left a couple rows to shade the tomatoes. It does not look like a lot of work but it is a good workout for the entire family.

What happens when the trailer breaks

An hour from the house…. Luckily a Wal-Mart was near because my trailer spare was the wrong kind.
