Take me out to the Ball Game!

Jayce had another successful spring playing Baseball for the Diamondbacks!

Warming Up ... 

Get Ready ... 

 And whack that ball!!!!

 Woo Hoo we are on first base ...

 Gettin ready to steal home plate!!

 Dad is the official score keeper.

 We all know my dad's favorite saying "When one says yes, we all say yes" and there is no difference even if it isn't "your" kid playing baseball.  We love the family to come watch the games.

Updates!

So I have finally updated my blog.  I guess I had a wild hair tonight and decided it was time.  I hope you enjoy the pictures as there is about 2 pages worth of pictures and videos. 

Enjoy!

Happy Independence Day

We have started an annual tradition of going up to Flagstaff, Az every 4th of July.  Dad had wanted to go, so we made plans and we were all very excited to go.  Well that very year, dad passed away June 22nd.  We were debating wether we should still go or not, but decided we all needed a break and to get out of town.  The yearly trip has turned into a lot of fun for the whole family that we look forward to going to every year.

Family Picture Day, Decemer 2011

The Happy Engaged Couple

So I am a thousand years behind on blogging.  I know, I know, I know but something is better than nothing,  right!?!?!?!? 

Bret finally popped the ? and asked Marissa to marry him.  Boy I hope she knows what she is getting into.  Bret proposed at the Los Angeles Zoo in California while we were there on a Family trip.

The Happy Couple

Memories!

Over the last couple weeks, I have had the unfortunate opportunity to attend several funerals. I am always amazed at the love of my family and my extend family when a loved one passes on.

I was looking thru old photos and came across the video that Justin put together for my mom and dad's SURPRISE 30th wedding anniversary. I miss my dad every single day, but I treasure all of the great memories of my dad. Love ya!!!


Christmas Tree Lighting 2011

Justin's mom Aissa likes to take a trip to Prescott, Az every December for the Court House Lighting.  2011 was no exception.  Justin, myself, and his mom headed out for the weekend.  It was FREEZING cold and we were so not prepared.  Oh well, there is always next year to get it right :-)

 Me and Justin

Justin, Aissa & Hana

Say Cheese Aissa

 As if we weren't freezing already, we decided to head to the mall for some ICE CREAM!!!
