July 2020


Happy 4th of July!!





The girls went to the softball State Tournament and placed 2nd!  We think they could have won the Championship, but it got rained out so based on points, they were awarded 2nd.

The girls took on the local baseball team one night for a scrimmage!  They had a blast! and won! :)




I took a big group of kids to the top of Windy Ridge!  Fun times!





Mountain/cabin time is always good before the craziness of fair!




Jacob loves to fly kites!


Maya went to Bluegrass Camp again this year and took up the mandolin, in addition to the bass.


Playing the bass allows her to hide in the back!  :)


FAIR TIME!!

June 2020

Our "normalish" summer continues...

The girls were able to play softball.  The farthest we traveled was to play a small tournament in Cody.  My parents met us there and we were able to go to Yellowstone via the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway through the Beartooth Mountains.  It was amazing!  We also stopped in Jackson as well.  We saw a lot of wildlife including black and grizzly bears!

Maya has been practicing her bunt with good success!

Such a fun group of girls!









We had a couple visitors one day of week last summer.  They were always up for some adventures!








We decided to put in an inground trampoline for the kids.  Seth dug most of the hole for us and Joe finished it up!  It was the best idea ever - so fun!

Seth & Jacob digging the hole!
