Play Ball!

The boys have begun spring little league. Craig II plays for the Owls (a rookie team for the Angels) in the juniors division, and Blake plays for the San Diego Padres in the minors division. It is fun to watch them do what they like to do :) We have games through June, so the fun has begun. Here are their pictures for this season...

Happy Birthday!

Craig II is 14 years old today! Where does the time go? He is so special to us. He is taller than his Mom (close to being taller than his Dad) and is an amazing big brother. He is a driven athlete, a dedicated student, a budding comedian, has great friends, and has a servants heart. He is a child of God who strives to follow Him daily. We love this young man like there is no tomorrow and are so blessed to have him in our lives. Happy birthday Craig!

The Day Has Arrived

Blake has been waiting for this day for the entire school year. All the 4th grade classes at his school are on their way to the Grand Canyon. It is a big field trip; they left at 6am and will get home around midnight. The kids have school work packets that they do while on the drive; they also stop off at Montezuma's Castle (Indian ruins) for a brief time on the way up to the canyon. They will hike a 3 mile part of the canyon, then stop at NAU (Northen Arizona University) for dinner on the way home. Craig went as a chaperon (He went with Craig's class four years ago as well) and Blake is very happy about that! I can't wait to hear all about their adventure!
