Pray, click, repeat.......

Our good friend Johnny recently found he has colon cancer that has spread to his liver. He is only 43 years old. He is currently receiving chemo and will need to travel to the Mayo Clinic for surgery. Please stop by the blog his wife Pam started~ thefightingtoad.blogspot.com to read their journey. Send your prayers their way and click on the ads on their blog. They are going to use the money raised from the ads to help win their fight againist cancer. Once Johnny has kicked cancers butt the money will be donated for cancer research! So please stop by they love the support they have been receiving!!!

Pray, click, repeat:)

Cal Ripken Michigan State Champions

I am so proud of our all star team. They are the Michigan representative for the Cal Ripken Ohio Valley Regional!!

The little lady that is standing is my youngest, Ava. She has fun with her friends at the ball park. It's a good thing because we spend a LOT of time at the ball park:)

It's a family affair! My husband coaches. My daughter Kylie was the photographer so I don't have any pics of her.

We will be traveling to Lexington, Kentucky to play for regionals. Lots of fundraising between now and then! It will be a lot of fun and it will be our family vacation this summer. I am not looking forward to traveling in the car for 6 hours with three children~~wish me luck!

Something else we have been up to......................

picking oh so yummy strawberries! Kylie and cousin Brayden had a blast. They scored lots of yummy strawberries!

Another thing we have done a lot of........

Swimming;) Sometimes at friends, sometimes the beach. We are not fussy!
