Done With Middle School For Now!

I'm so happy to say that Mateo graduated 8th grade and will be a freshman (scary) up at the high school with Kenny next year. I can't believe I'll have two in high school! There were over "400" kids in his 8th grade class. I couldn't believe it. The area has grown tremendously! My high school graduating class was under 200, so many years ago.


Some of the family was able to come out and see the ceremony. It was a LONG ceremony. During the ceremony, I reminded everyone that in two years we will be back here. Kenny will be graduating high school.

I'm very proud of Mateo for working so hard (most of the time). I know that he is more than happy to be done.

He participated in the marching band/drumline this year. I'm sad to say I didn't get any photos of it. He decided that marching band isn't his thing. He did enjoy drumline though. Next year he decided to take piano. I can't believe they have a piano class, that's amazing! He's been self teaching himself. So I know he will enjoy the class.
Well on to new adventures next year!

June Happenings

Well before June is over I better get something in writing. :)
The boys finished off their baseball season. It sure was nice having them on the same team!
Here's Kenny up to bat and Mateo on base.


Kenny pitching.





Ken helped coach the team. The kids really learned a lot from him.

They had a rough season but in the end they were really playing like a team. You could also see a huge growth in the players. I'm so proud of my boys for not getting caught up in the winning and just enjoying the game! People always think it's weird that they're always smiling even after they struck out, but I don't. They're just happy to be playing!

Memorial Weekend Continued

Here's the rest of the weekend. Monday morning we got a few friends and family together to play some ball. It just might become a yearly tradition. Now you would probably think we get competitive but it's all for FUN!
Enjoy the pics!
