Middle School Field Day

You can always tell when the school year is winding down. Less time spent in the classroom and more time spent outside! One big event in Middle School is the annual field day, where each grade's classes compete against each other in challenging events such as the rubber chicken relay, the egg toss, the tug of war, and a grueling obstacle course just to name a few! This year, no surprise to Clint, his team, the Pied Pipers (since his home room teacher is Mrs. Piper!) took the top first place all around championship! Way to go Clint! (P.S. Snuck in a picture of this years girlfriend! Don't tell him I told you!)

Things I love about Spring...

Getting my car washed...
My dogs Bogie and Birdie...
and flowers that come back even prettier than before!

Baseball, Baseball and more Baseball!

Ok, somebody forgot to tell me how many games baseball players have each week! And add to that both Garrett and Grant are on two separate teams, and I'm thinking about pitching a tent beside the baseball field! But we are having so much fun. So much fun, in fact, that I have made a blog just for Grant's baseball team! (Garrett has decided he wants to wait for "real" football next year for his team blog.) So check out DL Colts Baseball. Just click on the link in the right hand column under "Bloggity-Blog" and it will take you right to it. Clint is away in Washington, D.C. this week on his class trip, so hopefully he is taking tons of pictures I will be able to add. What are the chances of that?! And Carter and Scott have been away the past three weekends to AAU basketball tournaments. This coming weekend they are on their way to Knoxville. Unfortunately, Scott Sanderson is not walking around with a camera swinging from his neck, so we have no pictures from those adventures either! So for now, we will make due with more baseball. Grant's team is now wearing their official purple jerseys, so that does add some variety. Take me out to the ballgame!

My greatest blessings call me Mom!

Since I am usually the one behind the camera, you probably won't see many pictures of me. Some of you may be thinking that's a good thing! But since Carter took this one of me and Garrett at Easter I thought I would post it. May be the only time I make the blog! Several things I have discovered about blogging...Good things: I now have a spot to put all the pictures I take, and I don't have to worry about mailing any! (You all know how good I am about mailing things to you!) Bad things: Now I feel like I have to keep it updated all the time, and Clint has started calling me the "papparatzi"! Hard to get him in a picture since he's always hiding from me! Another bad thing...makes me want to plan trips so we will have something to post! Since the blogs debut, I have added several new posts. I found the cutest pictures of a fishing trip I took Garrett and Grant on with my nephews Everett and Ethan. It was a little over a year ago, but they were so cute I couldn't resist adding them. So, if you are visiting again and the site appears the same, scroll down and browse awhile. You may find something new!

The REAL big one got away!

Happy Easter from Garrett and Grant

To our family and friends...The real secret of happiness is not what you give or what you receive; it's what you share. Thanks for letting us share our lives with you and for sharing your lives with us! Happy Easter.

Let's Play Ball!
