The Cardinals!

Sam had a great time playing T-ball. He loved to get his game on...getting in his uniform was a highlight of his week. He did so good, tried so hard, and ran so fast!! He could even hit the ball out of the infield. We are so proud of him.

Baseball

Here are some more great baseball pictures of Sam...

Happy Birthday

Sydnie's Birthday was on Memorial Day Weekend so we celebrated her birthday plus had a BBQ with Steve's family. All of the grandchildren slept over at Grandma's house after too.

Surprise!!!

It's a Surprise Birthday Party for Sydnie...Sydnie is turning 13 (an official teenager) and Savanah and I thought that it would be fun to throw a surprise party for Sydnie. Savanah did all of the inviting and she decorated the house while Steve and I took Syd out for dinner. She did not expect a thing...When we got home, we pulled into the garage and Sydnie went walking into the house and wow, everyone was there and Sydnie was surprised. They all went out back, had a fire pit, played volleyball and ate pizza. I think that it was a fun night for her, I sure hope so. Happy Birthday Sydnie!

Cheer Initiations...

Shhhhh...the old cheerleaders came to kidnap Sydnie at about 5:00 in the morning. They dress her in a T-shirt that they made and then blindfold her and take her away. They all meet at a restaurant to enjoy breakfast. They all go to school after with no make-up and their hair all messed up.

"Cheers to you" Night

This is a night to say goodbye to the old cheerleaders and to welcome the new cheerleaders. Lyndsie is saying goodbye forever to Syracuse Jr. High and Sydnie is being welcomed. It is a sad night for the old cheerleaders and they have a hard time. It is also a night for looking back and remembering the great year that they have had as a cheer squad. Every year, a parent is in charge of taking pictures throughout the year and then putting it into a DVD and then they watch it on this night. Ally was their coach and Lyndsie loved her so much, she did such a awesome job this year.

Getting Ready for Initiations

All of the ninth grade cheerleaders met at our house to prepare for initiations. They painted the t-shirts for each new cheerleader and ate some pizza. Lyndsie, Katie, Kiana, Heidi, Melissa, Karley, Jayden, Kirstin, and Kelsie...

Sam loved playing baseball. His favorite part was getting his game on. This was the highlight of every game. He did so good too...he worked hard to hit the ball, run really fast, and catch the ball too. Way to go Sam!

Soccer, Soccer, Soccer!!!

Soccer for Brinley has become a passion. She loves it and she is so good at it. She plays for LaRoca and Lyman is her coach. There are the sweetest girls on the team with her, which makes playing the game even that much more fun. She plays forward or mid most of the time, but also, Lyman will put her in as defense. It seems where ever she is, she works hard in that position. Great Job Brin...keep up the good work.

Goal...great kick!
