For those of you who are wondering what in the world this photo is all about, here we go. When Chance was a baby, I heard of a family who takes photos of their son on their birthdays wearing one of his dad's shirt. They used the same shirt every year till the child was 18. So I started this on Chance's 1st birthday. This is photo #5. It is really cool to see all five lined up to see how much he has already grown. So that is the story. I wanted to post this, so those of you who have seen the other photos could see this one!
Chance had his first t-ball game tonight. Here he is getting ready to bat!
Here he just hit the ball. Run Chance Run!!!!!!
Adam helped out tonight. He was the first base coach that told the kids to stop at first, then to run after the next batter had hit. Avery of course wanted to be on the field with her daddy and cried the whole time he was out there!
Here he is feilding the ball. Lets just say he was a little of a ball hog! The coaches had to draw a box around him in the sand to make him not field every ball! Of course the very next batter, after they did that hit it square to him!! So he got the ball anyway!Here he is again getting the ball.This is a photo of everyone taking their places. Notice Chance has chosen a prime place to stand! No wonder he feilded 85% of all the hits!HAHAHA
This past weekend we went to Ohio to help my brother and his wife, dry-wall their basement at their new house! We LOVE their new house! I think they willhave years of great memories there! We can't wait to see it when it is all done. After working on saturday, mom brought out a feast for all of us. We had steak, potato salad, brownies, and zuchini (sp?) bread! Joleen had chips and wine! I think we all ate way too much. Of course the staeks mom bought were HUGE!!! Of course that stoped NO ONE for not eating the whole thing! HAHAHA.
Chance looked too cute in his sun glasses and big boy shorts! Check him out! Joleen has one of the huge steaks on her plate! Thanks for the meal mom and thanks for letting us all hang out at your new house Brad and Jo!!!!!





Odds and ends

My college room mate Jen-Jen was so nice and brought her baby girl, Isabel to my mom and dad's house last weekend so we could all meet her! Isabel is SO cute!
Chance LOVED holding her. He would have held her the whole time if I would have let!
Avery was SO excited to ge tto hold a baby! She wanted us to take her home with us! For some reason, Jen-Jen said no =)

Here is Jen-Jen with Isabel! Jen-Jen, you are doing a super job, and you are a great mommy!!! Your daughter is too cute, and SO pretty!!! Thanks for sharing her with us!!!!

Trampoline!!!!!!

Here is a family photo we took this weekend. My parents came to town for a visit and to help us put up the trampoline. It has been a realy LONG time since we've all had a photo together, so we took this chance a snapped a few. This one turned out pretty good, so I decided to post it. For all of you who know me, I HATE to have my photo taken, so this is pretty rare.
I just HAD to post these! I had gone out for a walk and wore this headband to keep my ears warm, and when I got home Avery just couldn't resist putting it on herself!
As you can see, she did a lovely job! The hair is just beautiful! I just hope my hair didn't look that pretty when I was walking around the whole town! HAHAHAHA!!

Here are the kids with the new trampoline!!!
Chance got to be the first one to test it out. Grumpa and Gramma bought the trampoline for the kid's birthday presents this year. Since Chance's comes first, it was bought for his birthday, which ment he got to test it out first.
There he is jumping high!
Here is a knee drop!
Since Avery weighs about two ounces, I had to get on with her to even make it bounce! She just likes to run around in circles. Then she falls downand laughs!


Here are the kids with their chocolate bunnies!!! Avery's is about the same size as she is!
They went right for the ears!! The eyes went next!!!
