Together we have it all!

The kids are off school this week for winter break. The weather has been spectacular and we enjoyed a hike to Hidden Falls with the Greenwoods. It was nice to get out and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air.

moving on . . .

Tanner has wrapped up his wrestling season for 2010. He did very well, placing 5th in league and will earn his varsity letter. He has already moved on to golf, hoping to make the varsity team. He is looking forward to a more "relaxing" sport for the spring. Here are a couple of photos from his last league match of the season. (Click on the links to view)

I have lost track of the days, but haven't lost my desire to continue to post pictures of us this year.

We have a new pianist in the house. Zach started lessons about a month ago and he is loving it. His teacher says that he is natural and loves to have him.

a little bit about us

Tanner (17) is a Junior at Whitney High School. He is starting on the Varsity Football Team as a Strong Safety this fall and leads the team with his defensive stats. He enjoys training for triathalons, wrestling, golf, and hanging out with his friends. He is a great student and does very well in school.

Taylor (17) is an up and coming actor. He made his High School debut as “Lumiere” in a production of “Beauty and the Beast”. He was one of two freshman cast in the play and was the star of the show in his lead role. He most recently performed in a production of The Wedding Singer. He is currently rehearsing for a production of "Savior of the World" that will be on stage in November 2010. He is a great student and excels academically.

Riley (13) is a great baseball player, soccer player, flag football player, and wrestler. He is playing his first season of Tackle Football. Great things come in small packages and if given a chance to watch Riley compete you will know what I mean. He is tough, resilient and doesn’t let even the tallest and biggest opponent scare him away. He has sent quite a few to the sidelines surprised by his tenacity.

Zach (10) loves to play baseball and soccer. He has found a new love of reading and we can’t seem to keep his book collection up to date. He recently began taking piano lessons and has found a love for music. When he is not playing the piano you might find him playing video games, playing with friends or watching Mythbusters. He is such a joy in our life.

Chris is coaching baseball and working hard. He recently went back to school to study Healthcare Administration. His true love is watching his children play baseball, football, soccer, wrestle and perform.

Katie is enjoying the little things in life that bring happiness. Always on the lookout for a new project or something to create. She enjoys updating our family blog, photography and trying to keep up with the boys and all their activities and adventures.
