On June 29th Nick turned 13 and I am officially a mother of 2 teenagers!!Ugh!~! We celebrated his birthday by going to a St Louis Cardinal game. The guys are currently on a trip to Cooperstown to see the Baseball Hall of Fame. Tanner will be going to see Charlie in Maryland following the NY trip and they will be taking him to London!!! Mike, Nick, and I will be going to Florida Aug 1-8. School will be starting soon and Tanner will be starting football as soon as he gets back from London! Wow, where does the time go???

This is Curt and his beautiful baby girl Kaylynne Rayne--Yes that makes us grandparents!!!

Curt, Tanner, Nick, Heather, and Mike

I caught a big one on Father's Day!!!

Tanner was in the High School play "The Beauty and the Beast" He played the young prince.

Well is Springtime here or is it just teasing us???? We have had a very long winter but I think it might just be warming up for good. Tanner is well into the baseball season and although the team is not doing very well, Tanner as a Freshman is starting and playing the whole game for varsity! He started the season playing only the last couple of innings but now he is playing the whole game on 3rd base. He also pitches for JV.

Nick hasn't started but is planning on playing baseball in Jacksonville this summer at the Pony-Colt park. He is excited about that.

I havn't had alot of time this winter to put alot on here. It's been a very long and busy winter. I will be glad when basketball is over and we can get on with springtime and baseball!!! Not too much has been going on with us this winter. Mike and I have been very busy at work and although we don't like it, we are very glad that we have "secure" jobs!!! With me working in the ER and he is a manager at Walmart, I don't think we will be going anywhere!!! (I won't hold my breath though)

Mike will turn the big 4-0 on Feb 25!!! I was wanting to have a party but he wants to just get away, so that's what we are going to do.

It was nice to see Red Dog and so glad he will be staying in Franklin during this job he is on...yes we are finally getting a sewer system in Franklin!!!! Yeah!!! It will be good for him and Tanner to be close this summer and maybe Tanner can help him out. Thanks Red Dog for scooping our driveway the other day when it snowed so bad!!! We really appriciated it!!!

Nick is really going through a growth spirt!! He is almost as tall at me! He is being a really good boy and trying to make the transition to "teen-hood" LOL

Tanner is doing pretty good in school, he is always busy but always is where he is supposed to be and home on time.

So that pretty much does it for us.
Hope all is well with all of you....I will blog more later.

Tanner went to Homecoming last weekend with Kelsey Whalen. They are just friends but had a real good time.
