Dad took on the task to install a fence so Sunny can run free in the yard.

I got this far and then throw my back out, but at Nicks baseball game, while assistant coaching.

So Mom help me finish the fence, and was carrying the 50 lbs. bags of concrete. I was still able to dig the holes. 

#1's

I quietly road for a Alzheimer's fundraiser this fall. I threw out my back coaching baseball and I learned that to perform my best I need to eat a snack around mile 15. I barely made it home because was shaking and lightheaded. Rookie mistake. 

11U Champs! The Yankee's were in 2nd place throughout the season.

It was awesome to be apart of it by coaching you guys!

Kevin's 1st place team came in 3rd in the playoffs. 

You made a dream catcher at cub scouts. 

I asked Kevin to please sharpen all of the broken lead pencils, there were about 20 in this cup. When I came back I saw this. You are going places! Work smarter, not harder.

Mom and Dad celebrated our 18th Anniversary. 

Game night was extra creative with Kevin wanting a shooting target. 

Carving Pumpkins

Dad took a trip to visit Uncle Drew and his family. 

I got his kids a stop rocket! Always fun. 

Happy Halloween!!!
