Christmas Lights 2008

We love Christmas time. Of course it is a celebration of Christ coming into the world as man to provide a way for each of us. Isn't that what Christmas really is all about? We forget due to all of the "things" going on around us, but we should always remember.

Part of this celebration is the lights. Donna, Will and I enjoy riding and looking at all of the lights. It is fun and something that we make a point to do as a family. Just us riding through neighborhoods (and our park here in Fayette) looking at all the lights . Some families have the theme approach. Others, well they just stick them anywhere there is a spot.

Take time with your family and go for a ride. It is fun for kids of all ages (0-100).

Disney World 2008

Well, the Brown's went to DW. It was great! We took Will down on Thursday the 4th for his birthday. We flew out of B'ham that morning and arrived in time to have lunch with Tiger and Poo. Lunch was a b'day party for Will and he loved the characters.

The trip lasted through Monday with my mom and dad staying through Sunday morning. I think they enjoyed the time with Will. I know he sure enjoyed them.

As you can see from the above pics we visited everything we could in the 4 days were were there. Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. I think Animal Kingdom was my favorite. Cool animals!

If you asked Will he would tell you that Mater and Lightning were his favorite. We had to visit them a couple of times. He had to tell them bye before we left.

Overall, I would rate this vacation an A+. Very fun and nice to see my 5 year old enjoying himself so much. Truly a vacation for him, but mom/dad (and grams/pop) had a great time.

I have to go now. I'm still tired. Certainly not the same as laying on the beach and doing nothing.

Where is my suntan lotion?

The Streak is over! Roll Tide Roll !

Well, we broke the streak. Roll Tide!!! As I have told you before we spend our Saturdays at Bryant-Denny Stadium when the Tide is at home. That is what we did yesterday. Bama vs. Auburn.

AU has beaten us the past 6 years. Man that is tough, but we won yesterday in a rout 36-0. Donna, Will and I took my Pop with us. He had not been to a game in years. We thought it would fun for him to attend this game. What a game to attend. It was awesome!

My Pop is a UofA fan, but would rather watch the games on the tv. However, he seemed to have a great time cheering the Tide on. I really think he liked watching all of us UofA fanatics go crazy. People watching for him may have been the best thing for him.

We tried to show him the ropes. We let him get the feel of gameday on the Capstone. We walked through the Strip just so he could see some crazys. We even saw a few AU fans braving the Tide nation. It was fun!!!

36-0. It couldn't have been any better. My wife, little boy and my Pop. A good day for a Bama fan. It doesn't get much better than that when it comes to a Saturday.

Roll Tide and beat the Gators!

Happy Thanksgiving

Well another Thanksgiving come and gone. Should it be? Should we just stop once a year and really give thanks? No. Absolutely not. You knew that answer already.

Over the last few days the Brown's have spent time eating and laughing with our family. Good times watching the kids play, celebrating birthdays that fall during this time of year and laughing at old stories. Fun. Real fun.

However, do we pause and really spend time being thankful?

Let me tell you what we do. This morning each of us had to name out loud 2 things we were thankful for. You know what? It was easy. Easy, because we try daily to thank God for those things that we are most thankful for.

Ok, no sermon. I will save that for Sunday, but each day should be a time of thankfulness to God for the blessings we receive. Regardless of tough times, each of us is blessed to some degree. Just stop and reflect. I bet you are too.

My list (not all but some):

1. Jesus - one cannot experience life, real life without a relationship with him. Thank you for giving your life, so that I may have life. True life.

2. Donna - what a wife. 14 years and going strong. My best friend. My calming influence. Beautiful, sassy and fun to be with. I really can wait to see her each night when I come home from the office.

3. Will - My baby boy. Ok, he turns 5 in a few days, but still my baby boy. We prayed for over 7 years for a child. It is like God decided to bless us extra for waiting so long. He is everything plus that I could have ever imagined in a child. The excitement for life I see in his eyes about everything he does is contagious. You can't help but feel his energy when you are near him.

4. Family - This includes my mom/dad, brother/sister, in-laws, etc.... It is nice that we enjoy seeing each other and spending time together. We can all sit down and eat. Enjoy ourselves and look forward to the next time. A special thanks to mom and pop. What an example for me to try and live my life by.

5. Friends - I enjoyed a run this morning with a buddy. My foot hurt, but it was still fun. Nothing better than a cool air run with a buddy. All of our friends are great. Each of you bring different qualities to our life and we appreciate you. God has been good to put you in our lives.

6. Career - God blessed me 15 years ago when he opened a door at SF for me. Man what a blessing. Yes, I am a nerd. Each day is fun for me. I love being at the office. I love helping others.

7. USA - Man, can we live in a better place. Thanks to each of you that provided the freedoms we enjoy. A special prayer today to those away serving while we are at home. Sacrafice. Thank you.

Ok, just a few. I could go on, but I want. I do encourage you to sit down and just write a few down. I found that when I wrote them down there were many more than anticipated.

May God bless each one of you. Oh, I am thankful for you.

Roll Tide!

Roll Tide!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, we sat in the cold and misty rain last night to watch the Tide. Another victory moves us to 11-0 on the year. Auburn left in the regular season. Man, I hope we win.

Last nights game against Miss St was great. Will actually skipped and stayed at Gram's and Pop's with Chloe and Anna Jane. We took our youth pastor, Joe Cotton and his son, Logan. Logan had never been to a game. Much less a night game at Bryant Denny.

You take for granted the sights and sounds of a Bama game until someone that has never gone comes with you. He loved the experience! I think we make a Bama fan out of him.

Hey, it was cold. I can't remember being that cold in the last few seasons.

It was a good night. Another victory. Roll Tide!!! BEAT AUBURN!!!

Update on Will

Will continues to grow big. He got his first big boy haircut this week. Grams seems to think he looks alot like me. Probably so, but Will Brown is an original. He has the best little personality and loves to be around people.

School is going good for Will. He is learning alot in his pre-school and likes his teacher, Mrs. Smith. So far, Will says that he has not gotten in trouble. We find that hard to believe, but that is what he says. Now, he and Tom, his buddy both say that a little girl their class gets in time out a lot. Apparently, she doesn't mind all the time.

Well, I guess that is enough for now. I hope you like the picture of Will's new haircut. As you can see, he continues to grow and is still a very good looking young boy.

Will's pets

Well, it has been a few weeks since we last updated everyone on Will's new puppy. Buzz II or Little Buzz or Baby Buzz as he is know is doing well. Will really likes him alot. As you can tell from the photo below he looks like the original Buzz.

Little Buzz is growing everyday and loves to play with Will. He also has another buddy, Co Co. Co Co is Will's cat. They appear to be big buddys and sleep in the same bed every night. I think they snuggle to keep each other warm.

Pal still hangs around the house. He seems to be waiting on Buzz to get a little bigger, so they can play. Bean also still comes around and likes to fight with everyone. Buzz is a little small right now, but should be able to keep up with the big boys in a few more weeks.

It is funny to see Buzz eat. After he eats his little belly swells up real big. He can barely walk after he eats.

We all miss the original Buzz, but we love Little Buzz. Stop by and see us sometime and play with our puppy, Buzz.

Tide vs. Ole Miss Oct 2008

The Brown family had a great day on Saturday. We did our usual when the Tide is in town and that is to attend a football game. Another victory, but that was only part of the fun.

On this Saturday in October we had my buddy and fellow SF agent, John Acker and his son, Eli over. They are Ole Miss fans (according to John Eli shifts from Ole Miss to Miss St depending on who is better). We met them in Northport when they arrived from Columbus, Ms., where they live. From there we took them towards campus. The first stop was for a big pizza at Mellow Mushroom and then on to the stadium. Neither had been to Bryant Denny for a game, so it was exciting.

Once we got on campus we showed them around a little. After the game we showed them a little more. I think both enjoyed the RTR experience. Ole Miss' stadium sits 60ish thousand, so walking into BD stadium and 92000 fans was cool for them.

Will and Eli both were wearing their teams jersey's as you will be able to see in the photos.

Anyway, it was great day. John is a good friend and has been for several years. He is a good christian guy and I enjoyed the fact that him and his son got to be a part of something that our family enjoys doing so much.

Hey, it was even better that we won. RTR!!!! Sorry Ole Miss.

Will's first stitches!

Last night we had some friends come up from Tuscaloosa. They came through to go to the Fayette County Fair. After having a great time they came back to the house for just a few minutes. They have a 2 1/2 year old son named Mack. He and Will played good together.

Well, when they left it was past Will's bedtime. He was a little wired. In the process of playing while picking up toys he fell in the kitchen. You may have guessed it by now. He cut his chin.

Off to the ER here in Fayette we went for medical attention. 10:15p and we are going to the hospital.

Will did so good. They had to use 3 stitches to close the cut. Not too bad, but have you ever had a neddle stuck into a cut in your chin? Well, I can tell you that it didn't look too fun.

I'm telling you that Will is tough as nails. He screamed and cried with the needle, but didn't move. The doctor had told him not to move, so he didn't.

After the shot it was all down hill. Scarring will be minimal and it is up under the chin. 1 week and we can take the stitches out.

If you know Will you will know that he asked about 1,000,000 questions during the process.

He slept good and went to school today. I figure we may visit the ER again someday.

You know, sometimes we would be tempted to ask God why did it have to cut the chin? Why couldn't they use the glue to close the cut instead of stitches? Why Will?

Well folks, it could of been his eye. It could have been his mouth. The bottom of his chin is not so bad. God was watching over Will throughout the whole ordeal.

As for the stitches and why will? Well, if it had of been the easy way out then the doctors and nurses wouldn't seen what a big boy he was. They wouldn't have seen a family calling on our Lord to remove the pain during the worst moments and how soothed a little 4 1/2 year old would become.

You know, every moment can be used. Maybe someone in that ER needed Will to come in last night.

Buzz Lightyear 2

Well, we now have Buzz 2 roaming the Brown complex. Will is excited and I must say that the little dog is really cool. Donna and Will went to Tuscaloosa today and picked him up. Papa went with them.

Maybe we can teach this dog NOT to get under the tires. I can't afford to keep killing the animals.

If you ever have a chance to stop by the Brown's we would love for you to meet Buzz.

Buzz.....Gone, but not forgotten

This is the cross that Will and I made for Buzz. Yep, Buzz is gone, but not forgotten. On the way to supper tonight Buzz got under the Tahoe and lost the battle. What a night!

Buzz was the most loving dog. He had the greatest demeanor and loved my little boy. Will loved him too.

A little over a year ago we were told by a member of church that a little small stray winnie dog had come up to their home. I took Will over and we instantly fell in love with Buzz Lightyear. This was Buzz's official name given to him by Will. Will, Donna and I all loved that dog as did everyone in our neighborhood. Every dog in the neighborhood literally lived at our house playing with our little Buzz. I don't know what the dogs will do without Buzz. I don't know how we will act without that little dog.

We have already begun to look for another Winnie dog, but I am not sure we will ever replace that little dog. Being Will's first dog he will always have a special place in our memories, but life goes on.

As Will told me tonight when I was apologizing again for running over Buzz, "dad, it was Buzz's fault. He should have gotten out of the way."

Will was such a big boy. He wanted to help me dig the grave, said goodbye to Buzz and even wanted to put the first shovel of dirt on him. He wanted him to be "snugly." That's my Will.

Buzz, you were a good dog. Our Buzzard, as we called you all the time. The favorite dog among your dog neighbors and certainly the life of the party. We will miss you! You were a good dog.

You are gone, but not forgotten.

Like Father, Like Son

Well, I thought you would all like to see Will working his charm. Yep, like father, like son. This was church Sunday night. Will sitting with Mac and Holly Grace. Looks like Will had his attention on another friend that should be up on his pew.

Don't get too worked up. It didn't last long. If you know Will he didn't sit still long and was back with his #1 girl.........his mom in just a few moments.

Hey, he is only 4 (5 in December), so mom should be his #1.

President 2008

It is Presidential election time. Did you know? Well, if you ever turn on the tv you did. I am so sick of it. I mean sick!!!!!!!! This has been going on for so long. Do you realize how much money is spent on these elections? I understand the importance, but isn't there something wrong with spending $300 million to be elected to a $400,000 per year job?

We as a family have certain beliefs. We are Pro-Life, pro gun rights, anti-gov involvement and for lower taxes. Problem is will anyone do anything they say they'll do? Maybe, maybe not.

We will support the McCain-Palin ticket. He is a true patriot. Gov. Palin certainly gives him a new demension to his ticket. Doesn't she seem more like us (Alabama folk) than anyone else? Small town, loves to hunt and loves sports. Sounds like us doesn't it?

It is a critical time in our country and I like the fact that atleast the McCain-Palin openly profess their belief in Christ. Christ is our one hope !!!


As they say in parts of Alabama, "vote early, vote often."

Roll Tide Roll !!!!!!!!!

Bryant Denny Stadium 09/13/2008

Big Al!

Will Brown

We love football season at Alabama. Donna and I made the trip for the season opener in Atlanta vs. Clemson. Bama won and it was nice. We have made trips as far as Normon, OK to get a loss, so it was nice to come home a winner.

The home games following were fun. Of course we go as a family and enjoying visiting with friends and family at each game. So far this season has been great. I just hope we keep it up.

Above, you can see Will loves the blue cotton candy. Well, he loves the red also. In fact he eats most of the time. It is so expensive. Don't get me started. Soft drinks are $6 this year. That is a rip!!!!

I will do my best to keep you posted of pics as the season goes along.

RTR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summer Olympics 2008

Man, these olympics are messing me up. We have stayed up late every night and I am missing my sleep. First, we start watching the swimming along with everyone else in America. Donna got into it big time. Will liked it as well. We would sit and cheer on the USA. Did it not make you proud as America won medal after medal? USA, USA, USA!!!

Well. when the swimming finished I thought maybe we would get back to our routine. Nope. We moved right into gymnastics, track/field and vollyeball. Yes, I am partial to the ladies volleyball. Nice uniforms.

It has been fun. Hey, is just me or did you guys think the China gym team had a few 10 year olds? Seriously, are they that stupid to think no one would notice that the kids were missing their front teeth? Ok, maybe not that young, but no way were they 16.

I guess I must move on. Mens volleyball. 3rd set and we are going for gold. USA, USA, USA!!!

Kiwanis Fishing

I am member of several civic groups. One is the Kiwanis Club. We work to make life better for children. Our local clubs concentrates on our local kids needs. We have many events. In Sept we host a golf tournament that raises $15k for a local kids home. One other event we host this time of year is a back to school fish outing. We stock a city owned pond at the airport with catfish and invite children and their parents to come out. Food, drinks and fun are all FREE.

Will came by to check on dad. He didn't get there until around 10ish, so the sun had come up and it was hot. The fish had slowed biting by this time, but we still had fun. We didn't catch a single fish, but Will got to real a couple in on other folks lines. He has caught many fish before, so he wasn't too disappointed.

Nothing like having my boy out there with me. Just dad and son for a little while. It was awesome.

The Brown's at the B'ham Barons Game

Last Saturday night we went to the Barons baseball game. We enjoyed the Chattanooga Lookouts game when we were in Chattanooga a few months ago, so we decided to go see them play the Barons. My sister and her family, my brother and his family and my parents joined Donna, Will and I for the evening. It was great!

Our seats were 13 rows up behind the Lookouts dugout. Good seats thanks to brother-in-law, John. We were in the action.

Well, we had not hardly mentioned that we need to be heads up for foul balls when one came out way. It hit the dugout and a chair which shot it directly in our direction. Will was standing up in the aisle at the time beside me. My dad was in the seat in front of me. There was about 2 feet between Will and Pop. The ball came right for us. I reached in between them and snagged the foul. It was a soft line drive and was easy to catch. It made for a good moment. Will loved it! Of course, I jumped up trying to get the crowd to chear my snag. I don't think too many did, but to my little boy I was "the man."

I have said it before, but I love my limited free time. We spend that time together as a family and there nothing like it on this earth. I thank God for my wife and little boy. Hopefully, we are creating memories he will have forever.

I have a couple of pics below from the night. Pay attention to my baseball.

Fayette Rainbow

The other night after one of our passing thunderstorms this rainbow pops out. Donna, Will and I got a peak on the way home from Wal-Mart. Just another reminder about the power of the God we serve.

Pretty cool! Remember, God promised Noah with a rainbow that he would never again destroy the earth with water.

Gulf Shores - Summer 2008

Nascar Will!

Will just chillin!

Donna was the hottest thing on the beach. Especially for those that fall into the "mom" category.

We spent Wednesday afternoon through Sunday morning at the beach. It was a great time had by everyone. We had some friends at the same complex and Will enjoyed playing with their son on the beach. We did the racetrack and Waterville.

Will drove the go-carts and you should have seen him on the water slides. The kid has no fear!

Great time relaxing. Hard to go back to work today, but we had to get back into the groove. Monday's after a vacation are the worst!

Tree Climber

Tree Climber!

You guessed it! He is climbing trees. This is a magnolia in our front yard. Pleanty of limbs and easy for him to get up into with limited help from dad. Now, he doesn't do it unless we are with him. He is not that brave. However, it is only a matter of time. I just pray no broken bones.

Will is at a fun age. He and I have alot of fun goofing around when I get home in the evening. He is and will always probably be his mama's baby, but he likes hanging with dad. No, not just from trees.

If you have a good tree to climb just call us. We may just want to climb it if that is ok.

Scooby and Friends Skating Party

We went to a skating party on Saturday. It was Chloe's birthday and she had a Scooby Doo skating party. It was great!

Now, I will say that it was obvious that the 30 yr old parent crowd skated better than the youth and younger kids. Apparently they don't skate as much as we did when we were that age. It was a great workout and I felt it the next day.

Donna was a show out. Yes, she was the girl that could skate backwards. I on the other hand was more of the speed guy. You remember, a little out of control. However, I could go fast. Yes, I did take out a few kids. Hey, they should have moved out of the way.

Will started slow (only his 2nd time to skate), but by the time we left he had it down. We just need to take him more. He enjoys it and makes quite a show when falling.

It was a fun day and Scooby, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne and Velmas were great. The kids all loved them. Donna has already said that we are borrowing the costumes for Halloween.

Family Trip to Chattanooga, TN.

Will getting ready for horse & buggy ride in Chattanooga.

Chattanooga Choo Choo train at the hotel.

Will by the 88 car at Ruby Falls.

Will with his miners helmet at Ruby Falls.

Fireworks at Chattanooga Lookouts baseball game.

We had a great family trip this past weekend in Chattanooga. My mom, dad, brother with his family and sister with her family met Will, Donna and me. We visited all the great spots including Ruby Falls, Rock City and Lookout Mountain. We also caught a couple of minor league baseball games (chattanooga lookouts) while in town. We stayed at the Chattanooga Choo Choo hotel in the train cars. It was fun! We walked alot, but had a great family weekend.

Next year, Graceland. Yep, going to see where Elvis lived.

14 & Counting

Tuesday, June 17 was our (Donna and me) 14th wedding anniversary. Wow! It has gone by so fast. Seems like only yesterday was June 17, 1994, and we were getting married at CHBC.

You know what? I can say that I think we are closer today then when we walked the aisle. Better friends. Better partners in life.

I look forward to the next 14.

Tiger Woods - Poor Example for Young or Old

Did you see Tiger make his incredible win Monday? Yes, he pulled it out. Another major victory. Number 14. Just 4 behind Jack N. Will he get there? Probably. If his body holds out.

Well, I must admit that I was pulling for Rocco. Not that I know that much about Rocco. I do like the underdog, but it was mainly a pull against Tiger. If you were watching close then you got to see Tiger on more than one occassion use the Lord's name in vain. Yep, right there on national tv. In fact, when coverage went from ESPN to NBC we not only got to read his lips, but also got to hear the entire thing. Embarassing for NBC. More embarassing for Tiger. Well, unfortunately he didn't learn his lesson and only a few shots later did it again. This time NBC was able to "dump" the sound before we got to hear the whole thing.

Folks, I am not trying to be a stick in the mud. Yes, we have all said things that are not worth repeating. However, I can assure you that I have not (not that I have had the chance), nor would I use the Lord's name in vain on national tv. What a great example! Impressionable people of all ages (young and old love this guy) got a couple of good examples of terrible language. You know what? He probably doesn't care. Why should I? Well, as a Christian it offends me to hear the blatant use of the Lord's name like that on tv. Actually, not just on tv. Anywhere or anytime.

I understand that he is competitive. Many of us are. Doesn't mean that you have to use those words in that setting. Again, how many impressionable people made sure to watch the tournament on Monday because of this guy? Millions!!!!

Well, good job Tiger on the win. You truly are the best in the world. However, you lack some self-control that the commentators say you have. The self-control to get a good grip on your mouth and not just the club.

Hey Dad (who loves Tiger and watches his every tournament), what if your kid used that language on tv in front of millions? Would it make you proud? I hope not.

Go Rocco!

Cowboy Will!

We went to the rodeo here in Fayette Friday night. As you can see Will took to it pretty quick. No, I don't think we lost him to the "cowboy life", but he did enjoy taking a quick ride on a horse of a friend.

I am afraid that Donna like the cowboys. After one of the young gentlemen finished his ride on a bucking bronco she begin screaming, "good ride cowboy." It looks like that I am going to have to start wearing Wrangler jeans and a big belt buckle. It's getting dirty that kind of gets to me though. Maybe I could be in cowboy management. Yeah, I will dress the part, but just manage from the side. No threat of injury and my jeans stay clean.

I will keep you all posted on my new role. I may need to do a little research first. I wonder if the cowboys wear hair gel? I just don't think I could wear that hat all the time.

Oh well, we had a great time. Another good night out as a family here in Fayette, Al. Yes, it is a great place to live and raise a family.

Shooting in Fayette

We had a shooting in town today. Appears that a young man was killed. This was the first murder here in Fayette in a couple of years.

Who knows what happened? Will anyone ever know what really occurred? I have a feeling that only 2 people really know and one of them is dead.

Tragic! At what point do you/I decide that we will point a gun at another human and pull the trigger? At what point do you no longer care enough about life that you take another? What is your state of mind at that point?

I don't know. I have never and hope to never be at the point that I feel like my only option is to take another humans life. Do you stay and watch that person take their last breath? Do you see the other person as a human or just another animal? At that point is it just another level to a video game?

I don't know. I have never been to that point.

Say what you will, but our world has alot hearts that are full of hate. They hate themselves, which translates to hate for others. It is a cycle. How can I love and respect you if I can't love and respect me?

I don't know. I have never been to that point.

I guess in these times you go to the Holy scripture to see what it says. I keep thinking about when Jesus was asked what is the most important command. Jesus replied to love the Lord thy God with all your heart, soul and strength. Asked what followed he replied to love your neighbor as yourself.

So, we must begin to trust and love the Lord. This will enable us to love ourselves and others.

To quote the great Rodney King; "Can't we all just get along, get along?"

Caleb is CHAMPION!

My nephew Caleb's team won the 13-14 year old baseball championship last night. What a game! With the score seeming to indicate that a second game would be needed we were about to leave. We thought that we would get a bite to eat and get back to the park for the second game (Caleb's team has to be beat twice by the other team). Well, as I am walking away one of the Grasshopper teammates hit a homerun. Caleb's team is within 2 runs going into the final inning. Caleb would be leading off the bottom of the 6th (last inning). He had not been on the bases thus far. He came to the plate and battled like a champion and walked. It started the rally which would see the Grasshoppers make an incredible comeback and win by 1 run. Awesome! I was extremely proud of Caleb for battling at his atbat. Tough situation and he came through like a champion.
Congratulations to all of the Grasshoppers (big hit by Jess Cooper to win the thing)! You are #1.

Oh, I failed to mention that my brother, Tony was the head coach. Good job coaching(even if you did get the first potential tying run thrown out at home in the 6th). It all worked out and what a night for the Brown family. We were all there (mom/pop, sister Debra with her husband, John and daughter, Chloe and Tony's wife, Julie and daughter, Anna Jane) to celebrate the big win.

Good job Caleb and Tony. It was a awesome game (especially since you won) and all of the Grasshoppers can remember this night for days to come.

Saturday's Are The BEST!

Saturday's are the BEST! Today we spent a good portion of the day as a family just having a great time. Will, Donna and I love hanging out at the pool. It was hot and the water felt great today.

As you can tell by the photos, Will is a waterbug. He has accomplished swimming and is comfortable around the water. He really enjoys jumping off the divingboard and swimming to the side.

Most of the week he had friends over playing with him in the water. Yes, he had someone here today. Thats fine. If he is having a good time then I'm happy.

If you are in our area, please stop in and see us. Chances are this summer you will find us at the pool. Especially, if it is Saturday.

T-Ball Team Party

Khirey, Chloe, Will, Sean (Anthony in back not on team), Daniel, Brady and Korey.

We were missing Cody, Jalasia and Lucy. I wish they could have been there, but things came up.

We were able to pass out to each player their first trophy for sports along with the team and individual pictures we had taken. All of them had a great time at the Splash Pad.

We had a fantastic year! I really grew to appreciate each one of these children and their own special characteristics. You know, God makes each of us different and you don't fully appreciate that until you coach 4 year old t-ball.

I can't wait until next year!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lightning McQeen

If you know Will then you will know
that is his favorite movie. We have
every car made from this movie. I mean
every CAR!

T-ball Season Over

Well, tonight was our last game for 4 year old t-ball. Will had alot of fun and met alot of new friends. He enjoyed playing with all his new buddies. He learned alot about playing ball and enjoyed everyone that came out to watch him play. He just wished that his dogs, Buzz and Pal could have come to one of his games. Oh, he also wished CoCo the cat could have come.
We really had a good time as a family and look forward to playing next year.

As we said each game, 1-2-3 D-Backs!

In the post that follows this one you will find Will, Khirey and Korey Burris. These were two great kids that played on our team and I look forward to Will playing with them in the future and growing up together. Great family and two wonderful little boys that loved t-ball.

Wedding Day!

Will had the opportunity to be in a wedding this weekend. Thanks to Wes Harbin and his new bride, Traci for allowing Will to be a part of their special day.
For those of you a little nervous, Will did great! I think he likes the camera (he gets that from his mom).
May God bless Wes and Traci with many years of happiness.
