First Day of School 2011/2012

Rylee is 8th grade (last year before high school, can't believe it) and RJ in 2nd grade

Just a few teeth lost this summer...

Two teeth were lost in the lake while in Florida

RJ Goes to Larosse Camp

This past week RJ went to his first Lacrosse camp. Bobby was able to go on the first day and take some good shots. He enjoyed playing but didn't quite get used to all of the gear. It is a lot to wear for a little guy, but he sure looks tough in it.

Rylee's Wakeboarding Trip, First Installment, Summer 2011.

Rylee with Josh Palma, whom she had a lesson with on that Friday. Thanks to Uncle Randy, Aunt Carolyn and Robby.

Here is the score sheet from the first stop. Rylee in Fourth. Next time she is going to do better! She still had a fun time though.

R.J.'S First Catfish

RJ has finally met his fishing goal. All last summer he wanted to catch a catfish. Well he got his first one this past Saturday. It was quite a big fish, 20 1/2 " long and is now sitting in the freezer waiting to be fried up and eaten. I am so proud of him and he was quite proud of himself that day.

Look at the bend in that pole.

Please take the picture, already!

It was quite funny, he wouldn't hold it with his hands or kiss his first "catch", so putting it on a stringer and having him hold it was a close as we could do.
Hurry Up Dad!

Yep, it is still there. Just making sure.

The kids decided to name him "Tom the catfish", later on.

Here are all of the "group" watching from the deck as we cleaned the fish from that day.

2011 Field Gockey Season Kick-Off: Bubble Blast

Rylee's field hockey season kicked off with a fund-raising event called the Bubble Blast at Catholic High School. Her team was called the Rave and was divided into 2 teams, Rave Hello (Rylee's team) and Rave Good-bye.

Waiting for the next game

RJ was very patient and found ways to entertain himself throughout the tournament.

As usual, RJ got lots of attention from Rylee's friends. They are helping him find Waldo.
