Little League 2011 Comes to a Close

Today was closing day ceremonies for Valley De Oro Little League. I thank the good Lord that Christian and Lily had a fun and safe Little League season. They both improved so much over the season. Mommy and Daddy enjoyed watching the kids play and we are all a little sad that the season is over.

Christian played in the minor league division this year for the Indians. They had a great season and finished in 1st place. Christian played 3rd base and ourfield this year and is know for hitting the ball hard.

Lily played t-ball for the Phillies. She was fortunate to have some really great coaches. She learned to hit the ball off the tee and to hit the ball when her coached pitched it to her. She got to play all the positions, but the she enjoyed playing catcher the most.

Goodbye

Today is a sad day for me. My beautiful cat Amber passed away. She was 17 years old. I found Amber in a pet store many years ago before I was married, and I fell in love with her and brought her home. She brought a lot of joy to my life. I will miss her, she was a dear friend.

Universal Studios

We spent fun family weekend at Universal Studios. It is Alex's favorite theme park and we hadn't been there is years. We drove up on Saturday and stayed at the Sheraton right across from Universal Studios. We spent all day Sunday and most of Monday at Universal. The little kids had a great time and so did us big kids!

This is the Donkey from the Shrek movies. He talks talks to the crowd and makes jokes. Lily was totally enamored with him.

Christian thought the shark hanging in the Waterworld auditorium was very cool and wanted his picture taken with it. Alex and Lily decided to get in the picture too.

Alex loves classic horror movies and enjoyed posing for a picture with Dracula.
