I have not written for quite a while, there has been so much going on. Tezz will be going in to the 7th grade and she is really excited about that, the "big junior high". The thing that she is excited about the most is the lockers and being able to go to school with friends that has that went to a different elementary school.

She made the All Star team in softball and practices 5 days a weeks for about 3 hours....she is exhausted by the time that she gets home. She has always played in field and I think that she will be playing some out field this summer (she has a arm that would knock your socks off). She is bummed that she won't be playing much 1st base which is what she played during the regular season. But has a great additute about learning positions that she has not played before.

Tyson and Kimmy are doing great, they have a cute condo that they will be buying in the next year or so. Kimmy is excited that Marley will be going to the same elementary school that she went to. Marley is just growing so fast (if I had more time I would update the pictures) too much going on today) she has this giggle that just makes you smile for hours. I found this picture of Tyson when he was her age and they look so much a like (going to give the picture to Marley's mom to put in album next to Marley's).

We have a puppy now, our cat Susan passed away and Tezz has wanted a puppy for years but Susan ruled the house and we could not get another pet while we had her. The puppy is a Shuh Tzu (minature) named Fizz. She is adorable, and very energetic. She has been a great asset to our family. She loves to follow Kip around the yard when he is working, she has the tinniest little legs that she almost has to hop....pretty funny site. She does love to run through the grass just before we mow since it is higher and she truly does look like a little bunny rabbit when she does that since she is so small she hops over the taller grass.

Kyle is doing great, he is working on his short stories to get his resume worked on so that he can get something published, I think that will happen here in the next few years. He calls himself the struggling writter. He has so many amazing ideas going on right now, told him the other day just focus on one at a time. He gets the story ideas from dreams and they are just there in his mind waiting to come out. I will have to post one of his latest. He has lost contact with the publisher that wanted to publish one of his books since he lost his phone and of course only had one contact phone # and it was on the phone, but, he did not want to publish a book yet, he wants to get his short stories together (really seperate) then eventually get them in one book. Good Luck Kyle!!!!! I knew since you were in elementary school you would be an author some day.

I love my job that I started in Dec. Wish I would have been here a long time ago! The only down side is that I am not able to take a lot of time off and I want to be able to go to Tezz All Star games so I missed the trip to Jackson Hole this year but Tezz and Kip had a blast. They probably loved it since I was not there to bug them about the "little things". Since our trip last year was 5 weeks we are ok to not have a big trip this year. We are planning our trip for next year though. I think it will be to Niagra, got to get Tezz to the 7 wonders of the world before she is 18. There are so many different 7 wonders of the world we have picked our own -- grabbing some from all the lists and going to the safer ones -- this would make 3. Leaning Tower of Piza in 2007, Great Barrier Reef in 2008. If we don't go to Niagra then we will miss a Wonder and go to Brazile -- we want to go down the Amazon and see the pink dolphines (I will have to see if this is a Wonder on a list). Our trips have been great for Tezz and knowing where the countries are and maybe help her in Geography classes.
