Morgan's Pony Ride At The Apple Orchards

Morgan loves animals,especially ponies,and horses. She keeps asking Mark for a pony and a chickens. Yeah right,but she can go ride them and pet them as much as she wants to as long as they are not at our house! Here she is at the apple orchards riding a pony. 5 bucks for a 10 minute pony ride,her facial expressions and how happy it made her:PRICELESS!

End of season Fall T-ball party

My little man at "Scoops". Pretty cool table made out of all gum balls. Hanging out in the party room,having ice cream with his team mates. Coach Craig's treat.


We couldn't leave little sister out,she had to celebrate right along with us.

Out of order,here he is all smiles with his trophy.

Out of order-Here is Andrew getting his trophy. Although we were not any where close to being the Hebron T-ball Champions like Spring ball,he did have a blast playing fall ball. Now time to take a break from t-ball until the spring and on to gymnastics with Morgan,little sister's turn! She has been waiting patiently. Good Job Andrew,glad you had a great time this year playing t-ball,we are so proud of you,you have come a long way! You hit an awesome double,made some good plays,and you are such a good sport! Spring ball will be here before we know it!
