Colin Got Published!!

i i thought i would just sit down and enjoy an interesting looking magazine that came in the mail yesterday--and lo and behold one article that caught my eye was written by...my son! what? yes! I CAN'T SWIM by colin gill.  Actually, it was really well written!  Good job colin! i learned quite a bit.  

Always remember to slow down in life; live, breathe, and learn; take a look around you whenever you have time and never forget everything and every person that has a place within your heart.“A moment lasts all of a second, but the memory lives on forever.”

This is one of my all time favorite pictures.  I am going to paint it one day for you jibby.  It captured one of those perfect moments in time.  I love it and I love and miss Ty.  Thanks for being such a beautiful person Tyler, for having lived such a beautiful life.  You are in our thoughts! happy birthday.

JUNE IS...BOATING!!!

STORM'S A COMIN'   this time it is ...VOLLEYBALL!!!  (same name, different team, hmm) They made it through the first round of playoffs. WAY TO GO girls!

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME

take me out to the ball game...to the best seats in the house (thanks, Gary!)

JOSH AND BRIAN HAD A GREAT TIME WATCHING KEN GRIFFEY, JR.  (STILL ROOTED FOR THE ROCKIES THOUGH).  THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT AFTER A BOUT OF RAIN WHICH DELAYED THE GAME FOR 40 MINUTES.  JOSH'S SMILE IS COMPROMISED DUE TO ALOT OF CRACKERJACK--HARD TO GET THAT OUT OF THE OL' BRACES, YA KNOW...

To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage.

STORM'S-A-COMIN'...

partly sunny with 100% chance

of STORM!!!! Amy's swim 

team (THE STORM) had their

first meet . She did really 

well. Even though the team 

lost, she got a few ribbons 

and most importantly had 

lots of FUN!!!

IT'S OFFICIAL, Josh broke his rib.  I can't mention how without destroying his cool factor but I will say that it involved his bed and a snake at the midnight hour...
