AAH. . .Warm Summer Nights and Baseball

Well not exactly----it's been more like cold, rainy nights and baseball this year!! Seems like every game so far has found us wrapped in a blanket to keep warm with our umbrella handy but we are die hard fans and wouldn't miss a game because of bad weather !!
Derek is playing on the Padres again and has really improved on his pitching and hitting this year, in fact in one game he had 16 Strike-outs and last week he hit a home run.


Mo loves to come to the ball park and watch "Uncle Dies" play baseball, the only problem is he doesn't want to stay on the side lines, he wants to run out onto the field where Derek is.

Congratulations Derek!!

Last week was Derek's 6th Grade Graduation at Lakeview Elementary. At the program he received the Presidential Award for Educational Excellence, the National Physical Fitness Award, an Award for Fantastic Attendance ( He only missed 2 days of school ) and he is a graduate of the DARE program. Way to go Derek !!! He is excited to be moving on to Jr. High but his Dad is going to miss seeing him at school every day.
