Tristen's Science Project

Tristen is known for waiting until the last minute on many things, including science projects. Although this project started off very scary, Jason and I have to try to remember that we can't do the project FOR him. It is hard for both of us to remember that b/c we are both perfectionists. Anyways, this was a 5 week project w/a piece of the project due each week. The first part Tristen made a 70 on b/c he turned it in late. The other 4 pieces of the project he has made 100. The whole project came together when he had to put it on his display board.

Tristen's 11th B-day Party

Tristen's actual birthday isn't until Nov. 23rd. Due to his birthday being so close to Thanksgiving, we always have his party prior to his actual big day so his friends can attend. Here's a picture of Tristen w/his skateboard cupcake cake.


Tristen wanted a skateboard and Tech Decks - finger skateboards - (the new verison of what we knew as Hot Wheels). He got a skateboard, along w/the helmet and protective pads from us. He got TONS of Tech Decks, and parts for his skatepark.

Promotion

A post about me for a change. :) I'm getting a promotion. I don't have all of the details yet, including my new fancy title. I know the pay increase and the bonus package that goes with it, which is the most important part, right? Anyways, I'm really excited about it, even though my commute will be a little bit longer. I'm excited about the upcoming changes. Once I know more about the new title, I'll post some more details!

Baseball Pictures

Here is the last of the baseball pictures for awhile. I didn't get a picture of Tristen receiving his trophy b/c I was at a work function the night of his team party.

Here is a picture of the boys trick or treating. I swear they were the same thing 2 years ago. Next year, maybe they'll change it up some and be something different

Baseball season comes to an end...

Baseball season is finally coming to an end. Colby's team ended the season on Saturday. They lost but ended up 6-5 for the season. Colby's team plans on staying together for the Spring season. He will be participating in winter practice sessions. The team plans to play in a few pre-season tournaments in the Spring. His coach really wants to try Colby out at catcher. Colby has the arm and speed to play catcher and so I think we are going to be investing in some catcher gear for the boys. Tristen already plays catcher but the gear provided by the team fits him. Colby is a lot smaller, so we plan on buying some catcher equipment for Colby to try out and see if he likes catching. Here are some pics from this weekend.


Tristen's season ends on Tuesday. He has make up games on Monday and Tuesday from rainouts that happened a couple of weeks ago. Tristen had a terrific hit on Saturday and got to play catcher for 2 innings.

Jason's softball

Jason has been playing softball every Friday and Sunday. Friday nights he was playing on his work team, but their season has ended and will start back up in the spring. His Sunday league is a new league he started playing in. Here are some pics and a video of him from his Sunday games.
