Aaron Graduates!!!

My youngest brother, Aaron, graduated from West High School this past weekend. I can't believe he is out of high school. It sure goes fast. . .

A "Pig" Success

Another Pig Roast goes down in the books!! We were a little worried that morning with the rain, but the skies cleared and we had great weather.




We enjoyed the music! The band was great!!

How Time Flies. . .

Tonight was senior night at Legion Field. The baseball team recognized our seniors, Matt Laughery and Jeffery Smith. It is such a bitter sweet time! I watched as these two mothers fought back the tears while their boys played their last high school baseball game. It makes you stop and think how fast the time has gone and how fast my time approaches. Before I know it, my son will be playing his last home game. It is so important to enjoy the time you have with these kids. Even on the days when they are driving you nuts!!

11th Annual Pig Roast

IT'S TIME FOR OUR ANNUAL PIG ROAST

We will be eating at 5:00pm on May 3.

We hope you can join us!!

It is hard to belive that what started out as a joke 11 years ago has become an annual event.

Home Run Derby

Paul's team played in a tournament in Alcoa two weeks ago. During the course of the tournament, they held a home run derby, base running and long throw competitions. Paul won the homerun derby with 6 out of 10.

Remember Hannah

Please continue to remember Hannah Lawson. She is doing well considering what she is going through. Here is an update from her website:

"Dr. Scaperoth thinks she's doing very well and she's now on the downhill slide! Only about 11 or 12 treatments left. We're still watching for headaches and nausea (signs that her brain is swelling and she needs steriods to control the swelling). She's complaining a little more often about headaches, so we'll have to discuss with the doctor today. "

She is such a strong little girl. . . we should all learn from her! Check out her site on www.caringbridge.org/visit/hannahlawson.

A Busy Season

We have been very busy. The boys are in baseball overdrive now. Timothy's season is now about half over.. The high school is now 4-8. Hopefully the season will end with more wins. Timothy has pitched a couple of games and has done pretty well. He also closed a game. So far they have traveled to Loudon, Rockwood, Catholic, Anderson County, Stone Memorial and Union City (west TN).

Paul is also playing ball. He is on a travel team. We play weekends with him. The weather has been very tempermental! We have had a lot of rain on the weekends, just in time for the tournament to start. We have been able to play twice now. We hope to play this coming weekend. Right now the extended forecast looks as if it may delay another tournament. Our first tournament was in Athens. The tornadoes won the tournament. We played last weekend in Athens with a revised schedule. We played 2 games on Sunday. We were 1-1 we drew a bye after the first game so we ended up playing the same team 2 times.
