Katy Curve goes to Austin...

Day One
Saturday




We played the "Unleashed" from Fort Bend, TX. They are one of the top ranking team in Texas right now, and boy did they show us why they were #1.. they beat us 16-1 !!! Payton got to pitch some in the first game..





Game #2 .. we played the South Austin Aces.. they beat us too !! By this time of the day a NORTHERN had blown in and we were all so thankful to be off the fields and out of the 20+ mile and hour winds.. we really weren't sad !!

Second time up to bat, Payton gets hit with the pitch in the lower back.. (he had to walk that one off for several minutes) ... he took one for the team.. ended up scoring a run after that !! Go Payton....




Day Two
Sunday...

we ended up getting seeded against the 1st team from yesterday... but this time we had them worried.. they did beat us , but we held them 9-6... no where near yesterday's game.. we had two double plays, Payton caught a pop fly to center field for a 3rd out, several great line drives, and some amazing base stealing that had the other team confused .. today we were a different team. I can see us being a tough team to beat in a few months. This is a new team with several new players in the past few months.. so now they are getting to know one another and know how each other plays !! Go Curve !!

Here is Payon's "mom, I hate having my picture taken" look !!! but he sucked it up and smiled for me anyway...

60 years....

Skippers' Grandparents just celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary. They held a anniversary party at a country club in the Woodlands. It was beautiful. They invited about 200 of their friends and family to join in the celebration. They put together a slide show documenting their years together. I was moved to tears. They have traveled all over the world, had three children, 6 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren, and through all of this are still very much in love. I wasnt able to take alot of pictures once we were seated.. but I was able to get some of the kids.


Payton and Aubrie.. all dressed up.

Halloween 2008

We had a bunch of friends come and join us for Halloween. We had a Transformer(Dalton), Wonderwoman(Katie), Starwars kids(triplets), Hunter Pence (Payton), Craig Biggio (Travis), HBU Huskie Cheerleader (Camryn), and 3 Katy Tiger Cheerleaders (Aubrie, Jasmine, and Maddie). We had a great time. The kids stayed together (for the most part) and we toured the neighborhood in the quest for tons of candy. They suceeded !!
