T-ball Champs

After finishing first in their division, Chase's Tball "Reds" go on to win the whole enchilada! Four (or was it five) post season wins and the Red's take home the Championship! We had a great time at the post season party -- water slide and bbq!

Rainforest Flower!

Quite the thespian! :o) Madie makes a fine Rainforest Flower if I do say so myself.

1st Place Tar Heels!

Woohoo! Madie's Softball team came in first place for the entire division! They ended the season with a fun party at Skate Country (way to go Team Mom! ahem...)

5K Run (Walk!)

We had a great walk for Anna's Angel Fund from our church, Hamilton Mill UMC through the park and back around! All for children's cancer -- Anna is a member of the church and a survivor -- she was there to greet the hundred's who crossed the finish line! Learn more http://annasangels.org/index.html

Mother's Day

Game Ball!

Game Ball for our Madie. Madison here with her coach and the coach's daughter Madie.

Spring Fling!

Go Braves -- we had a blast at the Spring Fling carnival. We (we?) jumped on jumpy things and won tickets to trade for "treasures" (a'la Chuck E Cheese!) and got our hair painted too!

Fast!

Madie and Chase did great at Field Day this year -- they brought home 2-3 blue ribbons each -- both winning the 50 yard dash among other events. And both of their classes won 2nd in the tug-o-war -- a very competitive (mostly for the teachers and parents!) event! (Click on an image to see full size -- check out Madie's stride in the first picture )

Azaleas!

We got our first bloom of azaleas out front this year -- last year they didn't produce but are everywhere. Not sure if it's the rain or maybe b/c they were still new in '08.

Crazy Hat Day!

I said no all year -- until the last crazy hat day. You pay a $1 and wear a hat in school -- it's for charity but a dollar here, a dollar there....

Taste of Trilogy!

We had a great time at the first (annual?) Taste of Trilogy -- I made a fancy dip (some of you know "Dip for the Stars") but couldn't pull off the most votes. The best part was buying 10 tastes for a buck or two and getting filled up on yummy food! Beer, wine, good friends, good food...need I say more!

Brownie Camp!

Overnight?! Madie had a great time at Camp Tiber Ridge, earning several patches cookie on an open fire and canoeing in the lake! How do you spell canoeing?! :o) Chase really wanted to go along but in the end settled for a hug.
