We're a Navy Family!!

Hi Friends and Family

We are very excited to share that Matt has joined the US Navy! He is going to work in IT which is what he loves and we're so excited. Yesterday he got a call from someone down in Phoenix. He said that they were impressed with him and have asked him to participate in something called Excelling your Excellence (we think, we can't remember it's official title.) It's by invitation and they are going to have Matt take classes this fall and spring, then head to bootcamp June 2010, then he goes to his A+ school for IT, then one more semester after that at a college the Navy has picked out. Matt will then have his Associate's Degree and he'll go to his assignment wherever that may be. With all this he will finish as an E4, possibly an E5. We're so excited for the road ahead. God opened these doors in such a way that we can't do anything but give Him ALL the Glory. So we'll be around for the next year, but then we'll be wherever God and the Navy take us! Beth

BALLOONS!!!

The other day I had to take the car in to the shop and while we were waiting one of the car salesmen came over with 2 balloons for the kids. They were HUGE. I guess they were two that they normally have outside tied up to the cars. They were even the kids favorite colors... Orange and Yellow. We tried to capture how big the balloons are and hope you can see that in the pictures. The balloons were HUGE! :)

Aaron's Coach Pitch

Aaron is playing coach pitch this year and he loves it! In his last game he was up to bad 3 times and hit all 3 times!! Here are just a few pictures of Aaron playing. Hopefully soon we'll grab a picture of him batting for real. Our camera's batteries died before he went up to bad at one of his games... and we've forgotten the camera other days. Enjoy these! Matt took the camera with him the day they took the team picture and all that, so here you can see Aaron and his team! :)
