Let me tell you about my guy.....

Just wanted to tell everyone about my guy...who is my pride and joy.

He worked hard and got his degree in 3 years instead of 4. All this while still working.

He aced almost all of his classes...he had 2 high B+'s. But has a 4.0 GPA in Accounting.

He did it when he was not the traditional student....meaning he was a little older than most ;o).

And now I'm proud to say he is the new Ada County Accounting Manager and has 36 departments under him! How fun!!

It will be interesting to see if he can handle a 8-5 job!! Ha,ha,ha!! I know he will do fine and love every moment of it!!

I don't know what he is more excited about....having a Monday - Friday job, weekends off and 2 weeks vacation, or having an office with 3 windows!!!

I just want him to know that I'm proud of him...and I'm going to miss not seeing him on my lunches or having dinner ready for me when I get home... Now I will be home first and have to cook!! ha,ha,ha!! French fries and chocolate...Yummmy!!

Way to go Tim....continue to work hard and show them what you got!!!

Love ya tons speckle belly!!

Perfect weather for a t-ball game....

Ok I'm a little behind on posting so here are some of The III's great moments in T-Ball in 2009 ;o) Here he is trying to hide from the camera!!!
Ready for the ball.... Look at that concentration!!
Here is Coach "Pete" coaching while The III is batting...It's going to be a double!!!

And he is off on the run!!!
Here are the Uncle, sister and cousins....playing football????
Yes it is pouring down rain...perfect weather for baseball!! Here are three cute little kids who wanted their picture taken.
Caleb caught the ball!!!
Ethan got the umbrella!!

Tatem and Ethan...yep you guessed it fighting over the umbrella!! And Caleb saying ooohh you two are going to get in trouble!!The III getting his batting gloves on.
Running into third base...not sure what is up with the hands

Waiting for a ball to come outfield....and it's cold!!
Short stop.
Running to get the ball that second base man is just watching!! ha,ha,ha
Sitting and watching the III
Coach "Pete" warming up the team ;o)


Coach "Pete" handing the batting line up over to the bench mom
The III, watching the ball, dropping the bat, and running all at once!! Like the shades?
Time to be out in the field again.
Fielding a ball
Throwing the ball to first base
And again...The III and the little girl on first make a great team
And one more time!
Catch it, catch it, catch it????
A picture of Tatem and some strange lady??
What where did that T come from!!! Look at it bend there is some power in that swing!

Yep there is the tongue
watching a play

Ready for the ball if it comes his way!
Race for the base!!
Yikes the ball went over his head and the runner is coming in
yep she out ;o(...but ;o)
Your guess is as good as mine????

The BIG play of the game...this was their last chance (the little girl and the III"s) to make that big play for the season...the batter hits, she fields it and throws it to the III and look at that he catches it, and gets his foot on the base!!! Not the first time they have done it but it was a BIG thing this game!! Awesome play!!!!
Team Cheer!!!
The above picture is the pirates gone wild!!!
Eating team pizza!
What Grandpa is yawning???
We were nice enough to let Coach "Pete" set with us
Miss Tatem isn't she cute!
Now this picture cracks me up...Tripp looks like WOW look how big those are...He brought them he knows how big they are!!

Tripp getting his trophy, and ball.
Showing them off!
Look no hands!!! Who needs hands to eat a cupcake when the table is just the right level to hold it!
The Assistant coaches giving Coach "Pete" and award ;o)
Coach "Pete" giving his assistants an award!
Tripp showing off his trophy


What a goof!
I have a ton more pictures ...but can't find them so this is what you get!!!
I forgot until the end that The III goes by Tripp when he is playing ball, and Coach "Pete" is Tripp's very own Daddy, John. But one of the player told Terriebeth that John's name was Pete and even though she told him it was John the kid called him Coach "Pete" all season!
Here is to next year...Tripp, Ethan and Tatem all playing fun!!! Ok maybe Ethan ;o)
