Tigers vs Angels, August 29, 1986

Hi baseball fans!  Remember the story I told of being at an Angels game in 1986 and they scored 9 runs in the bottom of the 9th and won it on a two-strike, two-out, walk-off grand-slam?  Well, it's true, and now I can prove it.  And I got a game ball for extra measure.

In particular, pause the video at 38 seconds and tell me who you see in the stands behind the batter?



Oh, and the Mets are bums.

Lamar W. Skeen

Uncle Lamar passed away on May 14, 2014.  We attended his funeral on Thursday, May 22 in Warren.  Here are some pictures and videos from the day.  We will sure miss Lamar's witty personality, stories, unique sense of humor, and infectious laugh!  Wish I had a video of that!  I have many childhood memories of the farm & going out to see the cows.  I wish that Erin & Hilary could have been there, too.  You were missed!  Click HERE to read his obituary.

Military honors

Cousin Daniel played the bagpipes

It was a beautiful, warm day (even among the mosquitoes ;))

PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH THESE VIDEOS!...I realize that they are not right-side up; wait about 7 seconds & it will be. (Cut me some slack here, learning this blogging world AND a new cell phone! It's amazing I was able to edit the videos to get them right-side up! ;))

Jenna's piano recital

Today Jenna performed in her first piano recital at the Pleasant Valley Library in South Ogden.  (Technically it's her second recital, but only fellow students were allowed to come to the first one.)  This was the first one in front of family/friends.  She played "Jazzy".  Jenna memorized her piece and played it beautifully.  She didn't appear nervous at all but secretly told me she was a little bit. ;)  We're so very proud of her for being brave & for developing her new talent!  She has only been playing since September. :)  Great job Jenna!
