Leaving Seattle

Hey friends, here is some mountain that we flew over leaving Seattle in September. Claudia may be able to let us know which one it is.

Pudge at 1B in Seattle. Mom, Claudia and I caught a game while we where in Seattle and it just happen to be the dang Yankees. Oh well they didn't go amywhere this year. Ha

Can't beat a dog from the ballpark. Also fish and chips from Ivar's seafood.

Leatherheads. LOL I couldn't fit in it so I stuck it on my head.

Cedar Creek lake house

Bear chilling out on the bass boat. He is a bit tired from all the swimming.

The boat house. Stores a nice boat, bass boat and wave runner. It is set up with stereo system and one big deck on top to enjoy the sunrise and sunset.

Here is one of those beautiful sunsets from the lake.

Cam, me , Bear and Jacob. Cooling off. We ran a water line out to the boat house from the lake house. So we needed some relaxing.

Jacob and Jess being silly on the boat.
Jacob loves Mustangs. Here he is taking a picture of one at a Sonic in Ennis on our way home.

DFW NABA 28A Fall Champions

Those of you that know me know that I play baseball. I love the game of baseball. I have been playing in this league since 1996. Started out with a team that slapped players together and struggled for a few years called the Threat. Then I played for a team the Rangers and after new management changed the name to the Indians. We are a bunch of guys playing for the love of the game. Some of us have been together for 10plus years. We enjoy it every year.

This year 2008 we finished 2nd place in the spring and got knocked out in the playoffs.

This fall we finished up 3rd and won the championship.

Tyson on the hill for the Championship game 28A division. I was catching. Tyson and I have been battery partners in 4 Championship games.

Finally get a solid hit after 4 at bats. A 4 for 4 day is not bad.

Watch out Willie!

Here Bo slides in at home after a hit. Jonni plate umpire was on top of it and called him safe.

We celebrate after the game is over for the teams 5 Championship game. 4 under the Indians name.

Fall 2008 Indians 28A Division Champions.

Here are the longest team members. Joe-4, Tyson-4, Steve-5 (guess he forgot 1) and Kenny-3 Championships.

Zahradnik and Salas. Tyson went to Sam Houston high school like I did and was a pitcher for them. And we all know my story.
Jessica and dad. Jess thank you for being here. I love you.

Jacob and dad. Thanks for being here. I love you.

Cam and dad. I love you.

We had a great fall season. I was on the disable list for the last 4 games with a leg injury. I was glad to be ready to play the final game. This was my best season finishing with a .625 batting Avg. I will have to say I will remember this one for a long time. Going 4-4 with 1 RBI and 1- (2-4 Pick off). Thanks Tritt for staying with that tag. Thanks to all my friends and family for being there. Thanks for taking pictures Lynn. Terry thank for not breaking any of my wood bats.
