Houlton Farms Dairy Team Wins Little League Championship



Jacob's Little League team won the championship today in a very exciting game! It was close all the way and kept us all on our seats, but they were able to come through with a big win. They aired the game on the local radio station so that added some excitement for the boys. They were also interviewed after the game and were treated to ice cream at their sponsor, Houlton Farms Dairy. Samuel was able to hold the flag while the National Anthem was played before the start of the game. After the game and ice cream to celebrate, all of the boys came to our house for a pool party which was a nice ending to a really fun day! :)

Ashley Goes to the 8th Grade Dance!


Well, it's the end of an era for us!! Ashley is officially ending her junior high school life and will become a freshmen in high school!! Yikes! Tonight she is off to the last big event of 8th grade....the 8th grade dance. She reluctantly dressed up in her finest, (Ashley would much rather go in jeans and a t-shirt!), headed to Pizza Hut with a bunch of her girlfriends, and then off to the big dance. Mom will pick her up at 10:00 and bring her and 3 friends back to our house for an "after-dance sleepover"!! After all, they need time to laugh and talk about all the happenings at the dance. Mom and Dad can now breath a sigh of relief as the weeks of dress shopping, shoe shopping, and jewerly shopping has now come to an end!! :)
