Flag Football - VERY proud of Antonio

I asked Antonio a few months ago what spring sport he wanted to play.  He said "Flag Football".  I said "why".  He said, "I want to work on my skills for fall tackle".  Cool.  So, he is playing flag in I-9 Sports leagues spring season.  I am so proud of him - he is leading the team in defense (pulled flags).   He also has a couple of touchdowns.  It's really building his confidence.

Powder Puff Derby

Brianna's Girl Scout Daisy troop had their "Powder Puff" Derby races yesterday.  She didn't win, but faired pretty well for her first time.  She and I had fun building the car and decorating it - that's all that really matters!

Lacrosse - West Forsyth VS Cherokee

Another great day to watch a Lacrosse match.  Diego played well - he is getting more aggressive on defense which is good. 

Cub Scout Photography Belt Loop

We broke our pocket camera over spring break.  We decided it was time to upgrade to a D-SLR Camera with extra zoom lens.  We got the Nikon D-5000.  It's a great camera.  I taught Antonio how to use it and we worked on the Cub Scout Photography belt loop this morning.  He took all these pictures - not bad huh?

5 Mile Hike

On Tuesday of Spring Break, we took everyone up to Anna Ruby Falls National Recreation area for a picnic and some hiking.  Rob, Roberta, Paul, Diego, and Antonio hiked the 5 mile trail from Anna Ruby to Unicoi State Park and Belinda, Gwen, Marco, and Brianna drove the cars down and met us 3 hours later.  It was a challenging hike, but lots of fun and very pretty.

Spring Break 2010 Part II

The 2nd visitors for the week were Rob's sister Roberta, her husband Paul, and their 3 kids Gwen, Madison, and Nathan.  They arrived on Monday and stayed through Friday.  The weeks activities included a visit to Anna Ruby Falls and Unicoi State Park, Helen GA, a Braves Game, the World of Coke museum, couple of tennis matches, and some fishing in the backyard.  The weather cooperated - it was beautiful most of the week.

Spring Break 2010 Part 1

Spring break was awesome this year.  Rob took the whole week off, and we had visitors from "up north".  The Taylors were the first to arrive - it was a stopover visit for them as they were on their way to Florida.  We took them to one of our favorite places - Amicalola Falls and hiked.  We did the complete loop - up and down the stairs from top to bottom and them through the woods back to the car.  It was fun!
