Weekly Update - November 13, 2011
Fun filled week this one was! We prepared for the Turkey Trot Tournament in St. George, UT for the Bomb Squad 9U team (Jackson's team). The team was playing up in the 10U bracket and ended up losing all four games and not scoring too many runs, but we learned a lot. Brenton played in two games for the Hitmen this week and ended up scoring in both of them. One at bat he got on base with the 3rd strike drop rule, then stole 2 bases and scored on a grounder. It was pretty sweet! This week was also the McGladrey volunteer day were we helped with Project Homeless Connect. Pretty interesting and makes you realize to not take what you have for granted. Amberley went to a really fun Halloween Party with her friends and had a blast! All in all it was a great week, especially since the Niner's beat the Giants!

Weekly Update - November 6, 2011
Interesting week this last week. Started off with Mike's Birthday. Just another year older. We got to enjoy his favorite meal. . . Spaghetti! Halloween meant work for Mike late and the kid's 
loading up on candy from the neighborhood. Amberley was dressed up like a Japanese dancer, Brenton was a punk kid that had been beaten up and on crutches. Jackson was Dracula! After a while Amberley's feet hurt, so she took all of the candy and traversed home. The boys ventured on and we had to call them to come home or they would have been out knocking on doors for the whole night! They must have amassed 30 pounds of candy! Luckily Jackie hid the candy and rations it out to everyone. Brenton got to play 3, well actually 2 baseball games (one team forfeited). He is consistently hitting the ball. The team is doing okay, but always could improve. He also played hard in his basketball game against the Las Vegas Elite. The last time they played this team it was a 40 point blow out. This time the Tarheels stayed with them all game long. Amberley is rocking it in basketball inter murals. She is looking forward to tryouts. Jackson and I are prepping for our first tournament as a Bomb Squad 9U team. It has been fun to watch the team come together. Thanks 
to a nice guy (Bill Wells) at Mike's office we got two free tickets to the UNLV Men's Basketball Team Exhibition game. Jackson and Jackie got to go and check it out. The Reb's are under a new coach this season, so we are hoping for a great season and a tourney run!! Mike went to Chicago to teach training to first year employees at M&P. It was a fast trip, but worth it. The baby is getting along well. The Wednesday check up was a success. He is about 5 pounds and has a strong heartbeat. Jackie had a baby shower Friday night and we have to thank everyone for their gifts!!! We really appreciate it.
