Back on Track

Well the rain subsided for a few days, enough for the kids to get back to the track. They were so happy to get back to riding. We were happy to get back to the track as well. Our entire family goes through racing withdrawal when we miss a few weekends.

McKenna got first place last weekend in Napa, taking the lead over 4 boys.

Ty is doing great in the Intermediate class. He is riding with clips now and this has greatly improved his speed. He has managed to shave 10 seconds off his track time in just a few short weeks.

Way to go Ty

So Ty had try outs a few weekends ago for little league. We decided to make the move and try out for minors this year. Well he did awesome, and got drafted. We are so proud of him, and the coaches were very impressed. I hit all of his balls and even managed to bunt the two balls that they asked. By the way, they never taught bunting in machine pitch, so Dad had the job of explaining it to Ty about 10 minutes before tryouts.

We got the phone call Wednesday night to let us know that Ty got drafted onto the minor team the Pirates. We even got the coach we wanted! We are so excited for baseball season to start. We will be posting pics, as soon as practice starts.

Christmas at the Moak House

Christmas at the Moaks was wonderful as usual. Ty and McKenna made out like bandits. Ty got clips for his bike and was so surprised and excited. McKenna got the usual girlie stuff, clothes, Hannah Montana stuff and all pink gear for t-ball. Oh yeah and did I forget to mention what time it was when they woke up on Christmas morning........4:57am. Yeah that's right, we were up and had all our presents open before most of you were even rolling out of bed. We hope you all had a Merry Christmas and will have a wonderful and prosperous new year in 2009.

Pics with the cousins

So I took pictures of all the cousins today for our annual Christmas pic. We usually go to JCPenneys or Picture People, but it always ends up being so chaotic, that the kids are spent by the time it's picture time. So we tried something a little different this year. The kids sure had fun in those leaves, can you tell?

Just Goofin

So I got my new camera on Wednesday, and it didn't take long for the kids to start acting silly in front of the camera. So here are a few of the pictures we took while mom learned about her camera (from dad really, cuz he reads the instructions and then tells me what to do.....i love him).
