Stay tuned....

With softball and baseball starting up, I realized I have some new things to blog about.  Then I realized that I have not ever blogged about the kids bowling either.  My kids bowl on leagues every Saturday morning.  They are getting better and better.  This is something that I did as a child (from 5 yo - 18 yo).  I loved it.  A few years back we had contemplated starting the kids in bowling, but didn't.  Then last year we started the girls.  Jacob wasn't really interested at the time, but we took him with us every Saturday morning.  After about 2.5 months of him just sitting and watching, he decided it couldn't hurt anything for him to give it a shot.  He had an amazing coach, Coach Jonie.  I don't know if she knew how great she was for Jacob or not, but his confidence grew.  All of his fears of others making fun of him for not being the best, were laid to rest, as that behavior was not permitted, with or without Jonie around, the kids just didn't act like that.  With all 3 of them bowling now, and on their second year, it's fun to watch them try to beat their average, or try to beat their coach like they got to do a few weeks ago.  Two of the kids were invited to a tournament this year, but we declined as the tournament would happen on a Sunday.  So the next time everyone is at bowling, I will have to take a few pictures so we will have them here.

Niagara Falls

Sometimes I really have to step back and thank my Heavenly Father over and over again for leading me to such a marvelous man.  Isaac is truly remarkable.  He completely surprised me with a trip to Niagara Falls.  It was so amazingly beautiful.  Our room at the Embassy Suites was overlooking the falls as well.  We took a tour to go down beside and behind the falls and then toured around on the American side as well.

                                          This is the view from our room!

                                       The horse shoe falls were so amazing!

             This is my favorite view.  And can you believe this is not zoomed in at all?

Needless to say, we had a wonderful time.  Might I suggest Niagara for your next getaway weekend, or week day trip (Wed - Fri ) like we did!!
