Shelby (Gray's Best Bud)"The Little Mermaid" and Gracie is the "Tooth Fairy"..She decided she wanted to be the tooth fairy because she has a "dead tooth" that's grey and she wants it to fall out..so she thought this might help the process...

COLIN CHRISTOPHER MENDENHALL.....To say the Crazysocks were the underdogs in the season ending tourney would be an understatement..They ended the regular season 2-7. So..on Monday when the tourney began we thought we would be done...Here we are 3 games later and "The 10 and under Division Champions!!! The girls played their hearts out and gave it 110% today and after a 2 hour game in the rain all their hard work paid off!!

What is the deal with this picture? Well, it's the only one that got taken over the weekend when we ventured with our friends to Turkey Run State Park and Newport, Indiana for "The Hilltop Climb"..a bunch of old cars (before 1940) and motorcycles see how fast they can climb a hill....Woohoo....Jason and Ben loved the old cars and I have never seen so many interesting people in a tiny town. Only one photo? Little did I know that I was coming down with the flu and would spend the next 5 days thinking something was eating my muscles and I was sweating to death and then freezing "to death"! Luckily it's over for me and I hope NoOne else gets it! The kids had a great time, though and we can't wait to start camping again in the spring...
