Be the Ball

Mont: You know, you should play with LaRon and myself. I mean, he's been club champion and I'm no slouch myself.

LR: Don't sell yourself short Mont, you're a tremendous slouch.

Alaskan Cruise

The sights in Alaska and on the ocean are incredible. The best word to describe it all is just "WOW!"

From Sea Kayaking in Sitka to the Zipline in the Alaskan Rainforest, it was a trip we will never forget.

Welcome Patricia Ann!

From her Grandma Trish's arms to her mother's arms, Baby Trish waited until we were home to arrive.

Grandpa LaRon couldn't wait to meet her and Gma Nae couldn't wait to kiss her little tiny toes.
