Jets Flag Football

Ty is playing flag football this fall as well as baseball with the Twelve.  Most of his games have been at 8:00pm so I have not been able to get many photo opportunities!  This week he had a game at 6:00pm so here are some photos of Ty playing flag football.

Nick and Zinka’s Wedding

We recently made the trip back to Iowa for our nephew’s wedding.  Nick and Zinka are obviously in love and we are so happy that they were married.  The occasion was a great family time as well.  As usual I would rather tell the story in pictures.Nick Wedding 10-1-11 (2)

The parents of the groom, Dennis and Kay.

Pitcher

Ty pitched at a recent game.  I think I have a few photos of his dad pitching in minor league baseball…..a little comparison.
