Baseball Opening Day

Opening Day at RB Little League
This year Antonio is in the Majors. His team is the Tampa Bay Rays. This is him hitting. He really loves the game. His strength is being a catcher, just like his dad. He's been known to make a few throws to get a kid out at second base just like Piazza (goggle it if you don't know who he is :)

This is Alejandro. He is in Farm, that is one level above Rookies and one level below Minors. His team is the A's. He has definitely taken up after his brother. His strength is hitting. That boy can get on base just about every time he goes behind the plate. Soooo cute.

This is Isabella and Bueli (my mom). Here we are at Antonio's game. She's showing us how she puts on her helmet. She also brought her Princess bat and ball set with her, can you say future ball player!

Christmas Day 2008

We had an amazing day. First the boys woke up at 6-wow. Next year we put a limit to the wake up time. We send them back to bed, until we got ready, (it takes Brandon a few minutes to get going without Mona-Vie :) Before opening any gifts we spend some time remembering the "reason for the season". Thank you God for Jesus!

The fam got a Wii. The boys spotted that right away. After we opened all our gifts we went to the "Retirement Home" across the street from our house and we sang carols and played games with some of the residents. Our Youth pastor set that up and I'm really glad he did. It's really important to remember that it is not about what we get, but what we give to others.

Mom and Joe came over with 3 huge bags full of presents for us. They spoil us rotten. For dinner Brandon smoked a ham. It was delicious. After dinner we spent time together playing the Wii (the Wii history says we spend 7 hrs playing all day), watching movies, just a quiet family time.

Pictures coming soon, as soon as I can figure out a problem with the slide show.

Love,
Keener Fam :)
