NWLLL Fall Baseball Team

Kelly played on a great fall Minor League team this fall. He was a great asset to the Bullets and played alot on 2nd, 3rd and Short Stop. He even pitched a few innings and did a great job for his first time pitching. Kelly made alot of new friends and had an awesome season...he can't wait to play Minor League this spring!!!

Kelly's field trip to the Jr. Museum

Kelly's 3rd grade class went to the Jr. Museum for a field trip today. They had a guided tour and got to do lots of cool things like ... make butter, plow and plant a field and participate in a day in a one room school house. We even took a quick little trip around the trail after lunch to look at some of the animals. I am so glad that I got to join Kelly and his class on the trip!

Keel family hot dog roast

This year's Keel family annual hot dog roast had to be held on Sunday night due to everyone's busy schedule. We had a great time roasting hot dogs, eating smores, jumping on the trampoline, bobbing for apples and visiting with family and friends.

TRICK OR TREAT!

We went Trick-or-treating with the NeSmith family and had a blast!! The kids started out riding on the back of the wagon but after the first house it was just us mom's...and we had so much fun. Afterwards we went back to Nanci's parents house for some wonderful chili.

Happy 9th Birthday Kelly!!!

Can't believe my baby boy is 9! Where has the time gone?

Labor Day Picnic

We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon sitting by the pool, eating, and visiting with family and friends. The NeSmith's joined all the Keel's for the afternoon. The kids, minus Madie (who sat with the adults and texted!) had lots of fun jumping in the pool and playing a made up "football" game.

Back to School

Can't believe the summer is over and the kids are going back to school. Madie will be a Sophomore at Leon High School, Michaela will be starting 7th at Raa Middle School and Kelly will be starting 3rd at Springwood Elementary. We've got the trifecta of schools again this year!

Fishin' at Joe Budd

We took the kids fishing out at Joe Budd Pond on Saturday morning. Although the fish weren't biting very much (we only caught 5 total) everybody had lots of fun.

Jeff caught the biggest fish of the day.

Michaela ate a worm!!!! (not really!)

We even saw a little alligator swimming around.

A day at the farm.

My brother-Justin, his wife-Amy, and my nephew-John Michael came for a visit from Pennsylvania. Jeff and I took Tuesday off from work and we all went out to Nana and Abuelo's "Farm" out in Madison to check it out and do some work.

We walked around the 55 acres and the kids had to check out the guys hunting stands.

Michaela, Kelly and John Michael had fun trying to whittle things with their knives.

Oso and Moose had fun running around the property.

We picked wild blackberries and saw the most gorgeous flowers.

Justin and Jeff had to try out the new tractor and got real dirty.

Abuelo even talked Madie into driving it and bush hogging. She loved it and didn't even mind getting all dirty too.

We enjoyed a picnic lunch together.

We all had a great day!
