Foxes

This past weekend the Foxes came into town for a father and son baseball tournament. We were lucky enough to see a few of their games. My kids are always up for ball games as am I so we were excited. Dave used to come out a ton for base ball tournaments and I can remember enjoying his games when I was a kid as well. He was an excellent ball player and I have to say I was so impressed with his skills to date. Trevor and Adam also did really well. I miss the Foxes and wish that we got to see them more often. After his game on Fri. we all got together at Applebees and visited. I missed not having Desiree with them.
I didn't get to many good pics but the one standing is Dave. He played 1st base and did awesome. I think its been about 8 years ago that Dave had his stroke. He is such a fighter and is an amazing example to me. I have so many great memories that involve him. He is down right funny and good at everything he does. I guess I was thinking that it would be hard for him to hit the ball and well, do most of whats required. You have to react so quickly to make contact and he looked like a pro. Its pretty awesome to me that some one can go through all he has and continue to exceed at things. He truly amazes me and I am a better person for knowing their entire family!

That is Trevor out in center field. The pic I took of Adam was blurry. I don't think that I had seen Trevor for at least 7 years. He just got back from serving his mission and isn't the skinny little boy I remembered. I am sure before to long he will be making some girl very lucky. Heather was here for work so it worked out really well. Its always good to see her smiling face. She and Adam are expecting in June. She and Desiree will have a ton of fun having the babies that close together. Desi is due in April. They will be exactly how Trey and B are. I'm rambling on but it was great to see them and to see Dave playing ball like the good ole days.
