Happy 53rd Anniversay Mom and Dad!

Today marks 53 years of Marriage for my parents! They have set such an example for me and my siblings....and have always been the BEST parents to us. I hope to celebrate my 53rd Anniversary in 2052 with Brad!

Soccer Season....how did it go by so fast?!

It seems like we just started soccer...and I haven't even posted pictures from the kids seasons. Let's face it, I haven't posted ANY pics for sooooo long. Better late then never I say...

Brody and Sammi in their uniforms ready for the first game of the season!! This is Sammi's first year playing soccer. She is playing on the Blazin' Hot Rockets with her friends Rylie and Lauren. It's Brody's first year playing on a U8 team...he is on the Red Devils with his friends Zachary and Kenny!

Pancake Pajama Picnic at CTK!

Sammi has been working on the letter "P" in class...so her wonderful teacher Mrs. Mulder planned a Pancake Pajama Picnic for the kids! I was lucky enough to make the yummy pancakes and then get to share in another fun moring in Room 4!

And the picnic begins...

Sammi and her buddy Jaci!

Those silly girls...

I ventured out to the playground to watch these crazy kids play! Sammi was pulling her friends around on the Tricycle...here she is pulling Abigail!

Next it was Jaci's turn for a Sammi ride!

Go Sammi...use those muscles!

It's fun to play in your jammies!

Back to class for a bible story by Mrs. Mulder!

Then they got to color pictures from their bible story...

and of course, write their name on the back! I love when Sammi writes her name...too cute!

It's Titan Time!!!

We are a baseball family and we all love going to CSUF baseball games...we were lucky to learn that our friends the Bloomfields love going to college games too! We were all able to enjoy a great, but hot, Sunday afternoon in Fullerton, CA and watch the Titans tromp on the UCSB Gauchos...great day with great friends!

We got their early enough to enjoy some hot dogs for lunch! Father and son enjoying a ball game together...it doesn't get any better!

Sammi and her pink mit just WAITING to catch a foul ball!

The Bloomfield boys (Parker and Mason) with Brody...

Sammi and her friend Rylie!

Brad was lucky enough to get all the kids to sit with him!

Kristen and I tried to get a shot together...and Sammi joined us for some smiles!

After the game the kids got to run the bases...and they earned a FREE pizza too!

And Sammi is off...run girlfriend!

and Sammi is rounding third base!

Mason is trying to catch up with Sammi...look at her go!

Look at Brody working out with the team...ok, so he is running from 2nd to 3rd!

And "Wheels" Byers crosses home plate!!

The Byers and The Bloomfields!! Great friends, great day!

Our happy little family!

Congrats Daddy!!

I'm very excited to announce that our Daddy, Firefighter/Paramedic Brad Byers, has been promoted to Engineer with the City of Redlands Fire Department!

We are soooo proud of our Daddy!!

Sammi learns to ride a "two wheela"...

Sammi has been asking to take the training wheels off her bike for a few weeks now...we didn't think she would be ready being that she just turned 4, but she insisted! Brad took her to Yucaipa Community Park and padded her up...gave her a little push and she was off! She is soooo proud and happy that she rides a "two wheela" now...she wants to scream it from the top of the mountains!! We are very proud of her...

Here is our big girl learning to ride a two wheeler with NO training wheels!!

and off she goes...

She caught on right away according to Daddy!

Sammi was all smiles!

Look at her go...
