USSSA World Series Runner Up!

The BombSquad finished their 2009 season by playing in the USSSA World Series. Their age/level was held right here in Colorado so our team opted to play. We had qualified for the Series in March by winning our first tournament. We played teams from California, Missouri, Texas and Colorado. We played for a week straight in the sun and snow. (yes there was so much hail one day it looked as if it had snowed!) The boys went undefeated in their pool and pushed their way through additional games to end up placing 2nd in the nation. What an accomplishment. We lost in the final game to Team Phenom out of California. They were exactly that....phenomenal!

Go BombSquad!

Blake finished his 2nd year in competitive baseball with again an undefeated season. (17-0) His team ended up winning the League which entitles them to move up to the Major level next year. Upon completion of the League, his team played in the USSSA 10AAA Colorado State Championships. There were 20+ teams present and the BombSquad pulled out the title. They are now back-to-back champions winning last year as 9 year olds. Can't argue those accomplishments. The kids work hard, practice at least 3 days a week for 10 months straight.

Kendall Pursues High Jumping...just like Dad!




Each summer Kendall participates in a local Track-n-Field Program coordinated by our neighbor Amy Manson. Mark typically helps coach when it is high jump day. Looks like Kendall may have acquired some of her dad's high jump skills.

4th of July




Rock Creek each year has a 4th of July parade that our cul-de-sac partakes in. This year we bypassed building a float and opted for the kids to decorate their bikes and ride in it. Blake missed out as he was warming up for a baseball game.
