Heartbroken

Sadly our beloved Diesel was hit by a car yesterday and didn't make it.  I wanted to pay tribute to this amazing dog that brought so much joy to our lives.  These pictures are from the one short year we were blessed to have him in our lives; they are in no particular order...

Diesel came to Cannon Beach with us and loved every minute of the beach!

July 21, 2018...Diesel's first birthday.

A New Puppy!  September 2017

Diesel was part of our first day of school picture this year.  Just one of the kids.

This the last picture taken of Diesel one week ago.  He loved his people.

Diesel's first winter...he did love the snow.

Family photo.

He really was just one of the kids.

We got Diesel on September 17, 2017.

We drove all the way to Idaho to pick him up.

He was such a great puppy...we loved him so much.

He had the best personality.

He even liked to watch baseball!

And he was always there to comfort the kids when they needed it.

He loved his daddy too.

He was very loved by all.

This is from last Thanksgiving...such a cutie!

Emma captured this great shot of him.

He got to play in the leaves last year too.

We will always love you Diesel!  You will never be forgotten!

July 21, 2017 to October 7, 2018

Night game in Sandpoint

Marcus had a night game in Sandpoint ID.  Olivia was ready to cheer him on.

Emma and I were ready with our camaras.

I'm the official filmer so it's hard to take pictures but I do get a lot of great film!

Emma and Olivia usually work the camara so we can get pictures too.

Marcus's fan club!

Marcus had a great game.  He scored the only touchdown on the team.

The boys played their hearts out.

Love how they all walk with Marc and listen to his every word.

Thanks for coming everyone!

Riverside Softball

Olivia and Emma are playing school softball this year.  They had a game up in Newport; Gramie was there taking lots of pictures.  Olivia normally pitches but she played first base this game.

Warm ups with the team.

Emma stealing bases...she's good at that.

Emma is the main catcher for this team.

Olivia bunting.

Olivia had a great hit!  It was a triple!

Emma had a great hit too!

Emma takes off for home under the direction of Coach Tucker.

Another amazing hit by Olivia.

Gramie captured it all!  Proud Mom moment.

Thanks for coming to support the twins Gramie and Poppi!

Diamonds Fall Classic

Olivia and Emma played in their first tournament with their new 12U Diamonds Team.  Olivia ready to bat.

Nice Olivia!

Emma is going to do a lot of catching this year...this was a high one (not pitched by Olivia).

She's ready!

Emma got to play short and Olivia got to play first.

Olivia gets to pitch a lot this year too.

Go Olivia.

Nice form.

They played some hard teams but learned a ton.  Coach Tiffany was great!

Ready for more.

These girls have already formed a tight bond...here they are getting Olivia ready for her pitch.

Emma at bat.

Nice hit Emma!

Olivia is ready.

She's safe at first!

Steals at second.

Ready for another inning of pitching...love the support.

Olivia is having a ball and doing well.

We had a break and the girls made up a little game.

They have so much fun together.

Here's the new team!  Already loving these girls!

More base running.

Bunt!

Olivia gets her out at first!

Emma throws to second for another out.

Olivia is ready...she loves first base.

Out!  Nice!

Emma catching again.

Overall the weekend went well.  They had one win out of 5 games but they improved so much with each game.  They also played a lot of teams that will be an age bracket above them come spring so they did awesome!  Can't wait for the season to begin!
