June 22, 2008--
We enjoyed a barbeque at Nate & Tami's (on Sunday June 22). The storm that blew through the night before brought some very pleasant (milder) temperatures and we all had a great time visiting outside after dinner since the weather wasn't unbearably hot.
Nate & Tami's boys, Sam and Shawn, are both athletic and quite talented. Sam excels in soccer and Shawn in baseball. Sam accidentally sent a couple of soccer balls flying by our heads as the rest of us were unsuspectingly visiting on the back patio. His long-distance kicking ability is amazing. Keep up the good work, Sam!
Sam's younger brother Shawn, the 'lil slugger, sent almost all of his baseballs over the neighbor's fence during batting "practice." (They have him use plastic baseballs so he doesn't inadvertently injure/damage anyone or anything.) He has a fantastic batting ability. Way to go, Shawn!
Bethany, Nate & Tami's daughter, was a joy to be around and has quite the vocabulary and ability to enunciate her words at her age. It's very amusing to carry on a conversation with her. She's quite charming, and cute, I might add! When her hair is in pig tails, she looks almost exactly like the character in "Monsters, Inc." named Boo.~
