Hello all!!....Yes we are still alive. Belive it or not...to get you all caught up I'll start with the kids. Caden and Calista are both playing indoor soccer and are both on the 1st place team for their age group ( Caden is in u8 boys and Calista is in the u10 section). They are both soing sooo well! They both play goalie for the first half and forward the second half. Nothing gets past them and they score at least once each game! They are incredible to watch. Calista and Caden are both playing ball right now, too. Caden is on the pac-coast A's team and will be starting pitching lessons this summer. Calista made the Foothill Gold ASA team at the 1st try-outs. She is the star shortstop, bats 1st or 2nd in the line up, and is one of the most hard core girls on the field! Parents are always making comments like, "was that Calista that just dove for that ball? How did you get her to do that?" All we can say is that were not sure, but we think aunt Holly and Papa Lorin may have had an influence! Calista's team just took 3rd place at the triple crown qualifing tourmnament in Salinas ( losing only to an academy team). They were awsome and Calista batted 500. She also made an amazing dive back to 2nd after a failed attempt to steal and some great infield diving catches. This means her team has been invited to play in Park City Utah the 1st week of July (7-12) and she can't wait.Her team is also playing many tourmaments over the next few months including Reno in May and Souther Cal at the end of Summer. SHE'S ONE TOUGH COOKIE, and her brother is following suite. Anyhow, Cassy is still working at the pharmacy in Placerville and teaching 5 classes a week at the sports club including a new spin class. She is also taking Molecular Biology and Inorganic Chemical quantitative analysis this semester at Sac State. Matt is still working at the county as the head CNE in the IT dept. He is also the main chauffeur for the kids sports practices and games.


Well....we are busy beavers and love you all. Here are some pictures at sports, hiking, lizard catching, etc.
