Our Lil' Minor League Baseball Trip

A Minor League Baseball Pictoral

We set up camp and went to our first game to see the Keys play in Frederick, MD. 

It was a really nice stadium, new, clean, very nice.

 During the 7th inning stretch everyone shakes their keys to rally the team.  Papa thought that his hanky woulld suffiice and we soon were kicked out of the stadium for being Yankee ""wiseguys".

To make up for what he had done he made breakkfast in the morning.

Off to Hagerstown to see the Suns play.   It was an older stadium that smelled of Prohibition .

 We traveled up to Pennsylvania to see the Williamsport Crosscutters play.   My father insisted they were called the Lumberjacks.  Me thinks he reads too much of the Tonawanda News.

 We had a nice site but no shade for relief.  It was hot.

 Last game was in State College to see the Spikes.  Beautiful stadium.   Zach and I were here last year watching Penn State play Ohio State.

 4th of July, hot and always in the sun.   Yikes!

Zach loves keeping score.  I taught him well.

We had a great time, had good food, good beer and hopefully we will do it again.

This ain't no april fools joke, people!

The Orchard Park Hillbillies!

 

 

 

Unless you're otherwise engaged, we will be hosting a very casual housewarming/meet baby Benjamin get together on Saturday, August 10, at our new digs in Orchard Park!  More information forthcoming!

CONGRATULATIONS! Onward and upward!

Words do not adequetely express how incredibly proud we are of our Awesome Austin! What a wonderful graduation night that was held at Artpark to honor 200+ graduating seniors. As the

Valedictorian gave a speech that moved everyone to tears; I thought back at the 13 plus years of schooling our Austin has gone through to become the incredible young man he is today. He was left with some parting words that his classmate reminded him to be the person he wants to be, not what someone else wants him to be. That every door contains an opportunity; and there may be some challenges along the way; but take that opportunity and do not look back. She reminded all of us that if you think the best years of your life were high school; just wait to see what the future has in store. I am so looking forward to watching Austin continue to grow into the man he is today, to reach his goals, to follow his dreams.

Our family blog has kept us all together for many years, helped us keep in touch, post and share many of our lifes memories; weddings, births, even exciting and breaking news moments. One thing is for sure; I am truly blessed I have the family I have.  Way to go Austin! We love you!!!!!!!!

Kenmore Middle at Darien Lake

There was a band competition at Darien Lake yesterday that Emma was part of.  Who knew.
I love the roller coaster with the screaming kids going by.

First Family- City of Tonawanda

 Well I guess we could say that our campaign is starting to come together. We had our pictures professionally done for our Palm Cards. I think they turned out great! On the back of the palm card we will have the picture of my parents and I along with important phone numbers to call. On the front, will be my picture along with my qualifications.

Let the games begin!

Look To Koch!

Family and Friends,

Last evening at the Democratic Committee Meeting, I was officially endorsed to run for the COT Fourth Ward (by a unanimous vote). I am looking forward to this opportunity to serve the residents of the Fourth Ward and the City of Tonawanda. While this is a new venture for me; I could not do this without your support. I am not by any means a political person but; I have a desire, passion, and commitment to helping people. I want to apologize in advance for any missed family events or leaving early from now to November. I am so thankful to so many people who have already given so much to the campaign. I have a wonderful design logo for my campaign signs, tee shirts, pens, thank you notes, palm cards, etc courtesy of KDH and her amazing graphic designer.
I want to thank you all for your support and love. We are going to work tirelessly (sorry volunteers) to meet with, listen to, and work for the residents. Gram has even agreed to join in on the campaign trail. I already know her schedule is busier than mine; so we will keep her public appearances to a minimum.

Love you all,
Jenna

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANASTASIA!

Happy Birthday to the one who keeps all of us on our toes! She looks great for 96! May you have many more Grandma, many more.
