2 Super Nice Guys

Last Summer we got a call from a friend in Utah. He said that a friend of his and his wife were in town attending a Garth Brooks charity event, and if we had time could we show them around town. The friend ended up being Ryan and Laura Denney. Ryan plays for the Buffalo Bills. We took them out for the afternoon on our boat and had a great time. We met them Sunday at church and he brought Chris Hoke who plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Both of them posed for pictures with some of the youth at church. No big deal. A few weeks later we get a package in the mail that Chris and Ryan both signed for Matt. What a great surprise that these guys in the middle of their season would take the time to send one picture back and forth to each other , sign it and then ship it to us.

Brother Bikers

Mike's brother Butch-Wayne came to visit last April from Canada. Whenever he visit's they always have to go for a motorcycle ride. They have a great time and love to spend as much time together as possible. Looking forward to your next visit.

Tyler Wrestling 09

Tyler wrestled for the first time. He was unsure of himself at the beginning and lost every match. As a 6th grader he wrestled mostly 7th and 8th graders. Towards the end of the season he had scored points and won a match by a pin. Mike was helping coach and everyone came off the bench when he won. Coach Taylor hugged Tyler so hard that we thought his back was broken. What a great day.

Marathon Training

Mike has decided after watching me train for several Marathons that it can't be that bad. I have challenged him to run with me this year. He didn't have a clue what he was getting into since I get to Coach him. We have run our neighborhood several times, but the big challenge is "The Block". It's 6 miles surrounding our neighborhood with sidewalks and business's and schools. After a world wide text went out to our friends, they KINDLY came by and honked. I tried to convince Mike that drafting is part of running, but only I get to draft him.
