Mark and the Rangers




Mark's baseball team has continued to dominate the other teams around town in their Tournament of Champions. Last night, Mark played center field and 2nd base. He had a walk, a strikeout, and a triple down the right field line. Next game is for the championship!

CIF State Track Finals




Lane had a fantastic race! He placed 9th out of 31 with a PR time of 9:02.44. We are so proud of how he has patiently worked his way back after being injured. Coach Peters wrote a wonderful article on Lane at http://www.kingtrackandfield.com/ . You might want to check it out. He also links to the video of Lane's race.
Thanks to those who made the trek up to Fresno and to those who cheered Lane on at home. We appreciate all your support and good wishes as he trained and raced these past few weeks. And some of you guys even went on training runs with him.

Forest Home




Went to our cabin in Forest Home to clear wood out from under the cabin. Roger, Sharon, Brian and Eric have been spending many days over the last month to prepare the cabin for a new roof. The more they work the longer their To-Do list gets. Thanks to the Kelly and her boys, Daniel and Andrew who came up on one days notice to lend a hand. They were a huge help! After we were done Kelly, the boys and I went to the creek to check out all the water. Lots of it!
