Grandma

Cahl's grandma Betty passed away today. She has been sick and in the hospital for a few weeks now. She was an amazing woman, the absolute matriarch of this family, and everything that I can only hope to live up to. She lived to be 81 years old, and was married for nearly 62 years. She raised an incredible family- 4 children, 16 grandchildren, and 19 great grandchildren. She is so loved, and will be missed terribly. But I know that she is now at peace, and I am relieved that she is no longer sick or in any pain.

Rage vs Cowboys

Tristan's team played the Cowboys today, and won 32-12. The Rage are now 2-0 and off to a great start!




March of Dimes

My sister is doing a March of Dimes walk in May up in Idaho, and I am trying to do what I can to support her. Above is the link to her page, so if you feel so inclined to, please go and help out too. This is a great cause, and it is so very important. I am going to try and see if I can find an upcoming walk here in Vegas that I can do. I will let everyone know what I find out, so anyone interested can come along.
