We had to drive by our very first house in Las Vegas, from 1983, when interest rates were 14%! Yikes. This is what it looks like today;
Friends from Las Vegas that we hadn't seen in years. Joey and Marilyn Peterson. Here we are riding in their helicopter. What fun going over the dam and the new highway bridge. It was a great time.

The "First Pitch" Arizona Diamondbacks July 11th,2009

On July 11th, 2009 I was asked to throw out the first pitch at an Arizona Diamondbacks game. It was ALS awareness night as Lou Gehrig was remembered for his battle with ALS seventy years ago. It was a humbling and honorable experience and one that my family and I will cherish forever.
Thank you to my family and friends for sharing this special moment with me. There was over 70 members of my family and friends in attendance.

I have fond memories of playing catch with my father in my back yard. This night was the 3rd anniversary of my fathers passing. I knew that he was there with me.
My grandson Jackson ran out to help his Grandpa with some last minute coaching, with his Mommy and little brother close behind.
One proud Grandma and Grandpa!
Families are forever. Thank you for your love and support!
My Mother and her five boys celebrating her 80th Birthday. Thanks Mom for being there. It was just like old times having you in the stands getting on the umpire while I was pitching.
