SNOWBALL!!

We had such a wonderful experience this weekend. We went to Yakima for snowball. This is a baseball tournament that is obviously covered in snow. It was such a memorable time. Everyone had a ton to drink and I even ended up playing in the tournament even though it was all men. We lost (Uh...got creamed) but had more fun than any other team. We had the saying...MVP drinks for free. The MVP was the first person to touch home plate. Good times. (For the record...only two people touched home...IN THREE BASEBALL GAMES.)
One of the best things about this weekend was that my girlfriends from college came out. Brenda and Carrie live over in Yakima area and Becky lives in Seattle but happened to be over for a visit...how random is that? This is four of our fab five...pretty amazing. It brought a tear to my eye because Brenda and I almost brawled with a chick in the bar. It reminded me of college...we lived together and ALWAYS had each others back.
This is my uncle Rich, brother Chad, and cousin Cory. It was about 10 a.m. and I think that they were still drunk from the night before. :-)
This is a pic of my cousin, Cory and I. He is Malia's godfather and one of my best friends. His nickname is Doozer from when we were kids but he lets me get away with calling him that still. My brother created an elaborate lie that we were all celebrating Cory's new company called Doozer's Dozers. I think it was supposed to be construction. The plan was for the family to come together to get Cory a lady for the night. He was the only single person in our group (out of about 20 people!). The ironic part is that Cory is not looking for the one night fling...he wants a lasting relationship. He is an amazing guy and I know God has good things in store for him! We are only 4 months apart and the babies of the cousins (there are nine cousins...within about 10 years!)

Here is a pic of Quallsie, myself, and my brother. We had such a great time together...it was an experience I won't soon forget. Only about 360 days until the next snowball tourney!!!!
