Check Out These Spooks

Hello All,

I hope you all have had a great Fall and fun Halloween!  Plenty of "Spooky" stuff here in VA.  Last Saturday we all went to the neighborhood clubhouse for a Halloween party.  Kids played games, had mummy wrapping contest, and ate lots of candy.  Afterwords, we all went to a costume party at a neighbors house.   Lots of fun seeing how the adults would dress up!  Cynthia even convinced me to dress up.  Below are some pictures.  Hope you enjoy the spooks!

Daddy's little green faced spook!

The Biggest Spook of All!





Indian Guides Weekend!

Big Weekend for the Hart Wildcat Bunch!  Cynthia and Ann Claire had girls weekend painting nails and fixing hair.  They also celebrated Ann Claire's birthday with all of her friends at Bounce U place.  She had several friends from school and all had a great time.
Ann Claire also got to open her presents from Mi Mi and Pj, Nanny and Pa Paw, and aunts, uncles and cousins back home.  She really loved them all!  She got a music box, glass princess, cheetah pj's, hair bows and other clothes. 
Me and the boys were asked by some of the neighborhood friends to join the Indian guides last Spring.  This was our second camp out and it was great!  Indian guides is a program through the YMCA that is based on father and son spending quality time together.  We pitched a tent, cooked out, shot bow and arrow, shot rifles, road a zip line, climbed the Alpine Tower, used our knife to cut sticks and played in the fire.
Jimmy had ball games on Saturday and did great.  He was two for two and caught a ball at third.
Bobby had two ball games on Sunday.  He had a double and two singles en route to a 3 for five day.  He also had about 6 or 7 put outs at second base.

Annie and her presents.  She loves everything!

Bobby and his double to the fence.

Happy B-Day Annie!

Jimmy on the Zip Line at Indian Guides.  Zip line was great!  Bobby and I went on it too.  I was afraid to jump off the platform.  The boys climbed the Alpine Tower.  Takes lots of upper body strength, they loved it.

Kasey Playing with the cousins.  She has got Bobby and Jimmy into running cross country. 

Back in Buisness

Hello All,

Sorry for not posting in such a long time.  I just got back from my Canada hunting trip on Tuesday and Mom, Dad, Nancy, Tim, and Kasey arrived on Wednesday.  Great Time in Canada!  Could only get better if the boys could go with me to hunt together.  It would be great if Cynthia and Annie could join me also ( I think they would love Saskatchewan.)

Had a great time with all the family here.  Tim and Nancy took Jimmy and Kasey to the Petersburg battle field and visited Henricus Park.  They rest of us spent most of our time at the ball park watching Bobby's ball games. 
Team did OK but could have won more games it not for some costly errors.  Bobby Hit lead off and did his job well on Saturday reaching base safely 7 of 9 times. 

Jimmy was inspired by Kasey and has started to run.  Ran from home to Cosby high school and back (4 miles) in 26:31.  Not bad, I walked half the way.

I will post more soon.  Had some trouble with the video.

Me and the boys are camping this weekend.  Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.  We love and miss you all.  Thanks for all you do and have a great week!

Jimmy and another nice hit!

Annie and her pink ball cap!  She is going to be six soon.

Just a few of what we went to get...  this morn we shot a limit of malards and pintails with a few specs to boot.

Kasey, doin the sit and spin.   All the kids loved being around Kasey.  She has got Jimmy into running.

Celebrated Ann Claire's B-Day with family.  She loves the music box, money, pajama's and dress that she got.

They always like the green stuff.

Mom and Dad brought me a UK Sweatshirt and Three very nice dress shirts, they will be great for work!

Bobby and the rest of the Titans.

Mighty Jimmy at the bat!

Hey, just wanted to share fall ball video from Saturday.  So far James, the boy formerly know as Jimmy, is 4 for his first 6 at bats.  This one he drove in two runs.

WildCat Bunch first blog

Hello Family and Friends!  I have decided to do a family blog to help family and friends keep up with this "WildCat Bunch" from back home.  I will try to post recent pictures and video so everyone can log on and see what is going on with this crazy bunch of Kentucky folk. 
All is well here in Virginia.  It really is difficult to believe that we have now been Virginians for over a year. The kids just completed their second week of school and everyone seems to have adjusted to the new schedule fine.  Ann Claire really likes kindergarten, Jimmy says school is boring (but I think he just doesn't want to admit how much he likes it), and Bobby is running for 6th grade class president.  Cynthia has fourteen preschool kids and once again comes home with funny stories from the classroom for me to tell my friends.  We spent the past Saturday and Sunday at the ball park watching Jimmy and Bobby play baseball.  Both boys teams won one and lost one. 
We hope everyone is doing great and want you to know that we love you and miss you!  God Bless and best regards,
Frank



This is an older picture but but being Virginians thought I should include.  Unfortunately it looks as if all three have came in as federalist.  (Did not get that from their dad!)

Jimmy and friends Ryan and Brice.

Jay is playing Fall ball.  This made dad really happy! :)  He has played four games and is 4 for 6 with only one strike out.  He is really doing good and having lots of fun.

Cool hand Bobby in his CBC All star hat cheering on brother Jimmy at his first Fall ball game.

Bobby in his nifty new Tuckahoe Titan uniform.  Big Bob's new travel team.  Had first games this past Sunday.  Reached Base 3 of 4 times and scored twice played all innings at second base and did a nice job.  Put outs no errors.

My Girl Annie!  This is also an older picture but too cute not to show how good Virginia Beach looks with her there.
