Now that is a stove

This is our stove at the church!

And this is Gene making Cuban coffee! Pretty Sweet! (I made a funny) :D

of softball and soccer

We have always been a baseball, softball family. Gene would take turns coaching softball, baseball and t-ball.

That is one of my favorite team pictures. Check out that hair! And the signature open mouth of the Pensiero family.

Mary was all league in High School. (as evidenced by the white letter)

Then there was the time Geno won an optimistic club award in High School and the speaker was the 1990 Olympic Softball Gold Medalist!

That is until Kelly (check out her stats) came into our lives. Now there is the constant debate - softball vs soccer.

That's our Kelly, she was a sunbird of the year! (If you want to know what that means click here)

I still remember putting a rally monkey near the T.V. when the Angels were in the World Series.

(which in my opinion is way better than the tomahawk chop!)

Back to my post.

This years olympics were both sad and happy at the same time.
Happy because we won the silver in softball and the gold in soccer! (I know Kelly is so proud)

But sad because they decided softball is no longer an Olympic sport.

Who makes these decisions? Probably the same person who made this one...

synchronized diving, really?

Competition is good! Right?

Ever since they were little, they were competing at family camp. Usually with each other, but this past camp it was against each other.


Above Gene and Kelly are planning their strategy for the canoe race.

They decided on putting Gene in the middle....

John and Mary on the other hand decided to put Dad Gene in the middle!

Who won? Well, neither.

But the Mary, Dad and John boat got 3rd! Good job guys! (At least I have one ribbon at home, even if I didn't win it!) ;-)

Home, home on the range.....

Driving along Grangeville Blvd. today we saw this

Wait a minute...what is that? Buffalo? No way!




Actually they are Bison! Right here in our town! What more can I say?
