They don't know it yet, but they're future husband and wife Kees and Ashley ;-) 

Dancin' with Ashley Chapa at a Round Rock Express game in her dad Mario's box... thanks Mario and Earlene! 

Kees' batting practice... 

Permanent honor roll... go Kiersten! 

Permanent honor roll... good work, Kees! 

Boys, and Game-Boys... I guess if it gets really intense the helmets will come in handy ;-) 

Kees riding the climb everyone else walks! (An interesting fact: he's riding Willow Koerber's bike, wearing a jersey we got from her, shorts from Jimena Florit and Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski's helmet... yet it all looks like it was made for him!)

And there it is... although we can't stop or get close to it (at least that's what all the warning signs say). 

George something-or-another has a ranch near here doesn't he? 

Kiersten in the "Culture Day" parade at school, dressed in authentic Volendamse Kleed (Volendam Costume) from Volendam, Holland... this is the real stuff, hand made out of wool, cotton and lace by little old ladies in the ancient seaport town of Volendam on the Zuider Zee.
