Skydiving & Football

Are you ready for some football?

Saturday the Wellington Skyrockets scrimmaged at Hale Center. Jack, number 72, is a freshman this year and is on the Jr Varsity. They played really good. We are looking forward to a great year.

Grandaddy's Birthday 2009

This year we celebrated granddaddy’s birthday at Kyle and Tricia's house. Everyone had fun on the trampoline. I think the name of the game was to see how high they could bounce Craig.

Yep, Craig is an Odom, he likes to play with fire.
