Visit to Georgia

David, Jonathan and Jacob took a trip to Georgia to see family after David's graduation. Angel and Kia drove to Kirtland AFB to unpack boxes and set up their new home. The first picture is of all the Mansberger Men! David, his dad and his brother Mike are in the back row. The second picture is of Uncle Mike, Jonathan, Kellie, Jacob, and Aunt Dorann. They had a great trip that included fishing and going to an Atlanta Braves game.

David Graduates from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor!

We celebrated David's graduation from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor on Saturday, August 9th. David completed his AFIT assignment at Fort Hood with a masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. We were thankful that our friends, Tom and Marian Brinley flew out to Texas to be part of David's graduation day. Thank you, Tom and Marian! We love you!

Dallas Trip

After Jonathan's tournament was over, we spent a few days in Dallas visiting our friends, Barry and Melanie Johnson. Barry was in Dallas beginning his training with Southwest Airlines. We went to a Texas Rangers game and the Dallas Zoo. It was a sweltering week in Dallas with temperatures over 105 degrees every day.

Jonathan Plays in the Texas State Baseball Tournament

The Thunder made a great effort in the Texas State Baseball Tournament. Although they didn't win, they experienced an amazing comeback victory in their second game. The team rallied from a 12-5 deficit to win the game 12-13 in the last inning! It was a victory no one there will soon forget.

Jacob's District Tournament

Jacob's team participated in the Senior Midget Competitive League District Tournament. Jacob pitched and played shortstop and second base. He had some great hits, but it wasn't enough for victory. It was a fun season for the Red Wings.

Jacob's Team Party

Jacob's team ended the regular season with a pool party at one of the player's houses.

Angel made the party cake that featured a scoreboard highlighting the team's record of 11-1.
