The baseball ballerina girl!






Just got to Portland, and we got to meet my sister at her daughters baseball game. It was a good place to stop first! The kids needed to run...we made the drive in record time...but that is only because I told Dan.."we don't stop unless the kids tell us they need to go tot bathroom" hard to believe that none of the 3 said a word about going to the bathroom until we got into Portland! Sweet!

a relaxing play day


Today was a really nice day and the kids played a ton outside while I enjoyed nice cool spring weather. I am trying to absorb as much neutral weather as I can before summer hits and I hang with the AC. I love this picture of the girls! Those are their tulips they planted behind them. And this picture of Spencer and Averie kills me. Spence better watch out....before too long Averie will be right up there with him.

play day




last Friday our church had a family movie night put on by our Children's Pastors! The movie started at 7, but we met Dan at work and then went and played at the park by the church for awhile and then took the kids to a little mexican restaurant. good pay time, good food and a great movie. Charlotte's Web. Maddie invited her best friend from school and they had a blast!

wiped out!


Spencer kills me. This morning when he woke up he told us that he needed to have his cinnamon toast crunch cereal so that he would have power for his soccer game. Well I guess he was right! He ran his tail off going after every loose ball, scored two goals..and we also had to have a little discussion that you can't steal the ball from your own payers! what a nut! anyway, I had no idea that he changed out of his soccer uniform and never took his shin guards off. Later that night I told him to get ready for bed and the next thing I found when I went to check on him...no pajamas...no brushed teeth...just passed out. I really like the one sock thing he has going on as well!

good friends




This is our friend Steve and his son. Steve is part of the worship team at our church and his son was joining in for the practice session. Looks like he will be following his dad's lead! This is also a picture of the proud Grandma, who happens to be a close friend to our family as well. Steve's parents, Bill and Sue have become like family to us and our kids absolutely adore spending time with them.

The kids had a blast dying eggs this year with Grandma and Great Grandma! They did a really good job!

Spring Soccer in full swing



Spencers first game of this season was awesome! He did a really great job. Ran hard and even took one in the chest. As you can see here.

Sophia turns 5



Sophia turned 5 on April 3. We had her birthday party this last weekend and since spring finally came we decided to move the party outside.
