Mariner's Game

The Mariner's are not off to a great season.....we are still fans! Cooper and his Ichiro jersey, Ivars for lunch and a great time at the game is a Mariner's classic for us.

At Liz's on Alki beach

Cooper just enjoying life!



Mom and Coop

Me and my best friend Lizzy

Liz and daughter Carley

Coope and Lil' C

Cooper is loving his time in Grandpa's grape vineyard (thanks nik)....on the tractor, which he is convinced he needs to learn to turn it on himself so he can go on whenever he wants.


Sandy has never been so happy, and full! Cooper loves Sandy and is always sneaking her treats...the poor dog would starve if it weren't for Cooper and Mikaela.

Eric's off to Japan!

We will miss Eric while he is on his mission to Sapporo Japan. He is such an awesome guy and we hope he has a great experience. We love you Eric.

It's Finally Spring....and Baseball!

Finally the weather was nice for a great day of baseball. I love watching the boys play. Chase got some hits and made a great play in Center field....he said he "robbed a homerun". Blake finished his first season of high school baseball. He did an awesome job pitching and is a great first baseman. Cooper can't wait to start coach pitch this year. He is a good sport running around to his brothers games all the time.

Happy 6th Birthday Cooper!

We love how Cooper gets so excited and relishes every holiday, celebration, or birthday. He is the one who wants the decorations out and up. He had his birthday planned since the day after his birthday last year. Cooper was the "hero" for the day and I went to his class to celebrate with him. We read his favorite book (There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly) and talked all about our little man. His teacher said she likes Cooper because he is always where he is supposed to be and when. He just figures it out and does his work instead of always nagging teacher......this is real people, Im not kidding! We always joke about the Coopster but I guess he takes care of business at school.

What I love about Cooper is how much he makes us laugh and see the real, important things in life. He has the craziest things to say. His mind in brutaly honest, open and confident. He is always thinking outside of the box. I miss being around him everytime Im not. Cooper just makes things better. Happy Birthday Son!

What we do for fun

The idea is to pick up the bag without using hands (knees/hands/bottom can't touch ground)

You rip off the part that you grabbed making it smaller each time

Some of us can't make our bodies do that

So, it's hilarious!

Easter 2010

This is Curtis's egg

Chase is 10!

Happy Birthday Chase! He sure is growing up to be the cutest, sweetest and funniest little dude. He goes with the flow and has a easygoing personality about him. He is always the one giving me hugs and kisses. I hope that never changes. He takes things with stride and doesn't put up a stink....the exception is with his brothers, anything goes. Chase takes good care of Coop before and after school and is his best buddy. He cares about the well being of all of us. I love him to pieces.

Curt and I took him on a date to his favorite place....Wingers!

The only thing he wanted was spicy wings and mudslide pie....shocker
