Happy Fathers Day!

We spent the day at the park with good BBQ, telling stories and having our first annual Father's Day Kickball game. Im so thankful to be able to spend this day with my dad and family.

My boys have the best daddy ever! Really, I know everyone sais that and Im sure that's just as true to them. But, Curtis is always putting the boys first, before everything else. Everything he does has the boys interest at heart. He has coached every one of their teams from t-ball to high school basketball and dedicated his efforts to helping them become the wonderful boys they are. They will all be good daddy's some day because of the time, dedication and love they get from theirs.


All my siblings...except Kevin! It's so hard to get us all together. Justin, Kristen/Mark, Dad/Debbie, Ami, Aaron/Heather, Connie, me/ Curt. We have so much fun together and Im always laughing....mostly "at"


Dad's are special people...aren't they? I would not have the confidence, strength, security or sense of humor I have now without my dad. I always know that I have his support in whatever I do. Im so proud of my dad, who he is and what he has taught me by just being a part in my life, as well as my boys. I truly feel like he's my biggest fan (I am his favorite, he tells me all the time!) I love you so much Dad!


Ami, Me and Kristen....My Sisters who are my best friends!


Aren't Blake and Bailey the cutest! So much fun to be around!

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!
