Alayna's New Costume

Tammy, Chris and the girls came down to Portland this weekend and brought a few gifts for Cade's and Alayna's birthdays. One of Alayna's gifts was this fabulous bee costume that she immediately put on and has been running all over the yard "buzzing".

At The Ballpark

Cade loves baseball! He's already shown us that he doesn't care that he's only 2 years old! He wants to play ball!
Of course, we did get some video of Gavin, too!

Alayna in Sprinkler & Gavin Gets A Hit

Gavin's T-ball Game

Yesterday was a beautiful day for a t-ball game. Sunny and high 60s.....of course most of the kids were more interested in playing on the playground than actually playing the game. Gavin is doing great with his batting. He actually got one hit yesterday without using the tee.....of course, I was distracted at that moment and missed it on camera, but I did get a few clips of him hitting and running.

Gymstars Day at Imagination Station

Alayna's preschool, Gymstars, had a special event today at Imagination Station. Below are some videos of the tumbling demonstration. We also brought a picnic lunch and played at the playground afterwards. The weather was perfect for this fun event!

More Videos

The first one is us trying to get a nice picture of the four kids....as you can see, its an impossible task!

Trip to Michigan

Its been a busy couple of months. Not only are there all the added events with Christmas (shopping, family gatherings) but working in retail makes it all the crazier! Then, to top it off, we planned a vacation to Michigan to visit family. We flew out two days after Christmas, which meant last minute packing as we wrapped up Christmas with Chad's family in Puyallup. I am very excited to now have a Kodak EasyShare camera so that I can share videos as well as pictures now! Here's my first video from our trip. I hope to post more once I figure out what I'm doing!

Halloween 2009

This year we once again spent Halloween with Melissa, Maddy and Karis Zollner. Cade fell asleep on the car trip over, so he is noticably absent from our beginning pictures. This is the group before we headed out to trick-or-treat.

Heading out in the wagon!

Here's our sleeping lion cub!

Home again, checkin' out the stash!

Cade did wake up enough to hit the last 5 or 6 houses. Here he is enjoying a sucker!

We finally got a pic at the end of the night with the whole crew!
