lincoln city 2013

We just got back from another great trip to the Oregon Coast!  We go every year with our good friends from college!  The families have a blast together!  Another wonderful year is in the books...such great memories we are making!  

My lack of pictures this trip is embarrassing!  

 The view from the house!

 The kids...Gizmo loved the beach!

 Family shot!

 They had an awesome, cheap liquor store...so we stocked up!  We are so getting this Coug cup!

Ang and I...wish I saw her more often! 

our little gymnast...

Brindley had her end of the year gymnastic show today!  We got to see her perform on all 6 events, plus a little tumbling routine!  She thrives at gymnastics, it was so fun to see her confidence shine today!

flag football!!!

Colden decided to try flag football this year! Actually he begged to try flag football!  He has shown major interest in just watching football (mostly Cougs) and really wanted to try it...I will only let him do flag!  ; )  

He has had a blast this spring!  We are coming to an end.  The Cougs have had a winning season of 3-2...and came in 3rd.  

Unfortunately they lost today, so play offs are over...but we do get to play once more for the official 3rd place.  

So proud of our boy, who has grown to love this sport, gives his all and has the best sportsmanship!  

 Getting ready for a play!

 Thumbs up!

 He's down!

 Why not sun bathe?

 I actually got a wave!

 The girls watching their big bros!

 Getting ready for the play!

 A little celebration for the getting the flag!

BFF's again!

dance recital

Brindley had her dance recital yesterday as well!  

She tapped to "Singing in the Rain!"  It was super cute with an umbrella and all!  It was a longer number than usual and she rocked it!  So proud of our little dancer!

another end to a baseball...

We had our last game yesterday as the Giants!  We had a great season with tons of growth and confidence!  Brian coached again this year and loved it!  We our proud of our little baseball player...he has learned a lot about the game and has had tremendous growth as a player!  

 Playing Catcher!

 Up to bat...

 Team photo op!

 BFF's!

Coach Daddy handing Colden his trophy, cookie, and baseball!

My baby girl is 6!

How did that happen?  Brindley is 6 years old!  

I'm beyond proud of my little girl!  She's grown so much in the last year, it's so fun to watch!  She's gaining confidence, loves life, her friends, family, gymnastics and school!  

She opted not to have a big birthday party, so we had a special lunch with friends and then a Red Robin dinner with family!  Low key and just right, plus the sun was shining!  

Happy 6th birthday B!  

 Decorating in the midst of construction isn't so fun.  

 Homemade chocolate, chocolate cupcakes at Brindley's request!

Celebration with friends after lunch at the park!

 Yup, Colden was sick on this day, but he rallied for his sister!  Proud of this boy!

Me and my mini-me!  

 Opening gifts with the fam!

 A new closet for her American Doll clothes!

 Goof ball!

 6!!!

I hope all your wishes come true!
