Annabelle turns 7!

Hard to believe- Annabelle is seven, and starting second grade in just a few days. My, how time flies! We had a party at the local Gymnastics place with her friends. Annabelle and my good friend Ellen share a birthday, so we got to spend the evening with Ellen and her family, and a lot of friends. Annabelle kept saying over and over how great her day was! Ellen's favorite treat is cotton candy, so they rented a cotton candy machine. The kids thought that was excellent!

Paradise 2010

We spent a few days in Spokane/Pullman before heading to Priest Lake for a week. We had a week of fabulous food, weather, sunsets and family.

Photo Shoot

My friend Leslie is an amazing photographer, and did a photo shoot with the kids and I at the beach for Ryan for Father's Day. Here is just a sampling!

Cheer Camp

Annabelle attended cheer camp again for the second year in a row. She had so much fun and met some fun girls. Here is the video of the routine she worked on all week. She is wearing a white tanktop and pink capris.

Dance, Jack!

Jack saw this on tv, apparently. It is followed by his Transformer's Dance...Enjoy.

I found out today that the dance was in fact a rendition of what he saw on a boxing preview- he said "see mom, those guys take their shirts off and do this" (proceeds to punch the air...)Awesome.&

Hoopfest and Spokane

The kids and I spent a week in Spokane while Ryan was fishing. We got to enjoy 8, yes 8 games of Uncle Eric's at Hoopfest. We had a blast! We got to spend some extra time with the Barratt family before they moved to Connecticut. We had a great week. Pictures of our trip to the Oregon Coast will follow this post.

Merry-go-round!


Fun at the splash pad!

Horsfall Visit

We spent a wonderful week with Ryan's Parents and my niece and nephew! We spent part of it at the Oregon Coast then a few days exploring around our house. Great fun was had by all. The gang hit the road home this morning, for a long ride home to Iowa. The house is quiet- we miss them already! Lots of pictures to follow...
