Baseball

The Richin's Family came to town to hang out for Brian's 30th b-day. All the kids really enjoyed playing baseball and playing outside.

KRAZY KIDS

Here is our little gymnasts. She is constantly doing cartwheels. Today in the grocery store, as she was about to do a cartwheel in the cereal aisle. I said NO cartwheels in a store. But we are happy that she loves it so much!!
One of a thousand hand stands she does every day. She is getting better for sure.
Blake is a silly boy, and this is quite a silly face.
Isn't he cute.
A wacko pirate. We even let him wear this outfit to the hardware store. ????

Newest Extended Family Member

Jordyn Joy Bowman
Jordyn was born on March 26th. We are so excited to see her again soon!!

Country Living

Apparently boys (Blake) love to pee outside.
I am not sure why he chose to pee in the only spot that our neighbors might happen to see but he did. If you look closely you can see their roof. I am not sure what we will do if we move into town. He loves peeing outside whenever he can.

We took the kids skiing at Crystal Mountain. They both did great and they loved it. Aly just recently asked when we could go skiing again. So happy to have a family activity we can all do together!
Aly's new wheel barrow and Brian's new truck in the background. I get to drive it. I can not park it. I have to park in the back rows at the grocery store and even then it is bad.
Aly's bday we took her friend Noelle to dinner. Blake loved her, we had to keep telling him to leave her alone.

Aly's breakfast of heart shaped toast!

Mt. Bachelor 2010

We all had so a great time at Bend, OR or (Ben's House, as Blake called it). There were 4 adults and 4 kids in a small condo. But it was a blast. Rachel and I were able to trade off watching the kids so that we were all able to ski. We even took the kids for a small test run at skiing. Brian and I were so excited they seemed to really like it. We thought we had a few more years till they could hit the slopes with us. We are planning to take the kids another time this year and we will see how that goes.
I didn't realize how much skiing has been apart of Brian and my life together. We have been to the Condo almost every year for over 10 years. We got engaged on the mountain, had ski passes in college, try to go at least once every year(wish we could go more but...) and it would be so fun to enjoy this with our kids.


Aly did not love putt putt golf???
They have a ghetto putt putt golf course, but it was perfect for our beginner kids.

The kids
Braidy and Brian on the chair lift to the summit. Conditions were amazing, usually the summit is closed due to high winds. But not this year!! Good times.
On the top of the mountain, just around the corner from where we had our engagement picture taken.

The cutest kids ever!! I love them all.

Blake and Carter were being weirdos, lying on the floor having a blast together.
Eating lunch!!
The park
I have a picture of Blake in this swing when he was actually a baby. He wanted to swing in the baby swing, at least he didn't fall off and bite his tongue like his sister did that day.
