Soccer!!

Soccer is finally over!!! Thank goodness....just as it was getting too cold to bear!! Troy did a great job coaching Marley. Marley started out a little slow, but by the end of the season she was wanting to play a lot more. She even made a couple of goals the last game. She is a great runner and is a bit more of an athlete than her older sister!

As you can see she was tired and sat down as everyone else kept playing.

Was more interested in having us take pictures of her while she was playing.

Good job Coach!

Christmas in October!

We went up to Sun Valley over the break with Troy for some work stuff. We had a great time. We woke up to SNOW!!!! The girls were soo excited. It seriously felt like it was December!! Lucky we brought some coats!
This was before the snow storm!! Went on some bike rides

This was by Avery!

I hate getting my picture taken when I am pregnant...but here you go...I am a lot bigger now!

Labor Day!

We went camping with some good friends during over the holiday. The girls had a blast getting out of town and playing. We forget that it is nice to just get out!

1st day of school for Avery and myself!! She 1st grade...me 10th year of highschool!

Fair!

Avery is such a little diva. She is a fashionista to say the least. She is very much into hats right now. She wore a fedora to her school open house. I was soo proud :)

It was soo fun having the Troy's parents from Canada come up and visit. We always enjoy them and it is soo fun for the girls to get spoiled by them.

Princess Camp

I thought this was the funniest picture. I came into the kitchen and there she was on the floor sleeping....of course with the thumb and the blankie.

Princess Marley marley got to go princess dance camp this summer....she is still talking about it. They learned dances and made crafts.....she loved it!

Oregon Coast

We love going to the beach!! We had a wonderful time at the Oregon Coast!
Avery and Troy braving the cold ocean

Did not like the sand at first....but got used to it!

Great beach bon fire and roasting marshmallow...couldn't get better than that!

Only way she likes to roll....on dad's shoulders!

Oregon Coast

The seals loved us...they kept splashing as we fed them fish heads....gross!!

Oregon Coast

We had an amazing family trip too the Oregon Coast this summer. My parents and brother and sister-in- law joined us with little Mazzi. It was fun to get away and just enjoy eachother. The weather was pretty nice and the girls LOVED the ocean and picking up shells and just hanging out on the beach!

Go Grizzlies!!

Yes...i wonder where they get it from, but Avery and Marley love to cheer and dance!! I think it is in there blood or when they were in my tummy listening to loud music. This was at the Grizzly Cub Clinic..the girls had a blast learning and performing dances and cheers!!

In Position!

BEAR DOWN!!

Sucking her thumb in the middle of performing!

What little cuties!

Kinder Graduation!

Avery has made it...she graduated from kindergarten. She is the class of 2020...how crazy is that!!! I still cannot believe that we are parents of a school aged kid. We have definitely had to change the way we do things around here. We have gotten into a schedule of homework, chores, and of course a little fun :) She is a very good student and loves math and science. She has always been very interested in facts. Thank goodness she has her dad to teach her random things about the world. They get on the computer and look up information...sooo sweet to see!!

She does have hair under there!!!

Like father like daughter!

Tooth Fairy!!

Avery finally lost her 1st tooth...it actually was growing in behing here baby tooth which was a little crazy. We kept calling her shark!!! She was soo excited to finally have the tooth fairy come.

Marley is 3

Wow!!! How time flies.....Marley is now the age Avery was when she was born. Avery seemed soo much bigger!! Marley is still my baby....and I treat her like one a little too often...she is a snuggler and always comes up with ways to make us laugh. She has this charisma about her that cannot be taught!! She knows if she is in trouble she can just say "I love you mama" and I am done being mad. She has a temper that I have never seen. She is stubborn...and that is going to kick our rears in the future. I love this little girl and our family is blessed to have her!

Soo Sweet and Naughty!

Thank you Grandma for the cake!

Two peas in a pod...

Flower Girls

My brother Andrew got married in May. The girls were soo excited to get dresses and be a part of the wedding.

Classic beauty!

Always trying to be funny!!

This was right before the big rain storm!

It rained all day! But Andrew and Jessica looked gorgeous. Everyone had to have umberella's for the photo's.

Easter Egg Hunt!

I am soo mad at our neighborhood. I have done the Easter egg hunt for the past 4 years, and I was not able to do it this year with everything going on. Well......i would of done it if no one else did! It was such a pain to try and find one. We decided to go this Community one. They had bounce houses and it was pretty fun. There were a ton of kids there. Marley's age was fun because those kids still do not know what to do. By the time they got to Avery's age those kids are rearing to go! Avery got bounced around and the eggs were gone in less that a minute. This is the face of a little girl that only got 4 eggs. She was soo mad!
Ready to go!

Fun in the bounce house!

This is before the egg hunt..everyone is happy :)

Marley loves that tongue!

Avery at Gateway

We loved the gateway Center (see below)..Avery loved being the cowgirl. She was planting and taking her harvest to the store. She also loved being the mailman and taking the letters to the different parts of the city. She also loved playing with the boys (which scares me). I am finding that she is a bit of a flirt......hmmmm. Taking the kids for a drive!
She was able to be a newscaster and see herself on TV.

Planting her garden

Fill er up!

My little flirt!
