8 going on....

...18! That is definitely how I feel somedays! But she's as sassy as she is sweet and as stubborn as she is kind! A beautiful friend to others and as thoughtful as they come! Happy birthday my dearest Makenna!

Soccer

I don't play soccer but this girl is a natural! She seriously impresses me with her talent and drive! Now only if the other 8 year olds were as equally as excited to be there! Lol

These cute girls are another entertaining piece to soccer games...

Football 2013

Honestly have to start somewhere! So football it is! Boys played an amazing season. Ben played linebacker and defensive end. His team struggled...a lot! But I sure love watching him play! And the integrity in which he plays with! Brayden played QB and linebacker. His team made it to the semi finals but lost in a nail bitter against Olympus by 6 at the 2 yard line....bummer! Loved watching him lead his team with encouragement and great enthusiasm! 

Braydens double digits!

Braydens big 1-0! These pictures pretty much sum up my boy. I cherish his love for life and family. His humor makes our home and hearts fill with laughter and joy. He is what joy truly is and what a gift that is to me!
His birthday party was a 'man vs wild' theme. Which involved a mock plane crash, survival gear, making a fire, & cooking their own food over the camp fire. A couple things learned...boys like fire in kind of a creepy way & ferns don't help with stinging nettle!

A natural....

Makenna truly was a natural at her gymnastics camp! Something that we will definitely be seeing again in her future!

Date night

A trip to Birch Bay with my sweet boy proved to be another one of those moments that Im just reminded how incredibly blessed I am. He is truly a gift to me and adds to my life in such a deep way. I treasure these quiet moments alone with my kids. Little did I know this trip would be my last trip to one of my favorite spots in Washington

We love Tonya!

What can I say? Tonya has saved my life when it comes to a life with twins. Shes helped rally me in so many areas that I truly don't know where to start. Thank you for loving me and my family like you do friend!
