Beach Trip 2010

Here are some pics of our annual family beach trip to Lincoln City! We all had a blast!!!

See you all again soon!

We're leaving for the airport in just a few short hours. This vacation has been much so fun! Swimming, Circus Circus, Vegas strip at night (for Sasha and I), her yummy cooking, games of Hand & Foot (We beat Sasha & Troy :), not to mention the relaxing time we had just hanging out in their new home! The Gillian's made us feel so welcome. 

 

Enjoying their brand new pool!

Las Vegas!

We arrived Thursday afternoon for a visit with sister and her family, meeting us there was Grandma & Grandpa L*, Dad & Robin. We're having a blast! It's so nice to be in the sun! When we left Portland it was in the low 60's! It finally feels like we're starting our summer vacation!

Sash and Troy's house is amazing! Big with plenty of room for the kids the reek havoc (which they are), amazing decorating, and have I mentioned their beautiful pool! Unfortunately the pool JUST got finished a couple of days ago, and the plaster has not quite hardened. It's a no go till Monday :( But that's ok, we've been using the pool just down the road at the hotel/casino dad and the grandparents are staying. When it comes to swimming these kids are all over it. Even Samuel! He doesn't know that he can't swim, and keeps protesting when I glide him through the water. He is fearless! Sam's favorite thing to do at the pool is stand on the edge & 1,2,3 JUMP! Down under the water he goes, I pull him up for air with a big smile on his face.

Here are some pics, I'll post more when we return home on Monday. An all too short vacation, but I'll take it!

Grandma N* 102yrs old!

Just a week after Samuel had his 2nd birthday, Grandma N* had her 102nd birthday! How amazing is that! Pictured here is Grandma getting birthday wishes from Sam. Samuel and Grandma have a very special relationship. He's drawn to her at every family gathering. He'll pet her hand or arm and say; "luv you, grandma." It's the sweetest thing I've ever seen. Grandma's face lights up every time he talks to her! Happy Birthday, Grandma. My God bless you all of the days of your life!

Spring Soccer 2010

We sure had a great season. We missed Maddy however. She really wanted to play on the same team as her brother and cousins. But her shyness overcame that desire, and she refused to play. Considering we had no subs, our players really stepped up a notch.
