Mila the Tball Star!

* Mila's First Coach Pitch Hit! *

* Mila's 2nd Coach Pitch Hit With ONE Hand! *

* Mila The Catcher *

* Mila Running To 3rd *

* Mila Playing 3rd Base *

Mila just finished tball. It was a challenge but we made it! They start with 3 coach pitches and if you miss those you can hit from the tee. Mila was able to hit it from the coach 2 times. It was great:)

Photo Fun with Deyla Huss

Thank you thank you to Deyla! She took such great pictures of the kids. There are so many I don't know how to choose??? Here are 5 out of 100.

Scott's Wedding ~ April 2009

My mom was lucky and got a great picture of the kids at Scott's wedding. They looked beautiful!

Karaoke in Idaho Falls 2009

While in Idaho for Scott's wedding we were able to break away for a night and KARAOKE! It was great. We went with my brother Eric and his friends and our good friends Cari & Ryan. We sang, we laughed, we cried, we got emphysema from all of the cigarette smoke (Idaho is a little behind in their anti-smoking laws). Idahoans take karaoke very seriously. It was a night to remember!

Easter ~ April 2009

My brother Scott got married Easter weekend in Idaho, so we celebrated Easter Monday in Oregon. Mila, Ivan and Sydney had a great time decorating eggs and searching for them. Happy Easter!

Ivan The Babysitter

The kids were being really quiet...not good. So I went down the hall to check it out and found Ivan standing there. He was fully equipped with diaper bag and Baby Born in the front carrier. When I asked him what was going on he said "just babysitting again". Mila was "gone running errands" and I guess this is a common occurence for Uncle Ivan. It's tough being a little brother.

Before & After !!!

Unfortunately these pictures don't show all of the details of our "new" house. Keep in mind we haven't painted yet, but in person this is a totally different house. We have a new garage door & front door. We also put in new windows. The 2 front living room windows we turned into 1 big picture window. It is really a huge improvement. We also replaced all of the siding. It should look really great once we pick a color and paint it. We also hope to replace the roof sometime soon.
