Spring in Ellensburg

Easter at our house. My brother Ryan, my cousin Renee, my mom LaVerne, and me.

My mom and I, Ryan sneaking in the picture.

Nate in his pitching debut.

What a sweet swing!

Tia in the Cinderella ballet.

What a character! He always makes us laugh.

I love this picture!

Nate turns a Decade

Nate turned 10 on January 10. I can't believe ten years has gone by already! I'm sad that he's already half way done living at our house...

Friends from Nate's AAU team came over for some Rock Band after they all went to see "Mall Cop". Zander (drums), David Picha (waving with guitar), Major (guitar), Nate, and Jacob Sparling had a fun afternoon that started with Rock Band and progressed to a big wrestling match on the ottoman! Thankfully no one ended up crying!

Mario had to show his skills for the boys.

Pizza dinner before we all headed to the CWU basketball game! Go WILDCATS!

Tia Turns 8!

Mario and Nate took Tia and two of her friends to see Marley and Me and then to ice cream at Winegar's for her 8th birthday. After the movie, I got a text from Mario saying "we have 3 sobbing girls and 1 boy!" Now, I'm not jumping to conclusions or anything (I always try to give the benefit of the doubt), but Nate is a pretty tough kid, so I can only guess who the "1 boy" was...
After the movie, it was all smiles on Winegar's comfy chairs.

PLEASE...don't take our picture!!!!!

Tia got some wishing bears from Grandma Margot and Aunt Mitos.

My dad gave Tia his "T" belt buckle with an inscription on the back. It was something special that Papa Tom could give to Tia.
