Christian Turns 15!

Happy Birthday dearest Christian! I actually cannot believe we have known you for 15 years. What a privilege it is to be your parents!!! The day was filled with strawberry Nutella crepes, school (with some Oreos and quesadillas for lunch), a ride to and from school, after-school organizing of gifts, a couple more gift drop offs from Amy and Henry, soccer practice and I showed up at the end to deliver homemade cookies and Powerade. Spaghetti dinner and BR strawberry cake. :)


Christian got asked to a dance (Sadies) for TC Prep from an old schoolmate from CK

Goodbye party for Dr. Wilde aka the guy who took out all the wisdom teeth at the clinic

Pass kit I picked up, neither of the boys seemed interested so I started dying them myself and then Olin joined in


Morning of birthday!!!

So many thoughtful gifts from friends. This was from Derrek.

This clay rendition of the cash register is so good and so funny! From Annie

Soccer, Dams, Birthday Party


He got a start a couple of times! There is a nice grandpa, grandpa Mark, who takes good photos of all the games, which is why I have so many to post. I either need to get a mom from Olin's team to start taking good photos or I need to learn how to do it. 



McNary Dam field trip!



Trying some new photo settings

15th Bday of bowling and Stick + Stone

White Pass with Cousins

2nd annual cousins' White Pass trip. This time we stayed in teeny tiny Village Inn (Didi asked "how many bedrooms are there?" and I said "there are one bedroom". hahaha) This was spring skiing at its finest. It was sooooo warm. We all stripped down to no jacket by the second day. It was glorious!


Mal got in to UW! Whipped these up to bring to White Pass to celebrate

A loss to Hermiston at Hermiston but C thought he played better!





Luxury means bringing our own air mattress








Mini Mart next door was fun

We both celluma'd

This hot tub was hoppin
