Catching Up!

Well, the last few months have been filled with activity. The kids are both playing sports so our evenings are spent at practices and Saturdays with games. Kaylin is loving basketball and getting better and better. It's been really fun to see her passion for this sport grow...just like her dad. Blake seems to be a natural at baseball and deosn't seem to let his size hold him back, he's a little guy. He plays really well.





Blake celebrated his 6th Birthday on May 1st. I can't believe my boy is getting so big. We decided against having a big party and let him choose 1 friend to take to Bullwinkles. We had a great time and played late into the night.





Eric's mom came down on Sunday to surprise Blake with a huge bin of all Eric's lego's from when he was a kid. What a fun surprise! Uncle Kirk spent hours building with Blake.



I had a great Mother's Day celebrating with all the girls and kids in the family. We had a BBQ at my parents and the weather was perfect. All the kids love to be at Nana's exploring on their property. I am so thankful for my husband and kids that always make Mother's Day so special.






Hot/Sunny weekend in Portland means do anything and everything outside. On Saturday after the games we drove up the gorge to Multnomah Falls.









These pictures are a great reminder of why I love the NW!

On Sunday, my friend Christy and I took our kids to Cannon Beach for the day. It wasn't quite as sunny as we were hoping but warm enough to play in the water.











Sorry this is such a long post I really needed to get caught up. On the adoption front we will hopefully have news this week. I will keep you posted!

Brr . . . I have two aunts who live near Portland, and I always remember having numb feet from dipping in the ocean. :o) Gorgeous photos!

Love all the kid activity photos -- my 6-year-old just turned 7, so I'm with you on wondering where time goes . . .

Hope you hear news soon!
