Beavor Lake Family Reunion

We headed out to Beaver Lake for Colby's Dad's side Family reunion.

Elle checked out the shuffle board this year...

...and showed she is already game for Boca Raton!

Elle challenged Grandma and Grandpa S to a game.

Colby with his cousin's Sarah, Erik, and Ondia. 

Just like the picture we took back in 2009 after Elle was born.

Jeffrey's 1st Birthday

Jeffrey's 1st birthday was a spectacular circus event!  The cake was amazing!!

Jeffrey was so cute with his cupcake!

I got to hold little Emma and Elle was quite the little helper! I think she was preparing for being a big sister!

Sophie, Ceci, and Gia were there so they had a ton of fun playing together under the table of all places :)

Megan did a wonderful job with tons of circus games!  Elle got into the action with the ducky pond!

Sporting her first tat!

Group shot of all the children that were at the party.

Father's Day Mariner Game

Since we attended a Ms game for Mother's day it only seemed appropriate to attend one for Father's day!  Colby's Uncle Randy and Aunt Shelley gave us tickets to the Ms for Christmas.  They also gave Ken and Sydnie the same thing so we could all go together.



As you can see the season seats are really close

Dustin Ackley was called up the night before so this was his first time at bat in the big show!  It was awesome to see the fans go crazy and cheer for him!  My pregnant hormones got the best of me and I teared up thinking of how proud his family must be!

Root sports reporter in our section!  Chatting it up with fans.

The moose even stopped by for a visit!

Only group shot we got.  I was trying to protect the chin from the double look since the camera was inches from my face :)

Showing the score after the 7th inning stretch!

It was a great night for M's fans!!

Mother's Day Baseball

This year for Mother's day, Colby's Uncle Randy was able to get the family a suite at the Mariner's game.  Colby's grandparents were original season ticket holders and Uncle Randy and his friends have continued renewing each season and as a result Randy was able to pick one game to use a suite for free!  YEAH for us!!



This year meeting the Moose was way less painful for all parties!  Elle didn't have the choke hold/death grip going!

Cheese!

Stare off!

Colby's Mom side of the family.  Happy Mother's day!

Thanksgiving

We hosted Thanksgiving for Colby's side of the family this year.  Of course we for got to take pictures until after dinner. 



Great Grandma Sheets and Aunt Wendy hanging out in the kitchen.

Uncle Donny and Aunt Wendy snuggling!

Group hug!

Thanksgiving was a complete success other then the lack of pictures!  I wish I would have taken a before and after shot of the table.  I also bought to go packaging for everyone to take leftovers in. 

Halloween

It was so nice that Halloween fall on a weekend as we were able to get in some great Trick or Treating!

Elle the cow visited with Great Grandma S.

Knock Knock...

Trick or treat Grandma and Grandpa S.

Our house was ready for the ghost and goblins to appear!

 

Colby did an awesome Frankenstein!

My Ghost was a scaredy cat!

Elle hanging out in her Mrs. Bones pjs.

They did glow in the dark!  Hee hee!

Choo Choo Noah's 2!

Noah had a Thomas The Train birthday party! 



Elle and Colby took the train for a tour of the room.

Poppi, look at me!  I am a conductor!!

I hear a Choo Choo coming!

Visiting with Gigi and Baby Gavin.

Lordy, Lordy, looks who forty!

We headed over to Spokane for my brother's 40th birthday party!  I have been terrible lately remembering to take pictures, not sure if it is because I am running after Miss busy body or because I really want a new camera :)  So I had to steal a few pictures for this blog from others!!

My sister-in-law Tracie, Marc with their children Olivia in the front, Marcus, and Emma (with her dolly)  Ceci and Sophie had a great time playing with their cousins!



On Friday night Poppi, Raymond, Marc, Colby, and Wes deep fried!  Turkey, sweet potato fries, and french fries.  Seriously they were looking around to see what else could be spiced up in the fryer!  Dang, I have to say anything fried is AWESOME!!

Poppi carrying the turkey in to be carved! 

August 14th is also my sister Tracy's birthday but she only turned 36!  Yes, same day but 4 years apart.  So to recount:  Marc- brother who turned 40 married to Tracie, Tracy- sister who turned 36 born on the same day as brother.  Crazy easy to remember names and birthday!! I do feel a little left out not being born on August 14th but I usually got a present on their birthday when I was younger as everyone felt bad for me :) hee hee, probably what added to my quirkiness that everyday was a great day to celebrate my birthday until I was 26 or so!

Enjoying watching the boys work!

Actual party pic stolen from Tracie's blog.  Thank you Tracie :)  We had a wonderful trip to Spokane and can't wait to go back next month for some Eagle football!!
