Celebrating Sofie

Sofie and Linz in 2010

 Sofie's super spectacular science slumber party!

In honor of her 8th Birthday!

Having an amazing teacher for a mom

is key when throwing

a super science themed party.

This was Lindsay's first slumber party.

She loved every minute!

Experiments and fun for hours!

Dinner with Friends

Eeva, Linz and Marina

 We are so happy Lindsay is 

playing volleyball!

Not only is it fun to watch her play,

it's a great opportunity

to spend time with friends.

A typical Friday night

finds us planning

dinner with our

fellow volleyball enthusiasts!

Making memories…

these are the best times!

Eeva, Linz, Marina and Kenz

 Kenz and Andria

 Silly Friends!

 One swell time!

Moms were present…

just not pictured!

Spring Break 14'

 It wouldn't be a break from school

without a trip to 

our favorite destination.

We lined up breakfast with 

the princesses.

Lindsay is almost 

to the point where

an event such as this

is too "babyish".

How can that be…

We never know which princesses

will attend the breakfast.

Thankfully, Aurora was present!

If Sleeping Beauty was the

only princess that showed,

Kendal would have been just fine with that!

She most definitely is the crowd pleaser!

We tried the Radiator Springs Racer ride,

such a long line fun!

It was a great (hot 94 degree) day!

Dodger Game/Fear of Heights/Snacks

The girls enjoyed their first Dodger Game.

Our seats were…very, very, very, high!

Mike's good friend bought 

a block of 30 seats…

in the nose bleed area…

I had vertigo at first…

that's a bad sign…

It was an amazingly beautiful day though!

We had many friends surrounding us...

The girls had fun…

and ate many all of the Dodger snacks

that were offered…

Oh, and we were treated to

a Robin Thick mini concert 

before the game!

Take us out to the ball game...

Some of the crew...

Sweet and Six

 Our sweet girl

turned six Sunday.

She brings joy to everyone.

A loyal sister.

A sincere friend.

A loving daughter.

A grateful granddaughter.

She has an infectious spirit

that those around her

recognize and adore.

She continues to see only

the bright side of things,

finding fun in everything she does.

We admire her sweet disposition and

try to channel her endless 

energy in a positive way…

which isn't difficult

at all.

We are so blessed by this

six year old…

She's all LOVE!

Kendal Celebrates with Ava

 Kendal had an exciting birthday outing, 

she was able to spend time with her Bestest Friend Ava!

The two girls long for each other

in the sweetest, most genuine way.

They have known one another since birth.

Kendal and Ava do not see much

of each other since they live 

an hour apart and attend

different schools.

They reunite and always pick up

right from where they left off,

in true friend fashion.

Kendal said seeing Ava

was the best birthday gift ever!

Goofy's Kitchen and Build-A-Bear

were a close second and third.
