| Gabe on a Preschool field trip to OMSI |
 |
| OMSI - Kevin, Kylah, Nikki, Gabe, and Sophia |
 |
| Gramma and Auntie Carolyn tried hard to get a "normal" picture with the grandkids. It's a little harder than you would think. |
 |
| Gabe and I shooting some hoops in the garage. Really, I'm just amazed at how clean our garage was at the time! |
 |
| Sunday night Qwirkle time! |
 |
| And Gabe pins Zach for the win! |
 |
| Zach twisted his ankle at basketball practice one day and was hobbling around the house and complaining about it while Nicholas kept calling him a big baby. Well, a friend snapped this picture and sent it to me saying she was touched by Nicholas' big-brotherly love of helping Zach get to the bus stop. Awww, they can be nice to each other sometimes! |
 |
| Gabe and I play Uno EVERY DAY. Crazy enough, he usually beats me! But now I finally have a hand where I might win! And I did! |
 |
| Spring Break camping at Thousand Trails campsite in Pacific City, OR. It was really fun to go with several other families: Nissinens, Longs, McKibbens, and Brauns. |
 |
| Playing football on the beach |
 |
| Pacific City is known for their sand dunes. This is looking up from the bottom of a HUGE sandy hill! It was a killer to climb but the view was amazing! |
 |
| At the top of the hill. |
 |
