Blue's Camp Trip April '09

We decided to take a weekend camp trip to the Blue Mountains with the boys. They, of course, loved every minute of it. We caught some huge trout at the pond near our camp, hiked, took drives looking for animals, and enjoyed the campfire. Fun memories for the kids!

Drew had to get proof.

The fish!

Pasco Ladies & Lonestar!

The Pasco ladies decided to leave the kiddos with dads for the night and head to Wenatchee for a Lonestar concert. My mom, grandma, aunts, and many friends were also at the concert. Soooooo fun! We were taken back to our high school days oh so easily. We were front row and standing with our elbows on stage throughout the concert. Lots of laughing made for a relaxing mini vacation!

Easter 2009

After Easter Mass, we joined the Vincent family for brunch, kite flying, and another baseball game (I think Gavin's birthday got us started on this for awhile). We had a great day just relaxing with family and, of course, eating way too much!!!

Happy 5th Birthday, Gavin!!!!!

Gavin turned the big "5" on April 5th and to celebrate, we had a hot dog bbq outside with friends and family. The kids played and played in the sunshine (at least 70 degrees), smacked a pinata around, and ate plenty of treats. We finished up the party with a semi-organized* game of baseball, which Gavin thought was very cool! What a great day to celebrate our sweet boy who is growing up so quickly. Happy Birthday to our big boy, Gavin.
