Our Big Boy

One of our favorite activities is playing on the floor. Sadie always tries to steal the stuffed toys and various balls from us. Casey is a mover and into EVERYTHING! He is able to spin around on his tummy and scoot backwards. He rolls everywhere, and is really getting ready to crawl. Just this weekend he started to get his knees under him in a true crawling stance. Today he is not only getting to the position but is now rocking back and forth! Our little boy is not so little anymore! Here are some pictures from during our floor play. Notice the sock...a favorite "teething" toy.

Happy Birthday Great Grandma Joan

We helped my Grandma Joan celebrate her 80th birthday this weekend. My dad's siblings all came together to be with Grandma. We celebrated by going to Big Al's and bowling, everyone had a great time, especially Grandma!

Dip...Dive...Dodge

Last Saturday the OHSU Dental School hosted a Dodge Ball Tournament. Mike joined a team and was told that they were going to dress up. So Mike put together an outfit and even cut his hair into a mullet. However, when we got there none of his team had dressed up! The joke was on Mike. The played a round robin tournament and unfortunately Mike's team didn't win. However, Mike did win a gift card to Jamba Juice for best costume!

The winning team.

 Ready...set...DODGE BALL!

My Gym Girls

Here is a picture of the CRHS Gymnastics Team! They really are great girls, hard workers, good students, and the 3rd best team in Washington State!! When we stick...We stick together!!

 

We didn't compete until 6pm on Friday February 18th. So in order to get the girls up and moving so they don't laze around all day, we put together a scavenger hunt at the Tacoma Mall. Grandma and Grandpa Stanley came to State to help with Casey while I had coaching responsibilities. Daddy came up for the meet after he was done with school on Friday. There was a child play area at the mall. Casey really enjoyed playing but really enjoyed watching the other children play.

 

 

 

GV Black Ball

This year OHSU Dental School held a prom. It was the first time Mike and I had been out on a date since Casey was born. He spent the evening at Grandma and Grandpa Stanley's while Mike and I enjoyed an evening of dancing and chatting with friends. It also was fun to get all dressed up! I somehow was able to squeeze into a dress I wore for Winter Dance in high school!

 Happy Family!

 The table center places were triturators (yeah...whatever that is), and the tables were sprinkled with x-ray confetti.

GO SAINTS!

Ty loves the Saints. He came over to visit one night. He and Casey had a lot of fun with Ty's Saints hat.
