Brit Takes First Place!

Pictured here are the medalists from the Bainbridge Island Diving Club who competed in the annual spring diving competition at the Bainbridge Aquatic Center.    The Pacific Northwest Diving Club also competed in this event (see the picture with all the medalists).    Brit took first place in the Girls 1-Meter Springboard Competition for the 11-13 year Group!  I'll try to post a video of one of her dives.

THE ANNUAL EGG HUNT!

 

 

What a glorious Easter day this year!   It was about 70 degrees and clear blue skies.  The kids spent about 3 hours looking for eggs.  They came in and had dinner and then spent another 2 hours looking for more eggs :-)    Then, this morning they all got up and looked for the remaining 25 eggs that were still out there.....and finally found them all.   It's always sooooo much fun!

Driver's License! Finally!

Mike, ready to go for his first solo spin!

Indiana Jones Is Soooooo 5 Minutes Ago!

Hallowen and Birthday Mayhem!

Here are the official PICS from Halloween. Dan was Indiana Jones. Brit wanted to be a donut, so we were up late getting a costume ready on Sunday night (Oct. 30th). It's amazing what you can accomplish with some fabric, foam, and a hot glue gun (no sewing required!).

You all know the birthday drill at our house this time of year. We have birthdays three Saturdays in a row, beginning with Dan on Saturday, Oct 22nd, then Mike on Saturday, Oct 29th, then Brit on Saturday, Nov 5th (her actual birthday was on the 7th). It's sugar overload...with Halloween too!

Great Pic From Last May!

I've meant to post this PIC all summer, but....... you know how summer is. So, here are the cousins in all their glory! Beck brought her people here in May so I could look after them while she attended a conference in Washington D.C. (while Jason was in Afghanistan). One of you needs to move to the Seattle area because we need cousins nearby!
