Getting our yard sale on....

Just as Morgan loves gymnastics, this lady loves being a part of Ben Towne Foundation Boise Chapter. It's introduced me to some great ladies, but mostly it just might be the most fantastic cause I can think of....

Every year my hood has a massive sale, last year we had one at the at the Hills with all of the proceeds going to Ben Towne Foundation, but since they moved out the neighborhood (sigh), we hosted it!

Ryan was conveniently on a golf weekend in Oregon while our house was literally taken over by stuff and yard salers. I'm not much of a yard saler, but boy is it an interesting experience!

It was almost like over night all of the stuff magically reproduced...

Carissa, me, Kate, Mercer, Langley and Kirstin. Such gems the whole group is. Excited for things ahead for the Boise Chapter!

1st Gymnastics Meet!

If you have seen Morgan in the past 6 months, most likely she is doing a round-off, upside down and doing some other contortion with her body that makes this old gal queasy. To say she loves gymnastics is a massive understatement. 

And all of her hard work is paying off! This fall she moved into League 2, which means regular meets. I thought her little body was going to explode, she was so giddy, excited and thrilled to be a part of this. Morgan has had an incredible year in so many ways and we are beyond proud of this little bunny.

A little pre-meet National Anthem...

And getting the final scores... She did so great and has a lot to be proud of!

The girls!

Grandma visits!

 We recently had Grandma in town and what FUN it was! I picked her up on the way home from a girl's weekend in Seattle and now I know where Morgan gets her chattiness, ha!

I hardly took any pictures, darn it. But I love the look on Dolly's and Morgan's faces. Really guys, am I that scary looking in my pj's and no shower? Wow.

Grandma got to be here for the end of the season celebrations! Ryan once again purchased trophies for the kids and suggested that instead of reimbursing him that parents make a donation to Ben Towne Foundation. 

Aidan loves, loves, loves trophies. The kid is constantly trying to get me to sign him up for more activities to get more trophies. Sorry dude, I've been unsuccessful in recruiting a sister-wife to help out with transport.

Morgan is having an end of the party to get her award, so why not show off your snack wrapper? I unfortunately didn't get many pictures of the "Purple Pancakes," but don't let their name fool you, they were tough. And silly. Because let's be honest, it's about having fun, right? So proud of these little stars!

Dragons, 2013!

I've figured out why I haven't been blogging!!! I haven't had anything to procrastinate lately. I took a small break from contract work and just couldn't bring myself to sit down and blog... I recently took a couple of cases and look at this!!

Ryan coached another successful season of the Dragons and what fun it was! They did an excellent job and I think they had a fantastic coach... And lucky for us, we have a wonderful professional photographer on the sidelines with us each week, capturing it all. Thank you Gina! www.simplyginamarie.com

These boys play their little hearts out!

Morgan calls this Aidan's "thinking tongue." It comes out a lot, always thinking, just like his old mom (kidding). 

But the best part is that they are excellent sports and such a nice group of kids...

This little guy is just too stinking cute. Not a game goes by that he isn't scrapping it on the ground!

The mighty Dragons and mighty they are!

Oh boy, my lazy parenting is caught. Not sure what is going on with the hair, oh that's right, I hadn't had it cut in a while.

This guy is getting so good, so proud of him....

These dudes have stolen my heart.

Aidan loves the trick shots. Is that what's that called? Probably not, I'm just the nerd on the sidelines.

We can't wait for next season!
