 Kathleen loves playing catcher with her softball team:

 Brandon loves to pitch with his baseball team:

Cody is playing baseball too, but I don't have a picture of that yet.  But he's cute too.  Take my word for it.

This year so far...

It has occurred to me that I have not updated since December.  We decided to go to Spokane to visit family the week after Christmas.  When we went to the store to buy stuff for the trip, Valentine's candy was already out...in December...yeah.

 We love cousins!

 Ryan and I installed a microwave for my parents.

 Me and my dad (don't be fooled by the fake hair).

 Ryan got a guitar for Christmas:

 The first few years living here we never even owned a snow shovel.  But this year, I was glad we did.  It has snowed quite a bit.

 Oh, and Kathleen got a guitar too. 

Ryan took me on a hot date. 

 Here are the crazy girls I spend time with (emphasis on crazy):

Ryan bought me these flowers...for no reason!  I know! 

And this is what sexy looks like: 

 For random fun one night we went to RC Willey.  The kids found themselves some new beds.

 Kathleen started basketball:

 Cody tucked in all his stuffed animals and took great care to make sure they each had their own Pokemon card.
