Blast from my past!

My high school volleyball team (34-0) got inducted into the Hall of Fame on June 3rd, 2010. It was a sold out crowd of over 900 people and around 35 inductees most alot older then us, but still really neat. I did not get a picture of all the girls from the team who attended, bummer, but we had a good turn out. It was fun to see them, most I had not seen since high school. We had a really fun team and our coach was even more fun. Every game we won at state he let us paint one of his fingernails. Before the state championship game he let us paint the remaining fingers. I wish I had a picture of what they looked like, each one was uniquely painted by a girl.

Dori, Valerie, Coach Reopelle, Holly, and me

Rachelle and I are the second generation of State Champions & Hall of Fame inductees in our family. My dad's State Champion Basketball team was inducted last year. Lacey got close in volleyball and Haden close in football to winning state championships, what a fun run of high school sports. Dori was our amazing setter. This is her mom, dad, husband, and little 6 month old girl. Rachelle we missed you terribly we wish you could have been there. It wasn't the same without you. Dori has three kids and lives in Seattle, so I still get to see her!

This picture is for KG and my UW fan friends. Lorenzo Romar was the guest speaker. For those of you not from washington he is the University of Washington Huskies head boys basketball coach. He was a great speaker!

A month full of Blessings

We were able to make a family trip down to So Cal to visit the Brueggeman's. We knew the kids all were a little sick with runny noses but come to find out everyone had ear infections. Yep, all of them, well except Trenton. We still had tons of fun but next trip hopefully we will all be well.

Daddy and Trent

Our friend Kathy gave Brooklyn this cute swimsuit and this is what she did with it.

Trent has had a very eventful first three weeks of life to say the least. He has already had a trip in an ambulance, been to Mary Bridge Children's Hospital, had his first IV, first stiches, and lots of shots, not to mention more to come because his newborn screening came back positive for something Brooklyn came back positive for but never really had. So he will have some more tests run, but praying he doesn't have it. This is his really cute Crayola band aid at the spot of his IV. He is a trooper. We Praise the Lord for an amazing Childrens Hospital so close to home. They took such tender care of him.

So Sleepy

Never goodbye, but see you later!

It is official Anthon, Lacey, Hailey, and Tessa have moved to So. Cal. I never thought the day would actually come, but it has. So with great sadness, yet great joy for the adventure God has set before them, we bid them a see you later! I will miss Hailey and Brooklyn laughing at each other through the windows, running up and down the driveway with their strollers, eating together, hugging, pushing and everything else.

With Great Joy we Announce Trenton James Whittington

Smack dab in the middle of our little town of Puyallup boasts the 6th largest state fair in the U.S. The annual state fair is in September, but the Spring Fair is held in April. Lacey, Becky(Anthon's mom), Hailey, Tessa, Brooklyn and I decided to go on Friday due to the wonderful warm weather and a chance to get out and go see the animals and festivities of the fair. That is when it all started... the dreaded yet welcomed CONTRACTIONS! Less than 24 hours later...Trenton!!! Trenton was born on Saturday, April 17th, at 2:47pm. Coming one week before his due date; he weighed 7lbs 6ounces, 20 1/2" long.

I posted these pictures backwards, don't know how to fix it so we will start with the end of day 2. Relaxing at Home.

Brooklyn is quite interested and taken by her new baby brother. She likes to touch him, hug him, and check out all his features. Nose, eyes, mouth, cheecks, belly button(she is not quite sure about it yet) and on and on.

Daddy and Trent getting ready to go home.

You can't see it but my Aunt Karla made Trent this cute onesie that says "Child of God" on it. He wore it home or at least was going to until he barfed all over it.

Sweet baby boy!
