Kid's and Toddler's Track and Field 2010

For the second summer in a row, my family attended the local Kids and Toddler's track & field events. They are getting bigger, so the competition is getting tougher and faster, but everyone certainly seems to enjoy themselves. Pictures can be found here.

JT's Birthday Party

These kids just don't stop growing up, do they? Now that the kids are all old enough that we are attending the same birthday parties annually, it is nice to look back at previous year's pictures and see how far all of these wonderful little people have come in three hundred sixty five short days. Amazing really.

Here are the pictures from JT's birthday, June 27, 2010. Aside from being a great kid, his party was also attended by a group of great kids. I love this group of friends... kind, funny, sweet, and charming.

Happy Birthday, JT. Your pictures are right here.

Peanut's Gymnastics Exhibition

This little girl just makes me more and more proud every day. Saying that I love her is a huge understatement. Here is her gymnastics exhibition from this summer.

Addy's Second Birthday Party

Slip slidin' away! Addison had a huge waterslide and a hot summer day playing in tandem for a recipe that spelled f-u-n for all of the kids at her second birthday party. These kids didn't want to get off of the slide (except maybe to take a dip in the pool). Pictures can be seen here.

Aaron's Birthday Party

These kids are getting so big, so fast that it is truly amazing. Here are pictures from Aaron's birthday this summer, and these little men are turning out to be something amazing. They are a pleasure to be with, and a pleasure to talk to. They are truly gentlemen in the footsteps of their father.

Pictures can be found here.

Ana's Birthday

This was a fabulous get-together. Ana's Mom and Dad are wonderful people and fantastic hosts. Everyone enjoyed some tasty food from the grill thanks to Chris' talents. There was a lot of splashing and diving in the pool, and an long line of happy children's faces accompanied by laughter. I really like this group, the community that makes up Emily's class. Any time spent with them is a pleasure.

Thanks most of all to Vicki and Chris for inviting us. Pictures can be found here.

Peanut's 4th Birthday

Long overdue. That's all I can say about these pictures. Now that the holiday photo shoots are all delivered to everyone, I get to start concentrating on the backlog of personal pictures taken throughout 2010. There are a lot of them. It is going to be fun to get to relive those memories again as I work my way through the thousands of photos I've taken since this summer. No one event stands out more in my memory than the birthday party for our beautiful 4 year old daughter. For family that has been waiting on these, I am truly sorry these took so long, and I hope to catch up over the winter.

The images are here.

Pot Luck Dinner

May 23, 2010.  Emily's classmates and their families gathered for a wonderful combination of great company, wonderful children, perfect weather, and delicious food.  This is a truly fantastic group of children.  Images can be found here.
