Lincoln's Coach Pitch

Lincoln played coach pitch this year, instead of t-ball. He had a rough time at first actually hitting the ball, but by the end of the season he usually didn't strike out :) His cousin Kyler was on his team, again, and they had some great coaches. He's still not super into any sports, but he seems to enjoy them, so I'm sure he'll play again next year. Good job stud muffin!

Dino Tri Pics

Chris (Dave's bro, obviously) and Dave
right before heading out for the tri.

The boys on the bus ride up to the lake.

It was the first time either of them
had done a triathlon.
And they both did the olympic version?!

Most of the fan club waiting patiently
to catch of glimpse of our running boys.
L-R: Janna (Dave's sister), Lucy, Me, Lincoln,
Amelia (Janna's daughter), Gpa John (Dave's Dad),
Michael (Janna's son), Matthew (Janna's son),
and Grant.

Chris coming in for his final lap.

Chris with his awesome time!

Chris decided to wear his medal backwards.

They put the participants age on their left calf.

Dave coming out of the lake.

Dave making his final lap (with a little help).

Dave did it! Also with an awesome time.

Seriously, look at his arms?!
"As you see I've got biceps to spare..."

He's a great helper with her.

Dave, Janna, John, and Chris.
We had A LOT of Gale family support.
It was incredible and so nice to spend time with them.

The Dave Gale Family :)



Chris made these awesome shirts for all of us.
The kids loved them and we got asked by a lot
of people where we bought them :)



Grant T-Ball pt II

These pictures were taken during Grant's last game. 
He ended up really enjoying tball, but his attention span didn't get much better :)

I think we'll have him play tball again next year, and then the year after that see if he's ready for coach pitch.  Great job beanie wienie!

Father's Day 2012

The boys made Dave breakfast in bed.
By themselves.
Eggos (with sugar free syrup,
overly ripe banana,
and ice-cream.



Grant's Father's Day letter from primary.



Lincoln's Father's Day letter from primary.

The boys brought up their own ice-cream to eat with Dad.
Unfortunately, this is the only pic I have of it.

Lucy and Daddy doing a crazy dance.
Again, the only pic I have of them.

Linc & Grunt making a small fortune
at our yard sale. 
Linc has his Gpa Troy's genes
and is a natural salesman.
When he's not being a vampire.



Making homemade donuts.
Lincoln's fav: maple
Grant's fav: sugar

Sneaking treats on the back porch after breakfast.

Lots of time in the pool.

And the sprinkler.



But mostly just pool for the wee miss.

Linc

The boys playing some type of imagination game.
In undies.
And BK crowns.

Yes, I let them play in the backyard almost naked.
At least they had on undies.

Linc has gotten really good at riding his bike and LOVES to go riding with Dave.

Angry Bird utility belt.
We don't get dressed a lot around here.

This girl LOVES sauce.
Ketchup.
Ranch.
Pizza sauce?
Doesn't matter.  If she can dip it, she'll eat it.
