Colbi turns 6!

Colbi had a small birthday party with her best friend Lennon, we got them matching pajamas, played cards, watched a movie and attempted a sleepover (but had to take Lennon home at 9 that night). It was still fun. We had a small celebration on her actual birthday just the 6 of us.

Colbi's 1st volleyball camp

 After waiting almost 6 years and watching her brothers play all the sports it was finally her turn. She was so so so excited about this volleyball camp and I almost didn't send her to it but then DiDi came through and offered to pay for the camp for her birthday present.  I am so glad she got to go because she LOVED it! I think it helped that her best friend Lennon was there too.   She had a great time and learned so much and then she came home and taught all of us including her brothers everything. I am so impressed how well she listened, she remembered everything! I think she is really ready for kinder this year. 

Lennon, Colbi and Hayden.  Future members of Blue Devil volleyball!

Pemberton family wedding - Mt. Hood Oregon

We took a quick trip to Mt. Hood for a family wedding and all the Pemberton family was their. It was a beautiful setting for a wedding and a great day to spend time outside and catching up with family. The cousins all had a great time running everywhere and playing.  It is always good to be with family. 

16 years!

 We celebrated 16 years of marriage today. Though we look like we got all dressed up this picture is from a wedding a couple days later. On our actual anniversary Dave had an ER shift all day and by the time he got home we ended up going out for a hike/run and then ending the night with drinks downtown (sweaty and smelly but it was still really fun). Anyone who has been married for any length of time knows that it is never easy and always work but it is also fun and exciting too. We have been in what feels like a hard season for quite a few years now but I know that the love we have for each other and the hard work we are putting in will be worth it.

What we looked like on our actual anniversary.
