Sterling is 14 and much, much, much more.

Bodie being a character after Hunter's play.

Giving his brother a "that was awsome hug."

Hunter in his play. It is fun to see him try this avenue.

Sterling is 14!
The cake was chocolate fudge with vanilla ice cream in the middle and chocolate butter frosting on top. She wanted half coconut and half plain for those who do not like coconut. It was delicious. Does not look like anything special but my triplet cousins would have been proud.

Sterling and Grandpa and Grandma Wintrode.

Sterling with her long awaited Ipod.

Grandma Wintrode gave her an article for her birthday. It was an article on Taylor Swift as this was grandma and grandpa's gift to her, Taylor Swift concert tickets. She had a blast. Watch out Grandma Fly, Grandma Wintrode is trying to take over the article deliveries.

My beautiful Sterling.

In Spokane, Washington at parade 2. After the parade we went to the park for a few minutes and played, or watched the ducks.

And rode the carousel.

Yes, that is even me. How rare, a picture of me.


Feeding the goat with the cousins, actually this looks like they are going for a ride. A favorite tradition for all the kids.

Sterling and her tuba.

Hunter and his trumpet. He is the 4th one in. I do not think he is doing band next year but kudos to him for trying it. He really wants to play the drums but this music teacher has different rules when it comes to the percussion section. Too bad though because he is good.
Parade 1 in The Dalles, Oregon. It was a chilly one. Looks like Bodie is on a sugar high.
Sterling at her final track meet for Sandstone Middle School. She did long jump, turbo javeline, and shot put which was her favorite.
At the track meet, another cold one. The things we go through for our kids. Gotta love em.

I love when you update the blog! If for no one else for ME because I am the one always missing out on all the fun stuff you guys do!! First off what play was Hunter in? Happy bday to Sterling, she looks beautiful in those pictures! You look great Bryn on that carousel with the kids! I miss the lilac parades, it is a fun experience. I am sure Hunter will be grateful for the experience later in life if not now. I can't believe how big Amree, Brittin and Bodie are getting. They already have changed a ton just since November! I can't wait to see you guys, I am counting down the days!!! Hallie is going to LOVE her cousins and aunts and uncles, she loves attention from other people besides Mitch and me! Love you lots! By the way I also like the revamp of the blog@

The play was a conglomeration of Shakespere plays. The revamp was a bordem vamp. It doesn't quite go with the house but I ran out of time.
