Video of Delwin playing soccer.



Last season he scored 41 GOALS, So he was the leading scorer of the season. So you can only imagine how proud Erick is.

Delwin Loses His First Tooth


On Monday we decided to help liberate Delwin's loose tooth. This was Delwin's first baby tooth to come out. It was about time since he is already 61/2 and most of his friends have already lost at least one tooth. Also, we noticed that the permanent tooth has already broken through the gums behind the baby tooth. Erick sort of panicked, thinking that the new tooth was going to be all messed up. Hopefully, he is worried for nothing. Anyway, we think he has a very cute smile and even though it was more painful than it usually is, since we had to yank it out, I think he is excited about losing his first tooth.

Swimming at Grandma's





One of the main reasons we moved out to Oregon was so we could spend more time with family and that is what we are doing. We all went swimming at the indoor swimming pool down the street from Grandma's house. Delwin and Kathy had a blast playing in the waves and going down the water slide while Marko splashed around under the water mushroom. Luckily Aunt Leslie was there to help me out so I was able to relax in the hot tub. Ahhh I love my family.

Hang'n Out In Utah





We had a great time visiting with family in Utah on our trip out to Oregon. We were able to go with Aunt Lana to a dinosaur museum at point of the Mt. The boys had a blast with their cousin Gavin. They went digging for dinosaur bones, built their own dinosaurs, watched a 3D prehistoric movie and built rivers to destroy their miniature cities. We will definitely be going back the next time we visit Utah.

Fun at the beach!




One thing we have to admit that we miss about South Carolina is the warm beach weather. However, that didn't stop us from heading off to the coast to enjoy a not so cold day at the beach. We bundled ourselves up and headed out with my twin cousins Sarah and Stephanie and their families.

Big Move




Some of you may not know it but we recently packed ourselves up and moved to Oregon. I left with the kids at the end of January and drove cross country with my mom. We ran into some icy conditions in Wyoming but other than that it was an uneventful trip. We were able to make a stop over in Utah and visit with my brother and sister and their families. Despite all the long days of driving and cold weather we had a pretty good time. We have been semi settled in Oregon for about two months now and Erick has finally made it safely here. We are enjoying hanging out with all of the cousins, aunts, grandparents etc. We are also extremely grateful for the kindness and generosity of my cousins Sarah and Stephanie, who have taken us in and made it possible for us to make this gigantic move to be closer to my family. We will keep everyone updated on the whole job/home issue. Hopefully we will have some good news to report soon.
