Harrison playing tee-ball

This spring Harrison started playing tee-ball for South Valley Little League here in Cottage Grove. He's turning out to be one of the best players on the team and really likes it! He'll play games all the way though the end of the school year which is early June. Dad gets to be out on the field every game as 3rd base coach! Grandma Nell came to visit over Easter and got to see Harrison's second game of the season. Enjoy the pictures!

Lincoln City 10k

The Lincoln City 10k was the first of many races Beau plans this year. He set a goal of sub 50 minutes and beat that by almost 2 minutes, averaging 7:50 per mile for the 6.2 mile race. The fastest Beau has run that distance since taking up the sport three years ago! The course was a bit hilly but overall a great time. This was the 3rd annual Lincoln City 10k with over 400 runners taking part in the event! Harrison was the big winner getting Daddy's race medal! We hope you all had a great weekend, take care and look forward to seeing everyone soon.

Lincoln City trip

We drove up to Lincoln City this weekend for Beau's 10k race. We were lucky enough to get a hotel right on the beach with a baloney and awesome view. Harrison had run flying his new airplane kite. After hanging out on the beach we ate dinner at one of our favorite spots in town, Kyllo's. Later on Daddy and Harrison took in some hot tub and pool action. After a long day of vacationing back to the room for some R&R. :) The weather couldnt have been any better, mid 50's no rain or wind and plenty of sunshine!

Devils Punch Bowl

We stopped at the Devils Punch bowl on our way to Lincoln City this weekend. It's a bowl shaped rock formation that has be carved out over hundreds of years by the incoming tide. What a great place, we'll definitely be back to spend more time there!

Happy Birthday Yvonne!

We had a great time for Yvonne's birthday. Ate cake at the house before heading to Eugene for Red Lobster, then a little shopping this weekend at the Lincoln City outlet mall. Happy Birthday!

New pictures of the Yates boys!

We went this evening and got pictures of the boys, hope you enjoy!

First coast trip of '11

We hadnt been to the coast since before Thanksgiving when Grandma Nell came to visit so we decided to jump in the car last Saturday and make the trip. It was overcast but mild, around 50 degrees with little wind which is rare for the coast at anytime. We stopped in Winchester Bay and walked down on the docks getting a close up view of the crabbing boats there. We then drove south to Coos Bay for lunch then headed out to the beach. This beach access was new for us, the area had a board walk and viewing point which was great. The surf was bigger then we had seen especially last summer. We spent some time flying Harrison's kite and walked up and down the beach. It was a great day! We will for sure come back to this spot as it's easy to access the beach from the parking area. We hope everyone had a great weekend, take care!

Bowling

A few weekends ago we got out for some bowling action! Beau with the great bowling form! Harrison has has some good practice after playing Nintendo Wii sports!
