More Birthday...the BOYS invade...

Josh didn't want to leave anyone out...so he invited all the boys in his class to his birthday party after school.  After the party Jeff and I came to two realizations: 1) three hours is TOO LONG for a birthday party and 2) Mrs. Cong is a SAINT!  Holy cow!  So much energy!  I had to ask boys not to hang off of our deck balcony!  Eeek.  Apparently Josh was the calm one?!?!  Who knew...

Super fun year having BROOKLYN in my class!  She is a gem!

Josh's EPIC Birthday Weekend

Well the best part of the weekend:  Colin and Linnea surprised the kids!  They're on their way to NYC...and after packing up their existence in LA, they made a pitstop to stay with their Spokane family for 4-5 days.  It was AMAZING.


 All of the surprise wore Jeff right out!


 We took some time on Saturday to go to the new Art Scrap place--awesome mural!--and then on to Hello, Sugar for...

 ...March Madness BIRTHDAY Donuts!

 Cheers!

 We decided to do a Selkirk Birthday/March Madness Party for Josh.  So fun to have L and C with us, too!

 Lemon bars for his birthday dessert this year!



 Later that weekend we went downtown...recognize Boo Radley's?


 Waffy's first SNOW!!!

 While downtown, Grace went to Lauren's party at Polkadot Pottery.







L and C and Waffy helped me with yardwork--the first pineneedles/pinecone pickup of the season!



 Colin and Micah taking Waffy for a walk.


 For Kai's birthday, we met them at Olive Garden!  Kai had a rough spring, but it was nice to be able to celebrate with him on this night that he perked up.

We love this boy!  We love how he loves to help...is quite the host...doesn't bat an eye tackling some physical labor project with his dad...drummer extraordinaire...Happy 9th Birthday, Kai Boom!












 Olaf Waffles on his actual birthday...in honor of Kaitlyn!


 Happy 9th birthday, Buddy.

And then, all too soon, we had to say goodbye.  But what a sweet treat in our dreary spring!

The kids were SO EXCITED to walk Waffy to school with them!

Just a normal Friday night...until...

 Pizza on a Friday night before Joshy's birthday...a present sent home with us from G'ma Dianne (fingerless gloves and ALL of Joshy's favorite snacks!)...and then the doorbell rang...

March {snowpacked} Madness

 Boyd and Micah LOVE baby Leah at preschool! 

 See that sign?  The one that says, Welcome SPRING?

 Micah couldn't take it any more--shorts, snow boots, and soccer in the backyard.  Slow down on the ice patches!

Surprise CDA Getaway

 These sweet friends took me away overnight for my 40th birthday!  We escaped to CDA, stayed up WAY too late chatting, ate delicious junk food, and was introduced to Rockstar Jeans at Old Navy.  What a fun time. Thanks, Julie and Heidi!
