Spring Yard

I always love taking pics of the yard after I've planted the flowers!  Gracie's birthday coming up is a good deadline, sometime after Mother's Day...

Hikes, Sprinklers, and Corn on the Cob

We got our spring groove on today:

Colin and Linnea Came to Visit!!!

Zach graduated from Whitworth this weekend, so Colin and Linnea flew in from LA for a few days!  We loved having them (mostly!) to ourselves, as everyone was busy with graduation festivities.

Decorating the cap is a big deal, you know...

And of course, these two offered to steal the kids for an evening to give Jeff and I a date night, so bikes at the college was the first part...

I don't remember what was so funny, but when we're with C and L, we're always laughing.

They were totally into Grace's HP party.  They went to the mall to get her a shirt (to replace the one from Amazon that was wrong) and got all sorts of HP things for her gift.  She was in HP heaven!

And when they left, we were sad.  Love these two.

May Days

Debbie's birthday BACK IN SPOKANE!!!  Cassie and I took her to Kendall Yards for Veracci pizza and the first Kendall Yards Market of the season.

She Built a Boat

Grace's science project this spring was to "build the most buoyant boat."  She had the pool noodle idea and Daddy was happy to turn on the skill saw with her.  The sail was a last minute add-on...Daddy and Gracie set out for G'ma Colleen's AT BEDTIME to seal the project deal.  I think they were home by 10pm, but it may as well count as Grace's first all-nighter.  

Planting Potatoes

We're trying spuds for the first time this year!  Can't wait to see how they do...

Mother's Day

Pumas 2016-17

Josh had another great season with his team!  This year was their first in IEYSA, and we loved having the boys stay together.  Coaches got them trophies on the last game!

Micah wanted his own picture taken after the team picture.  I think it's their best to date.
