Walking With Dinosaurs







Today we took a trip up to Spokane to see Walking With Dinosaurs. It was awesome! The boys loved it! They growled with the dinosaurs and cheered them on during the fights. We had a great time and were glad Mason and Kellie came with us.

Spring Break and Easter













We spent spring break in Vancouver this year. My sister Melanie also visited with her family. The kids had a ball. We went to the movies, played lots of games, spent the day at OMSI and sang for the elderly at Cortney's work. It rained almost the entire time but we got outside for a quick swim in Grandpa's hot tub and a family walk. Cortney is graduating from Nursing school next month so we had an early pinning party for her. We also made an anniversary gift my parent's 37th year of marriage with the whole family's hand prints.

We spent Easter in Vancouver with my family again. We dyed eggs with all the cousins, took pictures with all nine cousins, visited the Easter bunny at the mall, hunted for Easter eggs and had a big family lunch.

Strider Bikes






We really wanted to get the twins bikes for a birthday present, but didn't shop in time and hadn't yet agreed on what bike to get. So we ordered Strider bikes for a late birthday gift and Tytan couldn't be left out, so he got one too. They have loved them so far! We can't wait to get them outside, go away rain!

Jaxon thrilled with his throw and muddy Madox in the background.

More muddy Madox. He licked each rock before throwing it in and he's not sick yet.

Almost the whole crew, Jeremy and Mathis, Shane, Layla, Madox, Mary Jean and Jaxon.

Shane had the day off for President's Day we took a trip to Palouse Falls with our friends the Inmans. We ate a picnic lunch, hiked to the falls, walked over the railroad tracks, hiked down to a few rapids and finished off the day with a snack overlooking the huge falls. The kids loved walking on the tracks and throwing rocks in the water. It had been raining, but we lucked out and had beautiful sunshine.

Silly boys



Early in the morning the boys found my shoes and Shane's hat and were playing dress up. Jaxon had fun walking in my heels and Madox loved wearing Shane's hat while playing the annoying recorder.

Family Movie Night


We built a fort in the living room and watched Meet the Robinsons for a family movie night. The kids loved the gummy candies we got for treats. Shane and I sure felt old because sitting on the floor for an entire movie was not comfortable, the floor was so hard, even with bean bags and pillows.
