Easter

The kids looked so cute this morning I had to take some shots. The trees at church are so beautiful now!

Happy Easter!

Saturday

We had a fun sunny day yesterday, a water fight, Easter egg hunt and dinner with friends.

Game

Big Russ and I Got to enjoy going to the Blazers game on Friday night. We had awesome seats thanks to the Nike basketball season tickets. We had fun showing the kids that we were on TV when we got home.

Multnomah Falls

Friday we hiked up to multnomah falls with the kids. When we got to the top we ate our lunch by the river, so peaceful up there. On the way down jenna had a wipeout and got a big (trying not to be too graphic) OWIE on her knee! She was brave and didn't even cry. It was still a good day.

Beach

Thursday we went to the beach with Heidi and the kids. Turned out to be a pretty nice day! Kids go drenched, not sure how they can stand it since the water is so dang cold! The tide kept coming in and we had to move our spot a couple times. Another good day!

Spring Break

We went to the zoo Wednesday, it was good and busy but not too busy. Believe it or not it was russ' first time to go! Afterward we went downtown to a burger place and then got some ice cream. We worked all that off when we went to play tennis with Heidi at PCC. Good day!

Jaida's long legs

Spring

We took advantage of the great weather Saturday and worked in the yard, I forgot to take a before picture, so this one will have to do. Although we are sore today it was a great team effort and well worth the aches and sore muscles today.

Kindy-Garten

I took Bubby to the school Thursday for kindergarten orientation. He was a bit nervous that I wasn't going to be with him during the whole time, but he went with the teachers none the less.

After coloring, reading and checking out the kindy rooms he got to ride on the bus! After our meeting we met them when they came off the bus. They were all smiles, and Logan was so excited.

School House Rock

 The school put on the first ever (that we've been going to this school, 6 years) play with the 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. They did a few songs from School House Rock.

I can't tell you how much we enjoyed this show, it was so sweet, very fun and peppy! I was sad when it was over, really I could have stayed and watched another hour of it.

Of course, Jaida was right in her element, doing what she loves and we were so proud of her and all the kids who did such a great job!

Can't wait for next year...and maybe Jenna will be able to get in on it.

Jaida Turns Eleven!

 Jaida had her birthday party a day later than her actual birthday because she had the School House Rock play that day. She wanted a SPA birthday theme, so we went with it. 

I think this cake is what inspired the theme, I had pinned it on Pinterest a while ago and she loved it.

We ate lunch then made an oatmeal mask, foot scrub and did our own mani-pedi's. I must say, it was the quietest birthday party I've ever been to! We had soothing music playing in the background and only a few girls over, made it pretty easy to manage.

 We celebrated with Framily Sunday night, so really we had a Jaida birthday weekend with two cakes and lots of friends! We are so blessed to have Jaida, she is very caring and helpful to everyone she knows. We love you, Jaida!

Street

The kids have been busy playing outside, we love our street!
