Preschool Fieldtrip to Papa's Hanger

Our preschool coop went to Ellison Fluid Systems today to check out the Gweduck and other fun toys. We saw a shark photo inside the Starduster (thanks to a super cool camera that looked like a thin snake). And the strobe light made a fan look like it was off when it was still on.

Boys vs. Girls Weekend

Mike took the boys on a RV trip with some friends up to Birch Bay this weekend.




And Kristina and I celebrated our girls' weekend with a Tea Party. Notice that the beloved pig, "Ba Ba" is our guest.

And the Soccer Mom phase begins...

So the boys are doing a "sampler" class of soccer, basketball, and t-ball...

Here is the cheerleading squad.


And this is the first soccer game featuring Caleb vs. Matthew. Caleb is goalie here, but was more interested in holding onto the soccer net than in defending the goal and let two balls slide on by without the slightest concern.

April 8th. Snow. Seriously???

This has been the most mild winter I can remember in Seattle (esp. when matched with last years' 18 inches for Christmas). We live somewhat at a higher elevation than most of the area, and it seems we get regular snow dustings nearly every couple weeks through the winter months.

But not this year.

We did not get an inch, dusting, or flake ALL winter long. Then, on April 8...we woke up to this.

So weird.

Easter 2010

We had a wonderful Easter this year with Papa, Grandma Linda, Aunt Katie and Colton, and Uncle Jeff and Aunt Terri.

After church, we had a delicious brunch and the requisite Easter Egg Hunt. As I expected, this was Kristina's year (seems that kids get it when they are two). She sure loaded up, and the weather cooperated and we had it outside for the first time ever at our house.

And with this, I'm officially resigning from hosting parties at our house...until this baby pops out!

Daddy and Kristina get ready for church.

Matthew sports his handsome smile.

Ready, Set, Go!
