Strawberry picking

I was able to take kaitlyn strawberry picking with our neighbors yesterday. We had so much fun. The berries were not the best but they were pretty good tasting in our strawberry waffles for dinner.

Preschool graduation

Kaitlyn had her big day last friday. They sang songs and completed the sign language for them as well. Kaitlyn did wonderful. They left the stage and then returned when their name was called to get there certificates. Kaitlyn was the only one in the entire class that would not wear her hat. She was worried about it making her hair look bad. The good times are starting with her and she isnt even 5 yet. The kids in the photo are kaitlyns really good friends,Liam, Aiden and Marin.

Visit with the new babies

It is so much fun being and aunt and uncle for the first time. We are so lucky to have two healthy little additions to our family. They are beautiful and I cant wait to watch them grow!

Alaska cruise

We had an amazing time on our 7 day cruise to Alaska. We got to see and do a lot of fun things both on the ship and at the ports of call. We got to see Skagway, Junea,ketchikan and victoria. We had great weather and it was simple a trip of a life time.

M's Game

We got to go to the M's game with our entire family. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time! They won which made it an even better day! colby, Mike and Lucus we missed you but we will go again when Lucus gets old enough to move around all game like caleb.

Making Sunday morning breakfast

The kids helped ryan make breakfast on sunday. From the looks of this photo kaitlyn doesn't think it smells to great. Another topic of conversation that day was that the sausage we were eating came from a turkey ryan got appalled at the thought that our kids thought sausage came from turkey and not pigs.

Priceless and clueless

Calebs pants kept falling down after they got wet on monday. Isnt this just a great photo. I cant wait to show him in 10 years from now. I just love him.

out door camp out

I thought it would be fun to camp out in the back yard- It ended up being extremely hot so we did the hot dogs, smores and popcorn in the tent upstairs in the ryans study room. Kaitlyn slept in her tent in the AC house. We had a great time other than the extreme heat in april. By the way this is how ryan camps- in his back yard with his blue tooth.

Tennis lessons

Well in our efforts to keep kaitlyn trying new things we signed her up for tennis lessons. She really enjoys them and it is fun to see her try new things. She did pretty well now it is up to us to keep taking her to the court. It is has been so hot this past few days we havent done it.

Pollen

I wish photos were true to the color and feel of this pollen- I have never seen anything like it. Ryan said it is a killer for allergies. I can even feel it on my skin and in my eyes when we went outside for a few minutes earlier today. It is so gross. Everything is just covered in it.

Caleb bites Kaitlyn

Dont ask me how it happend- The kids were laughing and the next thing I hear is kaitlyn crying screaming that caleb pinched her. Looking at the mark it is for sure not a pinch! BOYS- who wants one???

Easter

Here is a few photos from the day before Easter and Easter morning- The Easter bunny brought the kids a hot wheel and new sun glasses. We have Monkey Bread every holiday morning- the kids just love it- (dont we all?)

Easter Present Thank you to Uncle Jared and Aunt Beka

We made this video to send to Uncle Jared and Aunt Beka but it is to long to email so now everyone gets to watch it. We miss all of our family every day but especially during the holidays.

Maymont with our friends

The fun continues- We went to Maymonth park with our friends. Aiden from preschool his mom Amanda and sister Ivy. We were also so lucky because Brandi and the girls joined us as well. We saw a lot of animals. Bald eagles, ox, buffalo, lots of goats, bears, fox, deer and farm animals. We had a picnic and easter egg hunt. It was a great day with wonderful 70 degree weather. Thanks Friends

Spring break fun

Wednesday we spent the entire day with our friends Brandi, Alli and Savannah. We had so much fun dyeing easter eggs and making sugar cookies. It was so nice to visit and catch up. The girls played so well together and they let caleb tag along. Kaitlyn ended up staying the night. She had so much fun.

Alvis Dairy cow farm

The kids and I went to the farm today- it was a bit cold and smelly but we had a good time looking at the cows- They have over 600 milking cows and 100 that are having babies- we learned that each cow produces about 125 pounds a milk a day! They are milked 3 times a day and sleep on water beds. We ended our day with mcdonalds for lunch and smiles on our faces- as we were driving home kaitlyn stated she still smelled like cows milk- crazy I dont think has put it all together that the milk that we drink comes from the farm.

Fishing

Here is a few photos of our fun fishing trip with Uncle Dale and Josh. The kids each got to reel up one fish and we had a great time. The kids and I wish we were able to do it more often. Aunt suzie and Brianna made a wonderful dinner as well!Here is a short video as well- kids are funny.

Calebs 2nd birthday hair cut

So I have decided I didnt know what to do with calebs hair anymore. My mom and I took him to get his hair cut today. He wasnt into it for most of the time but he did get it cut and boy does it look so cute. We went to pizza for lunch and they didnt charge us for caleb because he was so little he ate three times more than kaitlyn. I think he is has decided that he finally likes food. Lucky for us with high food bills a ahead of us.

video for Ryan and family too

Here are the kids finger painting. Isn't that what rainy days are for???

Calebs birthday

We were so lucky to have been in seattle for calebs birthday parties. I made a tractor cake for the Beckler side and we had an ice cream cake for the Anardi side. Lots of fun boy toys. I need get some photos of the ice cream cake.
