Cuz time! - May 2012

Supported Travis and Missy's racing in the UW Bothell 5K, May 19, 2012. Way to go dad! Got a medal! 3rd place in his age group whoop whoop! Face paint at the race for all of the girls made for a photo shoot at home afterward. Ella got her hair done up all fancy at Abbi's birthday party that morning. We also went to Bellevue Downtown Park with the cousins. Visited great grandpa's grave for Memorial Day with more cousins. And the last pic is Ella's crazy hair day for school.

"The Farm" Field Trip - May 2012

Kindergarten field trip at "The Farm" in Snohomish. This morning Keira spent with Alara while I went with Ella on her class field trip. Ella went on a hay ride, planted a pumpkin seed, petted some goats and rabbits and saw baby ducks and chicks and kittens. She also took home her own marigold plant. She buddied around with Abbi so we took her home with us so they could play this afternoon and now Ella is sleeping over at her house. Keira sometimes has a hard time when Abbi gets so much of Ella's attention so I let Keira sleep in Ella's bed tonight. This afternoon the Jordan's visited us yay! They brought the girls matching pink and white I love NY shirts and some black and white cookies and some truffle infused salt for Travis and I, yum! The girls danced ballet for us in their ballet outfits.

Keira's 4th birthday/GWL/Weston's shower - April 2012

Happy 4th birthday sweetie pie! K got her nails done thanks to grandma. Then off to the Great Wolf Lodge for some family fun. Keira was pretty scared of most anything in the water park after getting gently knocked over by a wave shortly after getting there. But by day two she wanted to go on as many things as she could. She mustered up all of her courage and ventured to Fort Mackenzie, the River Canyon Run, and Alberta Falls. We liked to watch Ella on the Big Foot Pass but didn't like letting go of me. She didn't like the kiddie slides that ended with massive amounts of water in the face. The bunk bed was a huge hit with the girls. We went to story time at night at the great clock tower in the grand lobby. After some amazing quality adventure time together it was off to Portland for the future baby Weston's baby shower. Got to see Debbie, Lynzee, Abbey, Riley (the baby pic), Ailee, Finley, Missy, grandma and of course Auntie Sidney.  Keira and Ella enjoyed helping auntie Sidney open her presents:) 

Easter and More - April 2012

What a happy Easter we had! Yesterday we started at Blythe Park with an egg hunt instead of the usual Doug Allen Sports field. We opted for Blythe because we were invited by Marissa Corless and knew that Camille and Constance and Aubrey and Dee Dee would be there. Ella went to Aubrey's 6th birthday party in the afternoon where she had an egg hunt again and played a fairy dust race which was just sugar on a spoon you raced to another side of the room. And then in the evening we all went to Bothell Landing with the Larsen's, Nye's, Rosensprungs, and Mills for picnic dinner and another Easter egg hunt.

April 4:We dyed Easter eggs with Cindi and Alara after Keira's preschool.

Went on a bike ride in our neighborhood and stopped at the open space. The girls made fairy houses out of dirt, grass, and rocks. I caught Keira singing yesterday out of nowhere the song "moves like Jagger" by Maroon 5.  She sang "I've got the moves like jacket!" 

Made Easter dinner while the girls played dress up and were super sweet together.  At one point before church Keira was Petting Ella's unicorn and said it was the bravest unicorn in the whole wide world and it wasn't afraid of big robots or little robots or little baby spiders. That's one brave unicorn if you ask me. Travis made lamb and chicken skewers. And we made homemade honey wheat pitas the night before which are really yummy. We had gyro's and cous cous and others brought fruit and greek salads and snacks for the girls and we made strawberry shortcake for desert. 

Keira's goofy face photo is what happens when she's waiting for Ella's gymnastics class to be over.
