Spring!

we have had a wonderful spring! It all started out with an Easter trip to Spokane and ended up with us digging in the dirt and loving the sunshine! Got out the hats to protect these cute little smiles from the sun.

Beckett is such an outside kid, he loves to dig in the dirt.

Don't mind the purple hat! I realized all of his hats are too small, but was not about to go shopping in the middle of our work project. Sorry Beckett, but I do love this picture. Too bad it wasn't a blue hat, I would have framed this picture and hung it up in his room! Nothin cuter than a dirty little face.

We had 14 people in Aaron's house cause Ezra decided to come up with us too, I think their house is like 1200 square feet, yep a little cramped, but it was fun. If houses being too crowded was really an issue for us we would never go and see any family, so it's just part of the deal! Here all the kids are opening there Easter baskets and eating their yummy candy.

Brady studiously coloring his egg!

Hoorray!!!! Flashlight, sidewalk chalk and a bucket w/ shovel!

All the kids coloring eggs with Lindsey and Marissa

We decided to get out of the house and we all went for a bike ride along the river, too bad it was like 31 degrees and alternately raining and snowing on us the whole way. We were all frozen by the end!

Getting ready to go, Ez and Linds roller bladed and pushed Beckett and Brock in the stroller, Emree and Brinley got to ride in the bike trailer. They were nice and toasty! We went swimming right after our bike ride and enjoyed the nice warm water. Needless to say the kids were sooo tired that night and slept so well. Friday night all of the adults got to go out for ice cream at this cool restaurant on the lake. We had a great time eating and visiting by the huge fireplace. Thanks Aaron and Marissa we had a great time!
