Birthday Extravaganza!

Our Big 5 Year Old!!!
How is that even possible???

Heading to preschool...snack helper for the day and Momma stayed! One happy boy. :)

Then I took Wyatt and two buddies to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch.

Ethan, Wyatt and Luke

So glad the sun showed up on Saturday so we could have his party outside.
Golf clubs from Nana and Papa!
The funniest part was when he opened them he says 'oh, I think these were supposed to be for my dad.' :)

I guess we were singing too load.

After soccer practice it was time for a picnic, then B-E-D. What a busy two days!

Easter

These pictures are out of order, but blogger isn't cooperating too well, so they will have to do.

After two days of birthday festivities, we had a quiet relaxing Easter. Wyatt and Cold got up from their first sleep over and had fun checking out their baskets. Caden got up about an hour later and Wyatt was happy to help him go through his stuff. :)

Goofballs!

Checking out his loot

We're moving!!

Well...in about 6-8 months! :)

The lot is picked, the plans are done so now we wait...for the City of Tumwater
As soon as everything gets signed off we are ready to start building our new house!
We are over the moon excited. We will not only be going from 1,800 sq. ft. to 3,010! We will be 5 minutes from my (and Wyatt's!) school, 5 minutes from the freeway and much closer to everywhere we drive these days. Wyatt's favorite part? The big yard we will have and the PLAYROOM!

Helmets vs. Shields 2011

Good job Daddy!

Fire got the trophy back!
72-61
And more importantly...lots of money raised for a great cause

Practice #2

So last week, Wyatt wouldn't even where his shin guards...this week, had them on at noon (soccer is at 5:10!) We took them off to eat lunch, but besides that he wore them all afternoon!

Hide and Seek

The boys have really been into playing Hide and Seek lately. Where's Caden?

Brother found him

I lost Caden again! Where is he?I think I spotted him! :)

Garbage Truck

Wyatt driving his garbage truck...notice the load of garbage in the back. :)

Those handles would be my wooden spoons. :)

Better late than never...

Collin had a great birthday last week.The boys helping Daddy open presents. Notice how Caden just likes to put the tissue paper under his shirt.

Then Wyatt helped me make a cake. Not sure what the heck happened. I greased the pan and everything , but this cake was so moist it fell apart while we were trying to decorate it. Lucky for us, Daddy doesn't care what it looks like since it tasted so yummy and had ice cream on the side! :)

Caden got in on the decorating...

Notice the shaker in mid-air! Ya, we had quite the mess by the time we were done.

We don't care, still tasted yummy!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!
WE LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK!

Multnomah Falls

Our first stop on our Anniversary Getaway was right here! Doesn't get any more gorgeous than that does it?
We were so lucky to have to sun out and the rain stop for our hike.

Oh and beautiful scenery as well!

View from about half way up.

And there's the top. You can see the railing in the bottom right of the picture. I was so amazed at how close to the falls they can get you.

Wyatt's first soccer practice

Fun and G'ma and P'Pas!

The boys stayed with P'pa and G'ma while Collin and I went to Oregon for our anniversary. They had so much fun and everyone was tuckered out by the end of the weekend. :)
