Mother's Day

We took a picnic lunch to View Point park- just 5 minutes from our house. It was beautiful!

Mom with the crown Mackenzie made.

Campfire

It was such a nice day Saturday that we decided to camp in the backyard. And since camping isn't complete without a campfire; we built one behind the house and invited the neighbors over for s'mores. A sign of summer to come!

Mackenzie, Holly, and Emma enjoying their s'mores.

Um, Delaney, I think you sat in something!

Australia Day

It was Australia Day at Mason's school today. The kids acted out a story about animals who get trapped by a hungry crocodile. Mason was a platypus; that's Zach the Echidna.

This is blurry but you can tell he's a platypus.

Here are the animals "inside" the croc. We ate a feast of australian foods like kiwi, anzac cookies, etc. It was cute!

Gymnastics Girls

Mackenzie and Mason take gymnastics each week; but Laney likes to wear a leotard and get ready with them. I was trying to catch the two girls in their leotards together. Laney always closes her eyes to smile!

Look at Kenz.

Cute daughters.

Vashon Island Birthday Party

While Luke was at the Math Olympiad Competition I took the kids on the ferry to Vashon Island for my friend Meredith's son's birthday party. It was a lovely day.

Yummy cupcakes with chocolate chips.

Stickers were the party favor!

Happy Easter!

The Talbott girls at church.

We had a fun visit with Joel, Tess, Nicholas, and Eli. Here is a post egg-hunt shot I was trying to capture. Everyone was a little wiped out by this point.

Although this one is blurry; you can see that Laney's enthusiam is not waning!!!!

Dyeing Eggs

Everyone stirring the dye.

Tess guided the project. And Mason is following directions.

Pretty Kenz.

Cousin Nicholas!
