Before and After!

Here is a little sneak peak at the first section of cabinets I painted!! They look so much better!! My kitchen is so much brighter!!

Easter!

This year we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house. I guess we usually spend Easter with them. Anyway, Nate was driving a budget truck home full of my mom's furniture, with Chris Blume. They got home at 4:30am on Easter morning and the kids woke Nate up at 6:30 am. He was a little tired but we had a splendid Easter with the McClellan's. We hunted eggs, colored eggs, and ate eggs!! We also went to the cider Mill and had apple fritter's!! We even talked to the farm animals!!

Like Father, Like Son!!

Enough said!!

After School Water Fight!!

If it hits 70 degrees in Washington my kids think it is summer!!

OMSI

This is the Oregon Science Center!! It had this fabulous toddler area!! We let Theresa take the big boys around while Tara and I sat and watched the little ones play for hours!! It was toddler heaven. An indoor sand pit and a ball area. Mason's favorite was the water area. He loved filling up and pouring out buckets of water!! Luckily they had vests and rubber boots for them to wear!! FUN! FUN! FUN!

More beach FUN!!

This time Logan fell in the water!! We saw some sea cucumber and other creatures in the tide pools!! There was also a cost guard boat and helicopter. Apparently they do alot of training in that area!!

Aquarium in Newport!

This day it was pouring rain all day long!! Outdoor Aquarium exhibits not so fun!! The giant Japanese crab was the big hit of the day and the sharks!! I was well prepared for the rain I do live in Washington!!

Tillamook Cheese Factory!!

The tour was great but we went there for the ice cream!! In fact we went there twice just for the ice cream!!

On the beach in Garibaldi

It was cold, wet, and windy at the beach!! Mason fell in the water in about the first 5 minutes!! I wrapped him in a blanket so the rest of the boys could explore. Needless to say we did not last very long!!

Oregon Zoo!!

We did alot of kid fun during Spring Break!!My Friend Tara and I went to Oregon and stayed in her mom's house on the beach. Between the 2 of us we have 7 little boys. We were smart because we invited a 17 year old german exchange student to come with us. We had a lot of fun but were exhausted by the end of each day!! Uncrustable Peanut butter sandwiches saved us time and money on this trip!! Mason stared and stared at the baby elephant and his mama1!!

Elder's Quorum Pinewood Derby!!

It was our Annual Pinewood derby and the EQ challenged the RS. So my good friend Tara and I decided we could beat the men. The pink sparkly decoupage is mine. Technically I would have gotten 3rd place had I tested my car on the track prior to the races. Unfortunately my weights were dragging!! Fortunately My good friend Tara won the race with her green goblin car. Nate placed higher than he ever has before. When the races were all over I put my weights on top and raced the top 3 and beat out Nate for his 3rd place. That was my whole goal and technically I beat him!!CHi Chow!!

Who is the coach?????

I thought these pictures were so cute!! CJ was doing the exact same arm positions as the coach!! As soon as we took the picture he changed positions but I thought they were still good memories of the Basketball season. He is such a good Sport!!
