These are in the back of our house and I think this fall I will be moving them to the front. They are amazingly big, bold and beautiful!
Ryan say "your tulips need some V8"
I wish this picture could show you the size of the tulip head, they are the size of a baseball.
What a great day! And it turned out to be quite the photo op. Here are some of the treasures that were taken. Ryan and the kids totally spoiled me with a pair of diamond earrings. Three years to the day he gave me my first pair. But this year he gave me ones that are perfect for me to leave in on a daily bases, since it turns out I'm not one for accessorizing. It was very thoughtful. 
I can see the Man appearing through my little boy, right before my eyes.
Rhys what a character..... we are going to have one wild ride.... and I'm looking forward to the journey.
MY HUBBY! Manning the grill for twenty people and doing an amazing job. Thank you for a special day!
The weather wasn't exactly warm, but it stopped raining long enough for us to do a quick Easter egg hunt. Gompy Rod's back yard is the perfect hunting grounds.
Hannah and Noah, always dressed for the party
Happy kids!
Hannah and KayLeigh have such a great time together.
Give Jack a pile of rocks and he's a happy boy, he don't need no stinkn toys. 
Rhys on the other hand is on the go. That's Go Go Go. He loves his car and has been know to just sit in it for a whole ten minutes, and for Rhys that is a very long time to just sit. Maybe he was sitting in hopes of going somewhere.
The boys have discovered the little crawl space under the slide and they will play in their little fort peacefully for sometime. It is very nice.
The neighborhood kids playing Duck Duck Goose. Rhys is trying to join in.
Some form of Green light Red Light, but it seemed that KayLeigh liked making up rules more then the original, so it got very interesting.
KayLeigh is in second grade, and in a few weeks she will be a third grader!!!
Ty is in Third grade and has found the joy of reading! 
My friend Jennifer and I have gone to the Portland Scrapbooking Convention every year since we started scrapping, for me that was 2002 and for JR I think 2003. When we first started she lived in Beaverton and I lived out in the sticks. I would drive out and stay with her. Now that is reversed, I live in Beaverton and she lives in the sticks with her beautiful family. We make a point of using the convention as a excuse to get together and spend the weekend doing girly things. Our wonderful husbands become Mr. Mom's and it is such a nice break for us moms. Thank you very much Guy and Ryan!
