Easter

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.

Spring - Let's get outside - April

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.

(Ty where is your belt!)

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.

School Pics

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!
Over spring break we had to wait outside of Costco to open so we could get the next book of the series;)

A great girls scrapbooking weekend March 5&6

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!

The Massive Veggie Garden has begun!

This past weekend we went out and cut into our lawn to start our huge garden. Last year we did a small trial late in the season. This year we decided to do the whole thing. Some of the seeds have been started indoors. The garden has been drawn up in great detail on my computer, and now we are just waiting for May to plant in the ground. But until then there is still lots of work to be done to turn this back yard lawn into soil suitable for our tomatoes. Oh man, my mouth is watering already.

Ty was a good little worker.

Ryan did most of the tilling, that thing is a beast.
That tiller won't win any beauty contests but man it get the job done!
Another great buy from Craigs list.

I know there is going to be a day when I can't believe these two boys could sit on my lap at the same time. Their personalities are really coming through and it is so much fun how different they are. This photo was taken in December of 08.

Here is a tribute to my wonderful Husband. He does so many things that are wonderful and I can not thank him enough. The picture itself wasn't that great, but I loved that it showed Jack in one arm, Ryan trying to do dishes with the other and Rhys with is foot up trying to climb up daddy's leg so he can be up too. Oh if we only had more hands.
