April 2014

Spring is here, meaning we are having lovely warm days interspersed with torrential rain storms, Easter was celebrated in Canada, work is crazy busy for Bryon and our baby is growing remarkably large :) 

We spent a lovely weekend camping along the Sandy River with friends.

Nothing's better than a s'more when you're camping!

Cold morning by the fire.

Attempting to fish.  I wish I had an after picture because he fell in mid-river!

Kai and the other kiddos earned their "Junior Ranger" badges.

Boys will be boys.

Kai was quite sick the day before Easter but thankfully recovered in time for Easter Sunday celebrations.

"Huh, where is it?"  So oblivious sometimes :)

Aha!

Each kid had 12 eggs, hidden all over the property, that they had to find.

Poor Great Grandma was in the hospital again, after breaking her hip.  So, we brought her Easter dinner just like we brought her Christmas dinner only a few months ago.

My cousin Lindsay was able to come up with us for the weekend since she's working in Seattle as a travel nurse for a few months.

Kai was a great little helper to Great Grandma.

Pretty sure Kai wishes he was their fourth child :)

Kai thought it would be really funny to play a prank on Bryon by making and serving him a "condiment sandwich", containing mustard, mayo, ketchup and relish.  If you know Bryon at all, he despises most condiments.  Sadly, he could smell Kai's trick before taking a bite :)

Kai modeling his new shirt from Gramma along with post-nap rosy cheeks and blankie.

Bryon helped some friends out with their accounting, and in return they gave us a restaurant gift card and free babysitting so we could go on a date.  Very fun!

All the kiddos watching their daddies' soccer game.

Beautiful day on Mt. Hood

And a not so beautiful day...oh and Bryon forgot Kai's coat, so he rigged up this nice looking fleece blanket contraption :)

Kai's first session of swim lessons has been going great!

Loving the sun!
