The Budensiek Family: March 2014 (and a little bit of February too)

Busy busy days! Trips, adventures, school etc. It's been a busy month. Time is flying by and I can't believe it's Spring already. We're still soaking up a bit of winter here though, with frequent trips to various mountains.

February ended and March began with the annual boys' ski trip to Pemberton. Sunny skies, not great snow and plenty of fun.

Meanwhile, Kai and I hung out with my family...meaning they took care of Kai a lot while I napped and ate a lot :) Oh the joys of being 27 weeks pregnant and counting.

It was good to see Great Grandma feeling so much better. We got to visit her at her condo and all of the other elderly people loved that Kai was wearing his tie :)

Four generations.

We came back from our holiday just in time for Kai's first preschool field trip - to our local Fire Station.

Stop, Drop and Roll!

Getting ready for some skiing at Ski Bowl.

And some night skiing, while I hung out in an Adirondack chair by the fire.

Getting ready for Kai's first school play. The kids got to choose their own characters and Kai wanted to be a "Triceratops-Stegosaurus". Fortunately I was able to borrow a Stegosaurus costume from a friend as well as a Pentaceratops mask which in Kai's opinion was even better than a Triceratops.

He did however want there to have fire shooting from his horns, so we made these flames and he was ready to go.

Waiting backstage.

The kids all did so well and made us proud!

First picnic of the year.

It was so warm that Kai and his friend rode shirtless around the park all morning :)

Checking out snails and soaking up some sun with neighborhood friends.

Such a brave and happy boy at the dentist!

He even got to listen to some music on a discman...haha! Our dentist is obviously not too up-to-date.

He even had to have a couple of really deep grooves in his teeth filled, but didn't even flinch. Maybe it was the awesome music on the discman.

Hanging out with my two boys :)

Kai likes to make us breakfast...usually cereal, fruit and yogurt. I'm hoping this lasts for several years to come.

Still his favourite blanket, although it's wearing a bit thin on the edges. He claims he's going to pass it on to "Bones" when he arrives, but we'll have to wait and see about that.

Over Spring Break we were able to take a quick 3 day trip to Bend and meet up with friends from Sandpoint. Here we are at Bachelor, all 7 pairs of skis ready to go.

The kiddos watching Frozen. Kai was mesmerized.

When choosing a vacation rental, our main objective was to find one with a hot tub. So worth it.

We met up with some of our good friends who live in Bend...friends who we've prayed with and hoped with for the gift of new life and here we are, both pregnant and due only a week apart!
