Copher's birthday!

Well Copher is the big 6 now! We officially welcomed in the bday with a picnic(the sun was shining, I couldn't resist). I even bought a little cake for all of us to share.

We decided that cutting the cake is for wimps, we just all dove in,hehe. And of course we had to have ice cream but since we were on a picnic keeping it cool was an issue so we decided to make our own in our camping ice cream maker.

We had tons of fun! And really enjoyed the sunshine while we could!

Pacific Beach

I had the oppurtunity to put my hobby to good use this weekend. I spent the weekend with my mom, aunt carrie and my cousin Sarah quilting for a group called American Hero Quilts. They make quilts for the wounded soldiers that come into Madigan Hospital. It was a wonderful weekend and I really hope they made their goal of 20 new quilts this weekend. I think I will keep putting together quilts and sending them in because I can't think of a more deserving group of people to get them.

Easter Eggs!!

Alrighty so after a rough week back in reality! We decided to end the week having a fun night, I bought the kids Bolt and while they watched that they ate dinner and then I helped them individually paint their eggs.

Eve was scared to make a mess(so not like her)

Christopher goofed and giggled his way through our little painting session

Harmon was my thoughtful one, commenting pn all the colors.

And then there was my analytical Goobers!Who I totally think has been sneaking views of America's Next Top Model to see how they pose!

All in all they made some simple but very vivid, beautiful easter eggs! We also baked cookies for reading time afterwards.

Spring break!!

We had a bit of fun on Springbreak this year,once it stopped raining anyway! We decided to hit the beach when it turned out sunny this weekend.











We really enjoyed spending the day doing nothing! The kids played in the sand for hours while Scotty was our wonderful provider:










After we got our hotdogs roasted we spent time wondering the beach and then came back and spent some more time in the sand, the kids played while mom and dad layed out on the beach and played with the camera



We even got the dog into the action with the camera





All and all we had a wonderful day, came home full of sand and sunburns. We really enjoyed our little spring break trip!
