Quarantine: Week 4

Nixon has been practicing his jump shot

 Kim had the kids draw uplifiting messages on the sidewalk (including some stained glass)

 We continued our annual tradition and made resurrection rolls for family home evening this week

 Henry kept busy posing for the camera

 I have gone from coworkers bothering me during the day to a cute three year old sharing the crafts he made with me

 Henry has really enjoyed this slide this week

 Monday night we went for a quick impromptu hike down by the river

 The water is really low still. I thought it was really cool to see the exposed roots of this tree on the shore

 This area would normally be covered in water

 The sunset was really pretty

 Mason was proud of this accomplishment

 Henry got his leg stuck on this fence

 On the way home we checked out the full moon

 The sunset in this area (another spot along the river) was also pretty

Now that spring break is over Lyza got to video conference with her entire class. She really enjoyed seeing everyone and has really missed them 

 They found daffodils on their walk

 The kids are now almost permanent fixtures in the back yard. They have the trampoline, hammock, bouncy house, play structure, and sandbox to keep them busy

 Nixon helped make these popsicles 

 Everyone helped eat them

 Kim set up an obstable course one day this week. Nixon was a champ, Mason tried his best, and Lyza just wanted to read in her room

 I got to work through it all

 Friday evening after we finished our fast we headed out for a hike near Hayden Lake

 We all enjoyed getting out in the fresh air

 This boy LOVED hiking! He RAN hard for the first half mile.

 He would hold our hands occasionally (but not very often or for very long)

 Having a snack break

 They are so cute together

 Henry had developed some pretty awesome poses for picture time

 My lover and I (I wore the child carrier backpack without a child in it ;)

 We got a little overlook of the lake through the trees

 Henry hiked the entire time. He also had the cuttest little hike/dance thing going on

 Lyza spotted this pretty yellow flower someone left on the top of this big stump

 Mason was fascinated by the many sticks he found along the way

 Bearded hiker selfie

 Nixon thought he was so sneaky trying to blend into this tree

 He got me!

 Masosn got tired and decided he needed a piggy back nap

 This tree was being devoured by ants

 Not sure about this one

 Lyza looking a little too serious (I think she was tired at the end of the hike)

 It was really fun hiking with Henry. We had no idea he would do the whole hike on his own. 19 months and 1.7 miles. He has a bright future ahead!

Henry has been enjoying eating outside

 Nixon got a spiffy (quarantine) haircut

 So did Henry :)

 We all started watchin Dolittle last night

 Here is Nixon with his new haircut

 Cool boy

 Mason got a haircut two weeks ago and this morning was the first time we combed/styled his hair :)

 When we tried to get a picture of Mason and Henry together Henry was almost instantly in a choke hold

 Fresh new haircut for Henry

 Cute boys

 And we can't forget Lyza!

 Kim's grandma turned 92 today so we got some pictures of the kids together to send to her

 We even had them put a candle in a pie and sing happy birthday to her

 Henry was excited to blow out the candle

I can't wait to share some of our Easter celebration with you but that will have to wait until next week

Take care
