Spring time is so beautiful with the trees in bloom
I introduced the kids to some retro Super Mario Bros. games and it was hilarious watching the body movement they incorporated into the games
Lyze checking out the local library box
This is the stump that was left after removing our tree
This is the guy that we hired to remove the stump
This is what it looked like after he was done
Then I had to haul away all the wood chips and dirt
Henry helped me fill it in with new dirt
I have seeded and watered a lot and this is what it looks like today (12 days later)
We enjoyed our tulips while they lasted
The blossoms on this crab apple tree outside of Lyza's window are beautiful
Henry helped Kim plant the garden
Kim and I made it to the temple
Henry had finally graduated from his balance bike to this pedal bike. He LOVES it!
Lyza got to go to a fancy soda shop with Kim
Our library had a Pokemon activity and all the kids, especially Mason, really enjoyed it
We got to go to a Spokane Indians game last weekend and it was lots of fun. The weather was perfect and it was a pretty entertaining game.
Mason loves tormenting the mascot
We saw Nixon's friend from school there so he came and watched with us for a bit
We had soccer the next day and Henry was the best looking on the field
One of Henry's snacks was a cake pop. He didn't want it so Mason got it.
Nixon worked hard through the heat for his game
Lyza attended a stake youth volley ball tournament that afternoon
For a service aspect of that activity the kids made cards for residents in assisted living facilities. This is what Lyza made. Isn't she thoughtful, creative, and funny?
For Mother's Day Mason helped shuck corn for dinner
We made a feast for our queen
Then we celebrated her
We also learned more about her
Then we had Crumbl Cookies for dessert
We all went for a walk on a beautiful day
With warm weather Henry has been playing in the water
Henry and I took Kim out for lunch last week
He thinks he can scare away the humming birds
It is fun watching him concentrate like when he make a fruit loop necklace
Nixon finally got to use his froyo gift card from Christmas
I went on a bike ride this week and saw this building on fire
Hanging out at the beach
We roasted hot dogs and made s'mores on Friday night
Nixon had his last soccer game of the season yesterday
Henry was there to cheer him on
Looking like a model
Nixon showing off his ball handling skills
Henry also had his last game
I asked him if he would score me a goal and he did! Then he scored another for the whole family!
We were so proud of him
He also employed some ferocious defense
Our two soccer stars
Nixon and I kayaked from CDA to our beach. The river still has current since the dam is not closed so it was an enjoyable ride on a gorgeous day
Here is a video of our adventure
Have a great week!
