April Happens

I can't believe the month is almost over and yet I don't feel that I've really accomplished anything to talk about. So I just picked some of the best pictures of this month and we'll call that a blog post. Maybe I'll put a little explaining with each picture to give some context. If you're lucky. And if Eva doesn't wake up in the next few minutes. Which really, to be honest, she's going to wake up in the next few minutes. And she doesn't like me to be on the computer when she's awake. Cause that means I'm not giving her my 100% undivided attention. And that just doesn't go down with this girl:

Spring is slowly creeping home around here. Almost like it's trying to give winter one more chance to show itself. But the sun sometimes pokes its head out. And Grace sometimes has her eyes open:
Our garden boxes are built, filled, and planted. If it freezes and kills off my summer veggies I'm going to have words to say.



Eva is one and she loves chocolate cupcakes:
And her bottle:
And her brother and sister but sometimes she's not so sure about them:
Grace REALLY likes bumper-cars. Smashing at high speed into your pesky older brother and sending him skidding across the way. What's not to like?

Sam's leaning how to be obnoxious when it comes to taking pictures. Time to confiscate Calvin and Hobbes:
Eva has gone from detesting the very sight of a hat to actually leaving them on her head for brief moments of time:

Rob's scouting out back-packing destinations for us for the summer. Really I think the biggest appeal is that he gets to buy fancy light-weight new gear. Good thing Gonzaga is giving him a job so we can fund it all. Congratulations honey! Make sure you get me a comfy sleeping bag.

Yay, you are staying in the area. Monthly (or every other) game nights can continue. We are so excited. I love Grace's look in the bumper car photo.

I thought I would let you know that Braden is constantly calling Sam and Grace (and Grace's dad) on his pretend phone. He has long conversations with all 3 of them. I think we need another game night soon.

It is good to hear from you. I was thinking you might have gotten lost up there somewhere. J/K
It is good to see your cute family. You guys are looking pretty good. Congrats on the job that is always nice to not have to worry about it.

We will be going to Shriner's on the 17th of May. I'll have to see what the day brings and maybe we can stop by and say hello. It might be a fast trip though, up and back. We will see.

Eva has the most amazing blue eyes! Adorable!

So the Calvin and Hobbs comment made me laugh! I never understood the comic growing up, but now that I have boys, I get it! And Garrick too loves them! We've checked some out from the library, and recently got some from Garrick's book order. 4 of them to be exact, and he just finished reading the 4th today! Seriously he'd read them for hours at a time! Maybe we should send them your way, then when Sam gets done reading them, Garrick will have forgotten what they said, and be ready to read them again!
