spring fun

Ari and her new Princess Mobile

Passed out after a long drive

She loves strawberries, or as she calls them "strawbabies"

School spirit week--sports day

Ari and "Fwafwa". She started calling him "Kya", then "brara", then "Kyky" and now "Fwafwa". Not sure how that came to be, but she sounds adorable saying it. He's a wonderful brother.

Mismatch day

My wonderful mom sent me flowers, just because. She is the sweetest!

On Friday, Jared left to California, for a fun, kid-free weekend.

Friday night, the kids had their annual school carnival. I only got a few pictures being as I was solo with 3 kiddos (thanks to friends for helping, though).

They had a ton of bouncy toys, games, snacks and prizes. So much fun!

Kyler had his first spring soccer game today. He rocked! He did so well and tried so hard. Very proud of him. Again, as I'm solo and Ari was napping on my shoulder, I only snapped a few photos.

Dying eggs

On Saturday, Kyler had his pinewood derby races and I had to take Danielle to the airport. So unfortunately I missed the races, but got some quality alone time with my sister before she left.

Easter

The Easter bunny came!

Easter morning

I was trying to get a good Easter photo of the kids. But between the 3 of them, the cat distracting Ari, sun in their eyes, blinking and whatever else, it felt nearly impossible.

My dad showed up to spend the day with us, he brought the kids each stuffed baskets, too!

Grandpa helping Ari put her shoes on

The weather was beautiful, so after we ate, we spent the day at the park. Hunting eggs and playing.

Grandpa and Ari, hand in hand.

She did not like the boiled eggs, Ha ha!

Today was backwards day for school spirit. Kyler asked for his hair backwards, too.

The past few weeks were incredible. We enjoyed having Danielle to ourselves for a week and a half. It was so hard to let her go, but I am so proud of her and it's an honor to call her my sister. Crossing my fingers she will come out to Oregon this summer, with my brother.

Hoping everyone had an incredible Easter, we sure did!
