What a difference 5 years makes!
My first time making a recipe with kale! It was so good and I even made kale chips!
Mia and her friends working out for fun!
Reading like Daddy!
We just discovered kinetic sand and Naomi loves it!
Uncle Jon dropped this off on my porch the other day! It was my mom's stuffed animal that she would put her overnight things inside of to take to sleepovers! Wow! Just wow!! It's gotta be 50+ years old!
Dad enjoying his 75th free x 2 meal at The Keg in Arizona from the family! We gave him a gift cert to have a fabulous dinner since he wouldnt ever spend that kind of money on himself! Then they gifted them their entire meal! Wow!
Thanks to Sittee's annual OMSI membership she got us, we were able to take Nay's BFFs for a fun day of learning and play!
Park playdate with friends! Pure joy!

Next stop: 30 minutes unlimited arcade games at Big Al's!
He beat the high score!
And then beat it again! Our last stop was Baskin and Robbins to use a $5 gift certificate I've had for years, and the owner said they don't accept them! Lame! We had a fun afternoon out!!! I love taking each kid our every month!

Some of the most amazing food we have every eaten! We will be back here for dinner or breakfast sometime!
Adventure challenge #2!
Buy 5 unique food items and give to each other blindfolded to see if they can figure out what it is! Who wouldn't like hazelnut coconut peanut butter?? Well Maco didn't! Maco didn't like much of what I got! He was proud of himself for getting things I liked, but they were mostly things I'd had before. I was proud of myself for getting him things he hadn't tried before! He wasn't amused!!:)
Maco's food for me!
My food for Maco! Who picked the more unique items??:)
Delicious dinner!!
One of the rooms is in honor of a well known couple and grandmother in Kalama, which is also one of my former student Nicole's grandma! Nora & Chuck Amren!
The special candle! Milk & Honey! Perfect for us! ;)
We took a couple walks on the waterfront! The room had a great view of the Columbia River!
Loved our balcony!
Hard to see in the picture, but there were a bunch of sea lions feeding on the salmon!
Sea lions!
Yay! The sun came out for the second day!!
Fun place just 30 minutes north from us!
I had to stop by my old elementary school where I had my first teaching job! They rebuilt the entire thing, and it is amazing! Kinda got emotional while here. Lots of wonderful memories from 8 years of teaching here before I had Mia!
This girl is so independent! She sweeps up her kinetic sand all on her own after playing!
Freshman orientation!!! Crazy we are here!
These girls are ready for high school!!
This one thinks she is ready for high school, too!!
Finally T-ball in the sun!!
Loved our walk to get Kyrie at school in the sun!
We found a talking parrot cockatoo at a neighbor's house on the way home!
Flowers for their mamas!!
Well we have improved our nightly sleeping a bit! Nay now comes in the middle of the night and goes right to sleep in her little bed we made her and doesn't wake us up! Win for now!
Kyrie is finally back in the gym for his first b-ball tourney since December!!!
After winning two games at 80/90 something to 30 something, they made it to the Championship game! Unfortunately, they lost by 6! So fun seeing them all play again!
B-ball action! Didn't get great videos this weekend!
More b-ball action!
His BFF Bryson even came to watch! So sweet!
Kyrie's new way to practice ball handling.....in a bag! He saw a pro do this online, so of course had to try it!
Nay wanted to do a workout, too! So she did a few minutes on the treadmill .
And some lifting! I think I see some muscles there!! She so wants to be like her big brother and sister!
Fun times shopping with friends!
