Calvin and Jett have had some persistent self proclaimed nicknames for themselves...Super Why and Lightning McQueen.  Watch this video so see these buddies in action:

It was just me and the boys last weekend while Piper and David flew to AZ for his Grandpa Doug's memorial.  It is always hard to face the death of someone you love, but it sounds like they celebrated his full life and enjoyed sharing favorite memories with all the family and friends that came together. Dave had a good way to put it that he felt his Grandpa's strong example of kindness lives inside of  him.  That and the lessons of opening doors and using a screwdriver to tackle dandelions in the yard.

Dave came home Sunday, but Piper stayed in AZ with Gma Alice.  She was so excited for this adventure and special time.  For sure it has been way harder on me!  =-(  But I am happy that she is independent and strong and such a delight of company for Grandma, especially during this hard time.

So while Piper and Gma are enjoying fun in the AZ sun, we are living our Bend life as usual, hitting up parks and riding bikes.  The boys are really getting good at their balance bikes.  We are on to the dirt trails now, they love the ups and downs and rock obstacles.

The farmers market has started, we are eating out of our own garden... summer is here!  Bring on the HEAT sunshine!
