Spring

It seems that I have been letting the pictures pile up on my camera.  Here are a smattering of some of my favorites this past month.

These Easter Bunny outfits were such a hit this year.  They are special hand me downs from the Shaw family who also happened to be part of an older sister and twin brothers dynamic.  Thank you Pat Shaw for saving these gems for 30 years to pass on to us!  =-)

We were invited out to Sisters for an annual Easter Egg Hunt Party, it was a beautiful day!  Fun friends, good food and TONS of hidden eggs!

Me, Maggie and Piper had a biking date in Shevlin Park a few weeks ago.  Lots of stops to explore in the woods.  I love where we live!

Notice the T REX face in the rocks

We had a nice visit with my mom who came for a visit the beginning of April.  Unfortunately I got super sick, ended up with this crazy 2 week flu - so my mom got more than she bargained for as I was  laid up on the couch! =-(  Thank you mom for the endless laundry doing, clean up and love you poured  onto me and my family.  You are the best!

Any guess how this picture was captured?

Biking and hiking and climbing...getting dirty in the dirt...this is just the beginning of the summer I have planned for these monkeys.

Well when it really gets warm the pool will be a big part too, but for now...we are at our best when we get outside!

This was a recent Monday where Piper had the idea of double dates.  First Piper and I headed out on the trail-a-bike for a long ride that ended at a frozen yogurt shop.  Meanwhile Dave and the boys enjoyed the  indoor kiddie pool for a special "boy's outing."

Then we switched it up and Piper and Dave headed out for their date to the toy store, while me and the boys went treasure hunting in the woods.

We started out on bikes, but they ended up ditching them and running off trail to climb hills, explore gullies, scale fallen trees.  There were lots of treasures out there, but the best were the metal dragon and old weeble wobble I had hidden for them to "find" as part of the hunt.

Love this girl.  Now 5 1/2 years old officially on April 26th!  We celebrated with a doughnut in the morning and pumpkin cookies for desert!

David and I got to sneak in one more spring skiing date while the kids were in school.  We stuck to the groomers, but had so much fun on the soft, soft snow.  It felt like we were water skiing it was so slushy in some sections.

Mostly just great to be out with my man!

Calvin the Great...out enjoying some spring snow in town.  It was a surprise dumping that all melted by  the afternoon, but fun while it lasted.

Look out PUMP TRACK!!! We have big fans here of riding in the dirt.  Calvin and Piper loved hitting the trails, it is so fun to watch them!  Here is a quick youtube video below...
