May '15

Looks like time got away from me again. Here's a recap fro May.

Claire ran the Awesome 3000!

We got a piano! FREE!!

Claire's t-ball picture :) 

Playing "Hawaii" with friends

NO TRAINING WHEELS!!

She's so very proud of herself (we are too) and after just a few days was even starting off all on her own. Thanks to Uncle Sean working with her over spring break, otherwise this frustrated mama would still have her on training wheels.

Off she goes :)

First crash!  She was fine. 

Spring Break '15

We had a fun, but busy spring break this year. Half the week spent at Grandma Dee and Dan's newly built home at the beach. The other half spent in Sunriver with friends.

Flying our kite like a pro

Oreo's and milk

Someone likes to sleep with big sister

Tucker taking a swim in the Columbia

Lots of climbing and exploring the rocks. So fun!

Just a few pictures from Sunriver. We were too busy riding our bikes, swimming, hiking and having fun! Claire did learn to ride her bike with NO TRAINING wheels!! So proud of her! Thank you Uncle Sean for helping her. You're the best!!

Oops! Its May!

Sorry grandma's! I totally dropped the ball. Here's a few pics of our cuties.


Laurel's 2nd Birthday!! Kitty themed of course!

Birthday Girl

Her super cute birthday invitations

Meow cupcakes. Claire pretty much made them herself. 

Decorated kitty masks for everyone

Ta da!

No birthday would be complete without tripping (with your hands in your pockets) onto the concrete Bonked head, fat lip and scrapped up nose :(

Such a blessing!

I was blessed to be able to go to Kona, HI for a few days with my dear friend Samantha while she visited her parents. Thankfully they live there and I had just enough airline points for my plane ticket so my trip was FREE! 

It was an amazing time and so beautiful there. We visited a few different beaches, went paddle boarding, deep sea fishing (they own a charter boat), CAUGHT A MAHI MAHI!, relaxed by the pool, drank a few cocktails, enjoyed the sunset and watched the whales from their porch and just generally had a fabulous time. 

Corky (Grammy) came down to stay with Dave and girls so he didn't need to take time off from work. Claire and Laureli enjoyed having her here and the time they spent together is priceless. 

Initially I was reluctant to go because well it was Hawaii without my family. Dave insisted and thought I would be crazy not to go. It was a lot of work to be gone, but it was so worth it. I am so ready to go back :)
