Kai's first soccer camp

Warming up 

Some "Friendly" shoving going on. :)

Needing some one on one time with the coach to redirect Kai back to the group.

Nice kick!

Kai being "Tigger" - I just had to add this one in. :)

Finally a sunny day

The kids were super excited to go out and play in the sun.  They got pretty creative with this croquet tree. :)

Quick snap shot

We had no battery life left in our camera so this is the only shot we got with all the kids in their Easter outfits.

We got a few more with the older kids after Karsten went to bed.

Super Babies

My cute superbabies!


Koby 4 months
Makai 6 months


Karsten 9 months

Karsten - 9 months

Our little guy is growing up so fast. He crawls everywhere, has 6 teeth and gets into everything! We love our little Kar boy! :)

Mr. Bunny Eggs

This is what Kai calls the Easter Bunny. He actually surprised us all when he wanted to sit on his lap. We are sad to say that we did not take one picture on Saturday when the kids got their baskets and did their egg hunt. We did film them and I promise to take pictures and blog them in their Easter outfits.







My cute mom sent us this super fun craft to do. It was a spring candy Easter basket! We had fun making and eating it. Thanks Grandma!

Spring Break

It was super rainy, but we headed to Spokane to visit my cousin Kacey and her cute family. The kids always have fun playing and we had fun chatting.


So if you look close at Kai you will see that he is holding on because he doesn't want to go down the slide. There were many tears, but once he went down he wanted to do it again. :)

A special Visit!

My dear friend Natalie came to visit with her daughter Sadie. We were so lucky to have pretty good weather! We had such a fun visit. I am so glad that they made the trip out!



Hiking Wahclella Falls. Kai hasn't stopped talking about waterfalls since then.









Kai and Sadie loved playing together!





Matt and the older kids ate on this cool rock. I love how the picture turned out.

Visit with G&G Skousen

I took the two younger boys and went to visit my parents at the end of February. It was my mom's b-day and I haven't been able to celebrate with her for many years. The plane ride wasn't so great, but the trip was well worth it!

Building a snowman with Grandpa.


Grandpa got super creative using cookies for the eyes, a carrot for the nose and lemons for the mouth. There were sticks, but it melted really fast.



We love Grandpa and Grandma!
