Spring Break

Over Spring Break Grammie, Papa, Ethan, Josalyn, Maddie and Kaleb came up for a visit. We all had a wonderful time.

Lizzy and Maddie getting ready to go to the pool on the first day.

On Saturday we went and hiked Tubbs Hill.

While we waited for the other half of our group to make it back down the hill Maddie and Lizzy decided to read a book together.

Maddie taught Lizzy how to roll down a hill, she thought that was so much fun.

Grammie taught Lizzy how to play war.... I think Lizzy let Grammie win.

The one day that both Josh and I had off together we decided to take everybody to a really neat park called Manito Park in Spokane that we had heard about. I wish that it had been just a little later in the season, as it would have been absolutely beautiful.

This would be a picture Lizzy took, she said she wanted to take a picture of mommy and daddy.... if you look really close you can see a sliver of daddies face. =)

On the last day we drove into Harrison to go Geo-Cashing. We walked the 70+ mile bike path for a short distance looking for treasure.

Lizzy wrestled with Ethan... I am not sure but I think she won a bunch of the matches.

On the last night all the kids were in Grammie and Papa's bed watching cartoons, of course Lizzy was allowed to stay up way later than her bedtime because it was so cute.

It was a wonderful visit and we can't wait to do it again!!!

Snugglin with daddy

Lizzy and daddy love there snugglin time.

Swing Set

A couple of weekends ago a friend gave Lizzy a swing set that her daughter didn't play with anymore, it so made Lizzy's day. She has already logged so many hours on it, we can't say thank you enough for it.

She could not wait for daddy to finish putting it together. She took Millie out side to show her the new toy, they are so cute together.

Her new favorite saying is 'Mommy I need a hard push'

Playing with Gramps

I am not sure which one the kid is in these pictures.

Lizzy was having so much fun!!!!

Bubbles

The other day both Josh and I had dentist appointments and Lizzy was such a good girl waiting patiently for both of us to be done, that the receptionist gave Lizzy her choice of a toy. Of course she chose bubbles. She spilled the first round in the dentist office, and second round had to wait until we got home.

Camera

Lizzy has discovered how to use the camera...... below are some of her masterpieces.

There are tons more that I discovered when I downloaded the pictures, most of which I am unable to figure out what they are.

Oregon Trip

Our girls trip to Oregon.

Lizzy did so good traveling, better than mom I think. As you can see she made herself very comfortable. We left on a Thursday around 9 in the morning and made it to my mom's around 5:30. We made great time and only had to stop once.

Maddie and Lizzy waisted no time breaking out the toys.

On Friday Grammy, Lizzy and I went to lunch while the car was worked on.

Once we finished all our errands in Corvallis we went back to Grammy's house for a girls night with Tori and Aunt Linda. We had a great time playing cards and of course stuffing our faces.

Saturday was filled with visiting more friends. We started the day off with getting to see Jonah and his parents. It took a few minutes for them to warm up to each other again after not seeing each other for about 7 months, but it sure didn't take long.

What little cheeseballs!!!!!

I think they knew we were getting ready to go because neither one of them wanted to sit still. It was another tearful goodbye. I wish they could play together like they used to.

Next stop was to hang out with Niki and the old Bunko group. Of course Niki had to spoil Lizzy with a ride.

Sunday was Grandma and Grandpa's day. On our way to their house we stopped for drinks. The lady that made our drinks thought she was absolutely adorable and asked if she could put whip cream the straw of her milk...... it was such a cute idea until I had to clean it up.

Lizzy had a great time playing with Grandma and Grandpa.... they played a fishing game.

and Grandma made her a balloon horse.... took her awhile to make it but she was determined.

The marbles of course came out of the closet.

It was such a fun day visiting with Grandma, Grandpa and Great Grandma and Grandpa. We stayed that night at Grandma and Grandpa's. I would like to say we slept there, but since we were up almost all night with ear aches there wasn't much sleeping.

Because we were up pretty much all night on Sunday we went and visited Grammy at work. She had a very nice doctor she works for look at Lizzy's ears and write her a prescription. Once we got the prescription filled we went back to Grammy and Papa's to rest and try and get ready for the long drive home the next day. Fred of course snuggled up with us for our naps that day.

On Tuesday we got on the road around 8:30, Lizzy fell asleep within 5 minutes of leaving and slept all the way to the Tri-Cities where we stopped for lunch. We had a great visit with everyone, wish we could have seen all our family and friends while we were there.
