Spring 2013

For Katie’s birthday she wanted to have a school friends party.  And she wanted a Mermaid cake. 

They played games like limbo and freeze dance.

 And we had a piñata.

 The kids also did crafts like foam butterflies and making necklaces with beads. 
They had a blast!

During Spring break we traveled to Lewiston to visit my brother Stillman and his wife Michelle and their kids Alex and Jayden, and to attend Alex’s baptism.  On the way there we stopped at the Spalding Visitor Center, which is part of the Nez Perce National Historical Park.

 

When we got there we had dinner and played at the park.

The kids colored Easter eggs and had an Easter egg hunt at Stillman and Michelle’s house.

 My dad’s cousin and his wife, Joel and Kim, invited us over for Easter dinner.  We had a wonderful dinner and Easter egg hunt at their house. 

Ring pops!

Katie surprised me with some homemade presents for Mother's Day.

We had a Mother's Day get together at my Dad and Mom's house.

Katie's Spring dance recital.  The theme was "Favorite Things." Katie's group danced to 2 songs: one about ice cream and the other about being a ballerina.

Grandpa Tony came to the performance.

We went camping at the sand dunes with our friends Memorial Day weekend.
