Spring part 2.......2015

Mother's Day 2015

Selfies in the church bathroom. ;)

We headed out to Coeur d'alene for the afternoon to enjoy the beautiful day and get out of the house.  I love it out there and we don't make that trip nearly enough.

Some street art.

Lunch at Capone's

                                     

Then to the resort and park to play.

They wanted in that water so bad!!!

Then back home to BBQ and enjoy my favorite part of our house.  The back yard! :)

All in all a pretty perfect day for me!!  I love being a Mom to these 4 crazies.

Gavin's play at school was Dr. Seuss themed and pretty darn cute! He had a speaking part and did very well.

She loved it too. :)

Dancing around to the music.  She loves being at the kids' schools.  She's like a little celebrity when we visit and everyone wants a hug or high five. :)

Ella and Gavin.....job well done!

Justin finally refinished our kitchen table and it looks beautiful!!

Now I have to finish the chairs dang it. ;)

Not sure what this was but it's pretty darn funny.......

Maybe one dog is not enough.....???

Little man looks pretty darn cute in a baseball uniform.  This is the first year he's gotten the full thing and not just a shirt to wear.  I love watching him play.

Celebrating after the game.

Birthday boy.

We celebrated pretty low key in the back yard with the neighbors.  We were heading to Portland so he was going to celebrate with his cousins too.

Pinata and BBQ is the way to go.

Off to Portland.......

catching salamanders

Pie at the berry farm is by far the highlight of our Aunt Wendy visits.

Bowling with the whole family.

New Spring bunny's.

This view is amazing....I just sit out there on her huge deck and soak in that view and sun when it comes out.

The kids love to sleep outside on the deck too.  They make some pretty great memories together.

It was a fun trip and nice to get out of town.

Haylee and Parris got to go sing at Silverwood with their Solar Energy choir so I chose to chaperone and go with.  We had a fun day, the weather was perfect and I got some fun time with them then some quiet time to myself to read my book and people watch. (my favorite thing to do)  These girls have such a sweet friendship and are always laughing.  It reminds me of my best friend Julie and how much fun we used to have together.

Summer is one the horizon and boat rides are getting more and more frequent.  We explored some new beaches and areas looking for camping spots on lake Coeur d'Alene.  There is really cool stuff you can get to by boat that you can't in a car so it makes it seem like more of an adventure.

Our families have so much fun together and we are so blessed by the friendship we have with the Bendele's.  It will be"The Bendellersick's" for years to come I hope! :)
