Spring is coming......

We had visitors come to town for spring break, it's fun to have Anson come play with the kids, it's been a while since we've had a little one in the family.

Paige and he both being youngests is definitely a love/hate relationship. 😂

The big kids however can do no wrong and they dote on his every request. 

We spent the days laughing, playing and eating.  Gavin went with Justin to Seattle for a Mariners game so it was just the girls and Anson for the rest of the time.

A little downtown photo shoot!😍

The boys were having a great time too! 

 They got good seats and were wined and dined and got to be there for warm up and BP.  Gavin was in heaven!!

Next up was our trip to Vegas to see Needtobreathe, a little after winter pampering was needed to get the toes ready for sunshine.  Bonnie was coming to stay with the kids.

The concert was AMAZING of course and we ran into one of the band members and his wife out in the casino of the venue so that was fun!  I've lost count how many times we've seen this band but it never gets old and they never disappoint!!

One of the other days we headed to the MGM Grand because we heard the country music awards were being hosted there and we can see stars behind the hotel getting out of their cars.  Sure enough we sat there and watched all of them pull up and get out!  Some of them walked over to our area and said hello so we got to see them up close.  It was a fun surprise and one reason we don't like to plan every minute of our vacations for things like this that pop up!

In our nighttime rounds when all the crazy begins we found this amazing artist that scratched these pictures with spray paint and tools.  It was so cool to sit and watch him work and make the ones that we got for the kids right in front of us.

Grace and her love for Nightmare Before Christmas

Gavin and the Seahawks

We didn't take enough pictures because we were too busy having fun but the trip was perfect!!  We had a great time and can't wait to go back!!

Meanwhile back home Grandma did some fun stuff with the kids which was nice.  

Baseball is back in full swing as well and this boy is loving it!  We really like our team and coaches, it's been a great fit for us.

Easter egg fun!!

Occasionally we get a good family picture!

Celebrated with friends down at Zola's for Rachel's birthday. 

Team kids was a good group of kids this year we had a lot of fun!

Justin and Gavin got back to another Mariner game with work tickets and this time brought Jim.  They had a lot of fun!

Visiting Grandpa and Grandma Ellersick, been a while.

Took Haylee to see Brett Young at the knitting factory and we had so much fun!!  I love sharing music with my kids and the one on one time is always fun!

Paige and her love for these Littlest Pet Shop toys is adorable!  Her collection is growing and she plays with them for hours non stop it's so fun!

Another birthday celebration with friends this time at the Piano Bar.

And a new car!!!  It will be so great to have all the space for kids, gear, friends, all the things!  However it is a Ford so we'll see what we think down the road. 😉
