Spring blossoms

2017 Spring Break

This last week was Spring Break for the kids. We got a lot of rain this week, but in between, the sun came out and we enjoyed a few days out.  On mOnday we went to Walter's Ferry here in Idaho by the Snake river in Nampa. It is a mile long walk, but all along the way are weird and fun statues and birdhouses.  Bailey brought two friends, so there were 6 kids. Luckily my parents came along to help me out. Madison and Jackson had a blast, but they want to be independant and walk, and it is very hard following both toddles as they run in opposite directions.

Trent was able to take Wednesday off work and he took the older two kids fishing

And throughout the week, we played outside. Maddie loves sidewalk chalk, so every chance she got, she would head outside and draw. The only problem is that they prefer the front yard, and they are now able to open doors and the deadbolt locks. Twice we were looking for them and a neighbor saw them in the front yard all by themselves and brought them back to us. It scares me everytime and we are now going to have to get another lock that these two can't open!

Cruising the 'hood

Happy St. Paddy's Day

My little angels

Happy Birthday Nick

This boy just turned 7 years old. He had a few school friends over to play video games and eat pizza, and Nick had a blast.  He is a very smart boy, who loves to be silly, tease his sister and play pranks on everyone. We sure love this little guy who always keeps us smiling! Happy 7th Birthday Nick!

Nick got glasses a few weeks and we have a already seen an improvement in his reading...yeay!

Happy 9th Birthday Bailey!

Miss Bailey turned 9 yesterday. She got to celebrate her birthday all weekend long. On Saturday she invited a few friends to get pizza and go ice skating with us.

Taking a break from ice skating with friends Kylie, Aspen, and Erika.

Then sunday night, we headed to Grandma Davis' house for a special birthday dinner and cake.

Jackson was relaxing and sure loved grandmas new furry throw (below)

Then on Monday, she was invited to her friend Lexi's birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. Since the two friends share a birthday, They celebrated both with more pizza, games and they both got to go in the ticket blaster, and more cake.

 This girl had a great 9th Birthday and said that it was the best ever! Happy Birthday Sweet Bailey!




I think Trent and Kyle had as much fun as the kids did!
