April...Part 2

As I was looking back at our pictures, I realized that we have actually done quite a few fun things this past month...so I divided it up into two different blog posts.
 
Last weekend, the Lynden Library had an event called "Dia de los Libros" where they celebrate the Spanish language and Latino culture. There were art tables, a scavenger hunt, story time, and a 'make your own tortillas' station. Quite a few of Annaliese's classmates were able to go and several of them even read a book in Spanish during the story time! Annaliese was super excited to participate!

 

 

 

 

Kyle turned 36 on the 28th! We celebrated his birthday by getting a couple's massage and going out on a date! On Sunday, we met up with Kim and Kelsey and went for a hike to Clayton Beach. After we got back home, the girls gave him their present (a marble run...they knew exactly what they wanted to get him and were so excited to pick it out!) and we made gluten-free, dairy-free, brownies! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then there are always the other random pictures I find as I look back...

April...Part 1

Here we are, at the beginning of a new month...which  means it's time to post a few pictures from last month! I came down with the flu the weekend after Spring Break and spent the better part of 5 days in bed; it's been a slow recovery but I'm finally starting to feel better!

The girls have continued to do gymnastics every week and love it! In between classes, they are busy practicing summersaults, dancing around the house, and playing on their balance beam! Even Lydia is able to walk across it without falling off!

 

 

I had to work Easter weekend, but Kyle and the girls went to church and then spent the rest of the day at Mom and Dad's house. It sounded like everyone had a good time and the girls all looked adorable in their new Easter dresses!

 

Kyle's Easter treat...a dark chocolate peanut butter cup!

 

 

 

 

The week before Easter, one of the local churches put on an Easter event, with games, snacks, and even a horse-drawn wagon ride!

This is actually a snack we made for Haleigh's class party.

We've also been able to hang out with cousins a bit this month. Kelsey and I took the kids to the Marine Life Center and then had a picnic lunch at the park. It's so nice to have the sun shining to be able to spend more time outside!
