Jacqueline turns 6

A tropical cake decorated by Grandma and baked by mom--unbeatable combination!


Below: Julia helping feed Braden, Grandma getting Braden to "talk" and Grandpa playing "balloons"....





Just before cake is served Julia announced, "I'm just sitting here all pretty waiting for cake"--then she looked over at Uncle Justin and said, "Well, Uncle Justin and I are BOTH sitting here looking pretty waiting for cake!" --click-- in the bottom photo he was doing the looking pretty thing with Jacqueline-- :o)

Signs of Spring

A hummingbird--finally still.

We went to Tri-Cities for former student Mike Reilly's wedding. Terry had Michael in 5th grade and they reconnected when he played football for CWU. He was a standout quarterback and is now awaiting word on the NFL draft. It's a special connection. Justin hopes it's strong enough for some Seahawk tickets if he gets drafted here! :o)


Our former neighbor Joanne has goats! Janae would have put them in her pocket if she'd been along. They were soooo cute!





Our spring break started at the Oregon Coast. It was rainy and cool but very beautiful. And the coffee shop downstairs was very cozy~
