Cousin Photoshoot

We are watching the cousins over the weekend and took them over to Kelly's house today to take some nice photographs of the kids to use as Mother's Day gifts for Julie and Nancy. I think these turned out beautiful and love that the boys happened to wear coordinated outfits without trying.

Tulip Festival

We took the boys to the Tulip Festival in La Conner and had a wonderful time. The tulip and daffodil fields were simply breath taking and Sam and Wyatt enjoyed exploring and running around the fields. Here are some of my favorite captured moments.

Kelsey Creek Farm

Wyatt's preschool took a field trip to Kelsey Creek Farm in Bellevue and got to meet a lot of new animal friends up close, including a horse, goat, pigs, chickens, rabbits and sheep.

At the end of the tour, the kids worked on making a sheep craft, which included brushing out sheep wool and then wrapping it around a small pine cone and  adding pipe cleaner legs. Both boys enjoyed brushing out the wool.

Spring Break

With Wyatt in preschool this year we actually had a Spring Break so we flew down to California to spend some quality time with Nana, Granddad, Christi, Alex and GG. The boys loved the airplane ride and were so well behaved that I'm temped to make that trip a little more often.

The kids has a wonderful visit with their grandparents with lots of book reading...

 snuggling...

cookie making...

bathing...

tree climbing...

chocolate store touring...

and birthday celebrating (belated for Grandpa).

We also celebrated Easter and the boys got to hunt for Easter eggs with cousin Alex. They kids had so much fun finding the eggs that we hid them all over again the next day. Uncle Nick even came up for the day to visit and we all had a wonderful time.

The highlight of the trip for me, however, was when Grandpa and Wyatt got to play catch together. It brought back so many wonderful memories of playing catch with my dad and I was so happy they could  have that moment together.
