April

It may be April, but there is still some powder at The Summit, so Avery and Dalton went skiing/snowboarding

It’s getting real!

First fire of the season

I love this magnolia!

We stayed home for Spring break, but Layla went to her friend, Shelby’s family ranch, 9 Mile Ranch, in Eastern Washington for a few days. They had a terrific time together!







Phoebe, waiting for Jonathan to drop something… anything!

First day on Everlong this season. We had to take the Christmas lights off her!









Avery and Erika are so sweet with Layla. They’ll often hang out with her around the house.

Trivia night at William Grassie Winery

Layla went the her friend, Sawyer’s, spa-themed birthday Party. It was so cute I have to share the pics!

Viva Las Vegas

We  really appreciate Nana and Frank staying with the kids after Easter so we could get away for a couple days in Las Vegas. It’s been a stressful couple months with Jonathan looking for a job and we needed a break to recharge, so we used miles and points to treat ourselves to a couple days in the sunshine. We hung out by the pool, walked around town, ate yummy food and went to a show.

We stayed at the Vencecian. Here’s the view from our hotel room.

Easter

Nana and Frank came up to visit for Easter this year. We had a traditional holiday morning while Avery went to church with Erika, followed by brunch with friends at Laura and Simon’s.

Jonathan’s Birthday

Happy 45th Birthday, Jonathan! We celebrated with friends on Saturday night. Unfortunately, I forgot to get a group shot at The Club, but I did get this of some of the guys hanging out at our place afterward. Zach, in the middle, has a birthday a couple days before Jonathan’s so we did a joint celebration.

Lunch at Paseo, in Issaquah

Marionberry pie!

We ran into friends during happy hour at Saints – where everybody knows your name!
