Layla turned lucky seven this year. We celebrated with a mermaid themed pool party at The Club. At seven, Layla is a sweet, spunky go-getter. She loves gymnastics, basketball, swimming, skiing, piano and animals. Happy birthday, Layla Blythe. We love you!
It was a little overcast, but that didn’t stop the kids from hopping in

This year Kieron celebrated a milestone birthday and we now have another teenager in the house. We invited some of his buddies over to share in the festivities. At thirteen, Kieron is still pretty calm and even-keeled, but we are also seeing more moodiness and boundary checking. Kieron loves cooking, baking and reading. He also enjoys swimming, skiing and riding his e-scooter around town. He is such a sweet, bright, sensitive kid, and we love him to pieces.

The month got off to a start with a visit from Nana for Jonathan’s birthday. We took her out on Everlong and had lunch at Ivars Salmon House.
A little repair to the table/bed. We broke it on our first overnight because we didn’t understand all the components that kept the bed up.

No more braces! 
Layla tried spring basketball and loved it!
At the end of the month, we took Grammy and Papa out on Everlong with us. It was fun to be on the lake together again.
Our slip is in here
For Spring Break, we took a trip to Bainbridge Island, Port Townsend and Fort Flagler. Here are a few cool arial shots we took with the drone.
