Maple Valley in March????

Yup, that's right. Yesterday we had a freak snow storm and it's almost April! Can't believe how much snow we got in just a few hours. The kids love it and of course it's beautiful to see. Kind of a fun surprise while we head into spring. We are definitely looking forward to some summer sun though. :) Before we left to take Abigail down to school I decided to snap a few pictures of the crazy weather!



The snow is so beautiful on the trees.


Shane waited out the picture taking in the car!

Happy Spring everyone!!! (ha, ha)

baby crush

Just a little something I wanted to share with friends and family. I've started my own little business. It's called "baby crush". I make baby blankets, quilts and more. It's still in the beginning stages but it's been a lot of fun so far. I am participating in a local Boutique with a handful of other sellers. The boutique will be held in March and there should be more boutiques to follow. Take a look at our blog and check out the products, www.bluegooseboutique.blogspot.com.

I know it's shameless but here's my plug... the next time you need a baby gift give me a call!!!! :)

Mid-winter break activities

Despite our kids being sick while on break we were still able to do a lot of fun things with friends!



We went sledding again, but this time to Cle Elum. Lots of snow there too and we had so much fun! I think this will become an annual sleding trip for our family, hopefully for everyone else too! Like the camping chairs...we know how to sled in style and comfort. :)


















Shane discovered his shadow while on break! It was such amazing weather and the sun shone every day. While walking through the kitchen he realized that when he walked through the light another little boy followed. He walked back and forth through the light at least 10 times. Too cute!!









Wyatt decided to help himself to some chocolate milk one day while I was putting Shane down for a nap. When I came down to the kitchen he was already working on cleaning up the mess! This picture doesn't really show it but I'm telling you that kid had chocolate syrup EVERYWHERE! See the drip on his forehead...he even had it on the back of his head. He loves his chocolate milk!!






Becky and I took the kids to the Seattle Center on Monday of mid-winter break. We had so much fun! There's so much to see and do. The kids didn't want to leave. After lunch they all had a special treat and got their faces painted. The girls had butterflys and Wyatt had a dragon. How fitting!

Fun in Leavenworth

We had a blast in Leavenworth a few weeks ago. Life is just a bit crazy right now so it's taken me a while to get this posted. :) I threw up a whole lot of photos for you all to see. They pretty much explain themselves. There was plenty of snow for sledding, lots of friends to play with, and lots of laughs! But what's up with Abigail's peace signs?... she's too funny!!

Going Pro!

Anyone who knows Wyatt knows that ever since he was big enough to pick up a basketball and shoot he would, and he would do it for hours! He LOVES basketball so we decided to sign him up for a community league. He's doing great and loves to go to practice and games. These aren't very good pictures but here's a few for you all to peep. I'll try to get some better ones at his next game. Wyatt's the one with his hands up! (ha, ha)





Looks like we've got another b-ball player on our hands!

Wyatt - ism

Today Wyatt was racing around the family room pretending to be a race car on a track. He was having lots of fun revving his engine and running fast. After about 15 minutes of this he stops and says to me, "Mom, feel my heart...it's beeping!" And sure enough as I put my hand to his chest his heart was just a "beeping" or beating away. :) I had to laugh!
