My friend Tina and I went to dinner and a movie for our combined birthday celebration. When I got back in the car after the movie I had a message from Jason letting me know what I had missed while I was gone.
(Don't mind Jason's cinematography skills.)
We have loved Patty and Ernie's cul-de-sac. There are five girls and a boy that they play with for hours every week outside. So many of them know how to ride bikes sans training wheels and it has really motivated Eva. I am sad I missed it, but sooo excited for her. Earlier today she was saying how she wanted to learn to ride her bike tonight and she actually did it!! Yay Eva!!!!

Spokompton
We are on the road back to Boise and I got blogpress on my phone for Mother's Day, maybe this will help me post more often.
We were in Spokane this weekend visiting my sister's family. My niece was baptized this weekend and we got to be there for it. It was a such a great day. Grace has such a pure, sweet spirit. She such a good older sister and cousin. My kids had a blast, and of course, didn't want to leave.
The baptism was Saturday morning and then the kids played hard all day, despite the crazy Spokane weather. One of my favorite moments was dinner last night. The kids were all sitting on the ground eating pizza and Elliot started up a round of "If you love (insert name) raise your hand!!" it was so watching each one of them feel special and loved when it was their turn. The dads stayed home last night to watch the kids while Becky, my mom and I got to go to a movie. (Limitless. Weird, but definitely not boring.)
We had such a great time, the kids can't wait to see each other again over Memorial Day weekend at the cabin.
At the church after the baptism
All the older kids wanted to ride home together from the church
Lilia and Maggie playing
The girls all squeezed into Grace's twin sized top bunk.
Colby and Elliot this morning. They didn't want to leave each other. They kept calling each other "peas in a pod." Jason said they were walking around in the backyard holding hands and saying, "peas in a pod. Peas in a pod." And they were saying "bye pea in a pod," to each other until we pulled away from the house.
Overall, a pretty successful weekend. :) I love having family close.
