Mt. Spokane

It all started with Sammy getting a new backpack from REI. So then we HAD to go someplace so he could try it out. It wasn't quite warm enough for the lake, so last Saturday we headed up to Mt. Spokane and it was lot's of fun! We even (almost) made it the whole time without anyone crying! Sam had a little spill at the end and Katie fell out of the car onto her head (long story). But fun was had by all and I think we'll go back sometime. The view is really amazing and I had forgotten what a beautiful drive it is.

Sammy was a little nervous about the view below...perhaps because I had just told him not to fall off :)



Feeling a little bit more comfortable









Snow?!?? Not too sure what to think of that...


Ahhh sunshine! It was 50 degrees up there :)


Sammy's favorite part of the day...snack time!!


I threw this one in because lately we have this face in every one of our "photo shoots." Silly girl :) It makes me smile every time!

Looks like I have some catching up to do.....

WOW! Please excuse us, we've been a little busy. I don't know how it happened, but I've suddenly become the mother of children who DO things and need to BE places. What happened to my days of reading books all morning and thinking going to Target or the grocery store was a big outing?? Here is a little of what we have been up to the last couple of months...

Katie had a birthday. Happy birthday sweetie!! How did 6 sneek up on me so fast anyway?


We have a new gardner, her name is Lily. She's in charge of all the digging. Cuteness is the only thing that keeps her around :)


Sammy's school bike-a-thon. He rode the ENTIRE hour and a half. Katie got to join in on the fun too!




POOL'S OPEN!!! And Grandpa keeps it heated very warm for us, thanks Grandpa!








Hot weather in May means only 1 thing for us...the lake!!


Yes...we went IN!
