Spring time fun

In April and May we enjoyed many celebrations and family fun.

We started the month off with a birthday celebration for Noah.  He turned 3 years old on April 4th.  He loved all his presents and especially enjoyed his "Thomas Cake".  He loves his grandpa and grandpa thinks he's great!

 Following the birthday we got to get together with all the family for an Easter celebration.  We enjoyed good food together and lots of catching up with each other.  Love this family!

 Noah loves to ride the bike.  Grandpa got this little bike that has no pedals and just glides.  He goes pretty fast on this bike.  He got a regular pedal bike this summer and seems to love it and rides it at home all the time. (so he says!)  Alyna learned to ride her bike without training wheels this Spring.  Big accomplishment for her.

 Look at this cute face!  This is Hudson and he's about 5 months old in this picture.  It doesn't get any cuter than this.  Such a good baby and fun to have on sleep overs.

 Mason is busy doing puzzles!  We had a fun sleep over with both of the boys in May and enjoyed it so much.

 Went to the annual Sandy Fireman's breakfast in May.  Elysse is between Alyna & Noah next to the fire truck.  Elysse lived with us from January through May and was a great addition to our family. She was so good to all the grandkids when they stayed overnight.

 Elysse headed back to California memorial weekend.  We miss her!  Hope she is successful finding a full-time job now that she has received her Masters degree.

Went to visit the grave sites of Kevin's mom and dad on Memorial Day.  Alyna loves to come on this little adventure and help clean up the headstones and put the flowers on the grave.

I couldn't resist adding this fun picture.  During Spring Break Ava, Emma & Ethan came over and we went swimming at the East Portland Community center.  The girls loved the "lazy river" and the slide.  Ethan is a great swimmer and he was off on his own swimming and going down the big slide!

 Ethan played baseball this Spring and was a great hitter. Grandma got to go over to Hillsboro for just one game, and loved watching him play.

In May we got together to celebrate Michelle's 30th birthday.  She is one beautiful Mama! 

And last but not least, I couldn't resist adding this little picture of Hudson when he was a newborn.  He was probably only a week old when they did these pictures. 

We are so lucky to have such a wonderful family who we love and are grateful for them.
