Rylee's first concert

 Rylee had her very first school concert today.  It was called "The Little Engine That Could Sing."  It was all the kindergartners and 1st graders at Bonney Lake Elementary.  It was so cute!  An "engineer" narrated the story and the kids sang lots of little songs to tell the story.  There were even little train props.  So fun to watch!

 Carson was totally into watching his sis and the other kids sing on stage.

Very proud girl.  We celebrated afterward with flowers and ice cream.  My girl is growing too fast!  When I dropped her off in the room to meet her class I overheard a couple of excited little girls saying "Hi Rylee!  You look so pretty!"  It just warmed my heart.

Easter a little early

 We will be in Hawaii for Easter this year, so we celebrated a little early with an egg hunt at Carson's school.  They both found baskets full of treats and goodies, and Rylee even won a special gift by finding a golden egg.  It was really cute to watch.  Rylee ran around until she found the special egg first, then she filled her basket with everything else.  Carson ran around and was very picky about which eggs he would pick up.  

 Happy (early) Easter!

Relaxing weekend at the beach

 We spent this last weekend hanging with friends at my parents beach house.  My parents are in AZ for a couple of months and they graciously let us use their beautiful home.  It felt like we were on a mini vacation.

 What an amazing weekend.  Saturday was absolutely beautiful.  We spent the whole day on the beach playing in the sunshine.  No jackets needed!!  The kids wore themselves out throwing rocks, making forts, fishing, looking for baby crabs, and throwing sticks for Coulee.    

 The adults had a relaxing time.  We paddle boarded, fished, sat in the sunshine and drank lots of margaritas.  We even played some games after the kiddos went to bed and I laughed harder than I've laughed in a long time.  

 Carson and Ronan spent a lot of time doing puzzles together.

 Rylee had a blast playing with Ronan and Theron.  I don't think she put Theron down all weekend.  Theron was a good sport and let Rylee dote on him.

Lots of memories were made this weekend.  Fun times with some of my very favorite people.  

Life is good.
