Weekend at Grandma J's

We just returned from a quick trip to Corvallis to visit Gramma J.  Uncle Aaron came up from Bend with Jack and Ace for a night.  The kids had fun playing together and swimming in the hotel pool.  The kids would probably say their favorite part was playing in Gramma's adjustable bed.  😆
We also discovered a BMX track while we were there.  The kids got super muddy but had the time of their lives riding up and down the tracks.  It was a great way to get out extra energy.


Kennedy's 1st Birthday!

My baby niece just turned ONE!  She was adorable and had a blast at her party.  
She is such a cutie.  We all love her so much.  Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Basketball Stars

The kids both recently finished up their basketball season.  They both had a blast and improved so much.  Rylee ended the season with a trip to Mod pizza and play time at the park next door.  She's been on the same team with the same coach over the past 3 years.  Its been so fun watching the girls grow together. 
Carson was on a new team with a new coach.  He didn't know any one at the beginning of the season but he still had a blast and by the end he'd made many new friends!  🏀

Sunny escape to Arizona

The kids had a couple of days off of school for Presidents day so we took advantage and flew to Arizona to visit my parents and grandparents.  Lance stayed behind to finish up some projects and have some quiet time.
It wasn't the warm weather we were hoping for, but we still got some sunshine.  Luckily there was a heated pool at the condo so the kids could swim every day.
Here's a video of Carson doing his famous flip into the water.
We hiked up to the wind caves in the Usery Mountains.  It was a fun hike.  Carson surprised us all by running almost the whole way!
We also went to "Makutu's Island" which is an awesome indoor play area.  Its jungle themed with huge trees and lots of slides and areas to climb and explore.  The kids had a blast and played for hours.
We spent lots of time playing cards with Great Grandma Arlyss and Papa Willis.  Many great memories were made.  😃
All in all, a great trip was had.  The kids only drove me a little crazy and they got to spend lots of quality time with their Grandparents.  💓
