Spring Time Activities

Well, I kinda have to work backwards a bit, since it's been so long since I've posted anything. We were so frantic trying to get ready to go to Washington that I didn't have much time to think about blogging. Now that I've got all the time in the world, I can look back and see what has actually happened in the last two weeks. Oh..and I suppose I should update on my running progress. I got sick last a week and a half ago, and it really hindered my running schedule since I felt like I got hit by a bus and it was a really weird virus. I had gotten up to about 5 or 6 miles at a time, but then I couldn't run at all after I got sick. Because of that, and being exhausted from traveling, I wasn't able to run the half marathon in southern WA with my dad and my sister. I was REALLY bummed. BUT.....We have already found another one in Spokane on May 16th (2 days before we fly home)...SO I'm hoping that by posting this, and making sure everyone knows about the race...it will motivate me to get in gear again, and not let this one slip through my fingers. I CAN do this!
SURE...They'll smile for a picture after the SNEAK the candy I was bribing them with.

Sitting happily (now that they've gotten a piece of bribery candy) with their Easter baskets.

She was a bit hesitant to get that close to it for the picture, but I would be too...
that thing could be Mothra's relative. It's the size of her head!
A butterfly bench. Couldn't pass it up.

A gorgeous day to be outside (and of course, play with daddy).
WE LOVE SPRING!!!
