SOCCER!!

Soccer is here again!


We are super excited to have the girls in soccer again 
and we got our wish and they get to be on the same team!!






Shane is their coach and although it is a 
big commitment, it is always fun.
 

 Mr. T had a great first year!
He had a great team and tried super hard!

May long Weekend

It was a ton of fun to visit family quick while 
the kids were out of school!

May is pretty tricky where grandma and grandpa live, 
it can be sunny and springtime or a snowy playround!! 

Either way my kiddo's love playing outside at grandmas!


The kids enjoyed the playgound on an overcast day, 
Grandma was sure worried about how high 
I was encouraging them to climb!














Before we went to visit my Grandmother in hospice 
we drove out to the community pasture to pick wildflowers. 
 


 The girls loved chasing butterfly's,
listening to frogs croak, crickets chirp, 
and watch the birds swoop low 
over the pond.




 Grandpa had a great time helping them find 
all kinds of flowers, 


avalanche lilies,

 buttercups,

black eyed Susans,
 

shooting stars,

and even wild daisies!
.

They also loved clowning around in the back 
of Grandpa's truck, eating Cheetos!
 



Grandpa's Truck was Sooooo Fun!


On the way home we stopped in the Crowsness Pass 
to let the kids stretch and Shane could bike around a bit! 

The big kids went up the side of a mountain with dad and 
the Littles stayed at the playground with me!

Always so fun!

More Hair!

So I mentioned that when I got my hair highlighted,
That Mr. T was definitely due for a cut!

Wow was he ever! 
We always wait WAY TOO LONG!



Major Mohawk going on!
 

 Finally all done and ready for summer!!


Seriously it's like a hamster!

Mothers Day Return to Heart Creek Trail

So at the tail end of all this sickness was Mothers Day.

I'm not going to go into why this is not a favorite day for me.

But Shane did manage to convince the kids and I
that we needed to adventure somewhere the 
Saturday before!!

We had also been having some MAJOR push back 
from MS. A about adventures.

We decided to let her make plans, and she wanted to go 
back to Heart Creek.

I was all for that!
Especially with Shane along!

So we packed up and hit the road.

I remembered to check everyone's shoes,
socks and pack extra food. 
Learning from experience!


I was glad we hit the trail early because
later on it was PACKED!

We had a great time watching the rock climbers 
and finding remembered 
landmarks all along the trail!

GOOSE LOG

 TOILET ROCK
 (seriously why is the toilet so funny at 8?)

The kids loved showing Shane all the things they
remembered from our first trip,

They loved counting benches,




And Bridges,

Throwing rocks into the river,



 and Snacks!
(Who am I to argue with that?)


This brave girl was so determined to walk!
Which was both awesome and frustrating. 


When we got to the top Shane could take the kids a little 
higher than I was prepared to take myself or the littles.  

It was nice for the big kids to tackle something 
a little more challenging! 



 After our hike we crashed on the grass, not exhausted
but not ready for the fun to be over either!


What a fun trip, and what a happy 8year old
we ended up with!
