Easter

Check out what the Easter Bunny brought the boys.

Tyler and Sheldon all dressed up for church. Sheldon loves the chick his Tummy Mommy made for him at Build a Bear for his first Easter last year.

After church we headed to Uncle Brian's and Aunt Jodie's house in Seattle for dinner with every single one of my siblings, ALL of my nieces and nephews, and my dad.

 The food was CRAZY good!!!

 

But the company was even better.

While the adults slaved in the kitchen, the cousins set the table and made yummy peeps nests.

 

After a yummy dinner, we headed outside to enjoy the beautiful weather.

 Dancing with the Stars performance with Brandon and Mak

Easter Egg Hunt Mak style. I swear she only stands with both feet on the ground 10% of the time. She is always tumbling or in some crazy position.

 Mike and Sheldon were a team.

 Brandon was determined to make sure Sheldon found a few more eggs.

 Sheldon wanted to try a little badminton.

 

 

  Mak's favorite hiding spot at Uncle Brian's house.

St Patrick's Day

We woke up on Sunday the 17th to find leprechauns had caused some mischief. They turned our oatmeal green and forgot to flush the toilet.

But Sunday wasn't just St. Patrick's Day. It was also Brek's 8th anniversary working at the Police Department and his last day on the job.

 On Friday, he visited his last classroom and had a retirement party. Of course he chose Tyler's 4th grade class to be his last.

 

It seems like everytime I go to Tyler's school for an event that I want to video or take photos, it is Pajama Day or something bizarre. Friday was spirit day and they had a contest to see which class wore the most teal. Tyler's teacher is very competitive and brought teal ribbon for all of her students. Nice hair Tyler!!

 I'm not sure who enjoyed all the attention more...

 Brek or Sheldon?

 

Over his 8 years of service Brek has visited countless classrooms and met literally thousands of students.

 

Brek has gone from sniffing out drugs and tracking bad guys in the woods to being chased around the house by a one year old. Sheldon LOVES his puppy. I'm still trying to get video of this. It is priceless.

Well done thy good and faithful servant. Thanks for protecting the love of my life.

Blue & Gold Banquet

Tyler made a PBR pinewood derby truck and a PBR cake for the Blue & Gold Cake Decorating Contest. Yes, he is a bit obsessed with rodeos. The PBR was at the Tacoma Dome the same time as the banquet otherwise Chris and Tyler would have gone. Our family prefers the small town rodeos and we usually go to the Roy and Winthrop Rodeo every year. 

 Chris earned his Wood Badge. I think it is kind of like earning an Eagle Scout as an adult. All I really know is that it took a lot of work.

 Tyler is very proud of his dad and got to present him with his new neckerchief, slide, and beads.

 I am one proud Momma. Sheldon wore his FUTURE EAGLE SCOUT shirt that Tyler gave to him for his birthday.

I love having such an involved father, especially when I have three boys. He such an amazing role model.

Super Duper Fun!!!
