Hiking "little" Si

Before we started the hike

(5/28/2011) We decided one day that we should take the kids on a hike so we loaded up in the Swagger wagon and went. Awhile back we purchased a book from Costco on hikes in our state. We decided on Little Mt. Si because I have hiked Mt. Si and I don't think the kids would have made it. I usually am the picture taker so

I decided to snap my own shot

The trail was pretty muddy and about halfway up we decided to go back because I didn't want to get stuck up there with whiny cranky kids ;o)Look real close and Tay is crying, such a girl.

On the way down it was pretty slippery and started to rain but we had fun doing a family activity together.

T-ball

Jared decided to play another sport so he chose T-ball and LOVED it!!!! He a
has a really good arm and bats left handed. Hmmm maybe he will take care of Jon and I once he makes it in the Big Leagues :)
He signed up with his friend across the street from us and even though the practices were out by Cheney Stadium we were glad that he was able to play with the Jr. Mariners and his coach was AWESOME!!!! These pictures were taken earlier in the season when it stayed dry. They had quite a few rain outs with our CrAzY weather this year but the smile on his face says it all he had a BLAST!!!

I can't BELIEVE she's 5!!

I cannot believe my daughter turned 5 this week!! She wanted a Tangled themed party and since I dabble at making cakes etc.. I made one with the green meadow and the tower. Here is her table spread.

A couple of months ago I purchased a Tangled play vanity and it came with blonde hair extensions, how cute!

The cake before I added the ivy, flowers and the lake. This idea came out of my head one night having a dream crazy huh?

The finished product

Graduation from Preschool

I can't believe my little girl has graduated from preschool! She is a hoot!! She had so much fun learning from Miss Alaina and is super excited to start Kindergarten.
