March Happenings

Instead of having a post for each individual even, I decided to just have one post to tell about our March. March has been a busy month for us, probably the busiest month we have had in a long time. Travis has been to New York two times, Seattle, and Atlanta all within the month. I went to Utah with Bryn for 5 days and our family went to San Francisco for Spring Break. In between the many trips we have had swimming lessons, field trips, soccer, Jake's birthday, a trip to the zoo, and St. Patrick's Day. Here are a few of our favorite pictures from this month. (I will have 2 separate posts of our trips, too many pictures.)

Sydney is taking swimming lessons with 3 of her friends; Paige Pearl and Chelsea. (Chelsea is not in the picture, she is in the pool with the teacher.)

Portland Zoo with the Howes Family

Every one's favorite animal at the zoo, El Tigre.

Jake took this of the hippo, he thought it was awesome.

The hyenas are kind of creepy.

St. Patrick's Day

My friend, Carrie, always does something cute for her kids on St. Patrick's Day so at the last minute I decided to do something for my kids. The last 2 years Jake has made a trap to catch a leprechaun but those leprechauns are pretty tricky. When Jake woke up in the morning he found a note on the trap and then a trail of coins leading downstairs to the refrigerator where he found green milk and a box of Lucky Charms.

Jake's note to the leprechaun. In the trap was money and a picture of a rainbow with a pot of gold.

(Thanks for the idea Carrie! You are so creative!)

Jake was thrilled and truly amazed that the leprechaun turned the milk green.

Sydney had a great day at preschool with a St. Patrick's Day party and an all green lunch.
