at least he waited for olive to bring pillows

the priests had a cake bake off in our kitchen

it was quite the mess to clean the next day

jude is pretty savvy with the switch and plays it better than i could

cleaning the coop feels like home after growing up on a little farm

jude found his first rollie pollie

date night to a wedding reception

jude was in a mood but it was st patricks day and i made them matching ties and me and the girls matching skirts

michael made pies for a belated pie night at our friends' house

library and the park with the boys

noah came home sick from school but wasn't really very sick so i left him to watch the boys

and snuck in a pedicure and it was amazing

i made myself a romper

i bought this outfit for 10 cents a piece in pullman a long time ago and jude is the 5th baby to wear it

i moved the kids around and noah was very happy to have his own room again

first day of spring means sandals and matching cute outfits

watching twilight in our matching nightgowns

making cookies for his party

opening presents early because we were traveling on his birthday

henry had a mario party with lots of his friends

we bought henry the new spiderman movie and watched it that night

cuddles

spring break trip to the library and pizza at the park but it was freezing so we didn't last long

henry decided to use his birthday money to pay for a children's museum punch card pass

we brought eleanor and jude with us for our first trip

they all loved it

doing the dishes without being asked because eleanor is an angel

i can't believe how old this kid is getting! he shaved for the first time recently, is getting braces and becoming a teenager!!! 

spring break relaxing

cartoons

chalk

red robin for an early birthday dinner for henry

we finished this puzzle in just a couple days which meant we stayed up late every night that week

henry's 5th birthday!!! doughnuts on our way to washington

our car broke down in yakima right as we pulled into a gas station

we got it towed to a dealership

so i killed a few hours in target with the kids

in ghetto yakima 

with a creepy guy following us around

cute kiddies despite their mom being super stressed

hanging in the food court waiting for michael

we sang happy birthday at mcdonalds while we waited for the car to be finished

getting a new fuel pump (which we later learned was not the cause of the problem)

we finally made it to my parents house much later than anticipated

and could finally address the gum henry got in his hair several hours prior

grandma's helper

henry has never been as happy as he was getting his first motorcycle ride

cute mama

our car died again on our way up to hurricane ridge

discussing what to do about our car

and how we should get home

we drove our car with 4 kids and minimal stops

it was a way more stressful trip than we would have liked but at least we got to see family
