Twinkle, twinkle little star

LOVE this boy!!!  He has about 5 or 6 songs that he sings to me every night while I snuggle him in his bed.  If I try to join in, he usually says "No, stop Mommy" and then starts over again! ;)

Nana and Boppa's for Easter

 

 We arrived at Nana and Boppa's house in Bend for the second half of spring break, and Isaiah was so excited to sleep upstairs with his sisters for the first time!!  He was so excited that he didn't go to sleep until 11:00 for the first 3 nights!  Does he look tired to you??!!

 Hannah was so sweet to fall asleep next to him the second night...She kind of had him trapped in the bed until he fell asleep!

 Isaiah loved watching the basketball tournament with Boppa!  He kept asking about his hoop at home and even asked Daddy if he would bring it on the airplane with him....Boppa gave in and bought Isaiah a hoop to play with in Bend :)  Isaiah is still talking about the hoop that Boppa bought for him!

 Isaiah helping Nana with a project...

 LOVES his basketball!!!

 Sunny day downtown Bend for some ice cream and baseball in the park...

We got to love cousin, Cole, for a couple of days...

An Easter egg hunt in the grocery store was a first!  There were more eggs than the kids could stack in their big buckets!!!

 Easter morning, Nana had some special treats for the kids...

 Along with the candy-filled eggs, they found the 12 Resurrection eggs and each told a part of the Easter story...

We had a great time with family in Bend and then stopped in Portland on the way home and played at Safari Sam's to break up the drive.  We met up with Aunt Molly and Rob to climb and play for a while before heading back to Seattle.

We only traveled with one binky, and lost it on the 3rd night we were in Bend, so Isaiah was able to be done with his binky over the weekend and really only asked once where it was!  We also finished up potty training, which worked well with Nana and Boppa's wood floors for any clean-ups (Sorry, mom!)  Isaiah hasn't had an accident since we got home, though!!  It was quite a big weekend of growing up for our little guy!

Spring break with the Big Girls :)

We got to spend the first half of spring break with DD, Monica (CaCa as Isaiah calls her!) and their friend, Regan!  It was awesome to have 3 teenage helpers everywhere I went....and we went lots of places!!

 

 The girls and I had a fun night out in the U District for shopping, people watching, chai tea from Cedars, and an improve comedy show!

 The seven kids and I rode the bus down to Pike's Market to wander around and get hot donuts and gelato :)

 We did a chocolate tour in Fremont, learning about the factory and eating LOTS of chocolate!  The best part was the hair nets we all got to wear!

 Downtown Seattle on a beautiful day!

 The "smolder" :)

 More hair nets....Isaiah even kept one on in the backpack!

Riding the bus into Seattle with this crazy crew!

We also made it to Bellevue Square and Southcenter Mall for some shopping and dessert at Rainforest Café.....We packed in the fun during our 4 days!!

Early spring pics...

Fun day with our neighbors at the reptile museum...

 I can't believe that all 4 of our kids will hold a snake!  I stayed far away!!

 Our first lemonade stand of the year....the warm jackets should be a sign that it is a bit early!

 Ready to take on the neighborhood....

 with his sisters!
