Spring Fun

Cooking with Ryzen

Question: Why is there so much geese poo in our backyard?
Answer:  

Leprechaun Hotel
Aria built a Leprechaun hotel out of blocks upstairs.  

The next morning when she got up she say the Leprechaun payed for his stay in gold coins. Pretty cool.

Big Z turns 7
We had a party for Zade at Papa's Pizza, where he invited his entire 1st grade class.  Around 6 kids were able to make it, and he had a fun time running around.

The next day we celebrated again at Grandma and Grandpa C's house.  They were so kind as to get him a magnet dart board.

Zade enjoyed having back to back celebrations.

One of Nova's interesting sleeping positions
She started sitting up straight with her legs crossed, and then slumped forward. That's a flexible little girl.

Hamsters
Aria has been begging Tara for a hamster, so she got one for her birthday.  She named the little girl "Mabel." Mabel is very active at night, and is reasonably well behaved.


Aria's drawings
Aria found some videos on YouTube showing how to draw cartoon girls, and now she's taken off and draws similar drawings all time all by herself.

Spring Break
For Spring Break we took the kids up to Portland.  Tara and I each did a session at the temple, and we took the kids to Salt and Straw, where we each got a unique flavor of ice cream.  Aria got Lavender Honey, Zade got Pot O Gold (basically lucky charms in ice cream), Tara got Salted Truffle, and I got Strawberry ice cream with pepper.  They were all strange and delicious.


 We also went to McMinville and met up with Kari and her girls at the Waterpark in the Air Museum.  Aria and Audrey went down the massive water slides at the top of the building, which literally take you down the emergency shoots of an airplane.


There was also a fun air-themed playground outside that the kids enjoyed playing on.
