Easter Fun










We had a great Easter weekend! Saturday was gorgeous outside, so we spent the morning walking the Nisqually Delta. Landon promptly fell asleep in the backpack, and Jim and I enjoyed a nice long walk. After that it was lunch at Meconi's for some sandwiches and then the Olympia Farmer's Market. My dad came over for dinner that night and brought strawberry shortcake! After Landon went to bed, Jim and I enjoyed a nice fire on the deck before calling it a night.


Today, Easter, was wet and a little cold, but we had a great time. We took a morning drive to Starbucks, took mid-morning naps and then went down to my Aunt Cindy's house in Olympia to celebrate with family. My mom and almost all of my cousins were there with their kids and we played, ate way too much, and hunted for eggs. (Landon found one of two eggs with a $5 bill in in!) It was so special to see Landon having such a great time with my mom (Grandma Terry) and the rest of our family. He was exhausted by the time we left, but he explored every inch of that house, played with everyone, was introduced to the dogs and chickens, and was spoon fed cake and whipped cream from cousin Casey. Tonight is quiet as we get ready for the work week, but what a great day!

Hoppy Easter!



My favorite little bunny made me an Easter card at school. His teacher said that they had to take several pictures before they got this one. He had no interest in wearing the ears.


April has been a good month for us so far, except for trading illnesses. Poor Landon has had ear infection, after ear infection and pink eye three times. He's such a trooper though...he just rolls with it and never lets it affect his spirit. I am battling strep throat right now, boo. I'm trying so hard to stay away from Landon (I can't stand not smooching him) so that he doesn't get sick.


We went to the Spring Fair last weekend and had a really good time. The sun was finally shining, we had some good food, got to pet some sweet animals and had a good time people watching. Landon wasn't really interested in the traditional "fair food" but he had two helpings of couscous samples. Silly boy.


I can't wait for some consistent sunny weather so that we can take the camper out and enjoy the beautiful Northwest. We hit up a sale at REI and I got some new hiking boots that I'm excited to try out.


Jim and I have discovered Words With Friends on our phones and have been battling it out, which is super fun. Yes, we are nerds.


That's about it. Fun times in Taylorville!
