Spring Time

Lots of fun spring activities have been happening around here! Due to the terrible, yucky, windy spring weather we have had to just pretend it is spring - I think we are doing a good job.
First the Ace's home opener! With lots of candy, 5 toddlers lasted until the post game fireworks at almost 11pm...awesome! They had to wake us up to drive them home though...ha :)



About a month ago we took an adult only trip to Napa with our friends. The lovely spring weather and about 5ft of snow meant we got stuck over the pass for an extra day, and it rained the entire day in Napa. But that didn't stop us from having an awesome time with friends. It was so relaxing and a much needed break from the kiddos.




Last weekend we pretended it was summer and went on a one night camping trip to Washoe Lake State Park. It was actually a really nice day, but the wind picked up at night and we had to leave in the morning. This was a great little campground. We did lots of biking and hiking on the sand dunes. Brocks favorite thing was playing hide and seek in the sage brush that surrounded our campsite. One thing we love about Reno is being able to venture just miles from our house for great camping.

Signs of Spring

Just a sweet story:

Brock and I were going through the park the other day and I pointed out some big gardens of daffodils. I said, 'Brock, look at the daffodils, they are so beautiful' and he replied, 'I just love the signs of spring'.

Enjoy the signs of spring on the this beautiful day!

The Beach

Cory got a last minute week off of work and so we headed to the beach! Cory, the boys, and my folks were there for almost a week and I was just there on the weekend...somebody has to work around here :) Just kidding, Cory works harder than anyone I know and so deserves a week off! I enjoyed my couple days in our quite house with no boys! The empty house was strange, but very enjoyable I must say. The weather at the beach was epic...70s and 80s....ahhhhhhh....bring it on! Theo and Brock spent hours running on the beach, yelling, digging, chasing birds and finding crabs.



Finding sand crabs was the highlight of the trip! Brock hunted for sand crabs for hours.
