14, 4th place and other stuff

This is a very dark picture but it will have to do. Drew placed 4th at her gymnastics State meet on Friday night. Very exciting. She is long and lean and looks more like a ballerina but she does well at gymnastics. It was a very LONG meet on Friday night but fun to watch.

Ok, I can't believe that my firstborn is 14. What the heck happened? Am I really 41 and he's 14? He went on a hike to Mt. Si with Darren and the scouts on his birthday and later went to a movie with Darren and Spencer. No more Rescue Heroes, matchbox cars or GI Joe's. He just wanted a multi-tool gadget and a pair of Vans.

Spring skiing


I was a bit surprised when Katie Knopf suggested that we bring our swimsuit tops to go skiing. It hasn't been that warm up skiing this year, but we brought them just in case. After our first run in the slush we had sweat dripping everywhere so we thought it might be fun to try. It really was a beautiful day, and we couldn't even get up enough speed (due to slow slushy snow) to crash if we tried, so we braved the swimsuit idea. No gloves, no coats, no goosebumps! Really, I was surprised at how warm it was.

On the drive home, just outside of Sultan, is this tiny chapel. I've always wanted to stop and see what it's about. So we did.

Easter

Easter was spent at Bub's an Jo's house. The kids had fun hunting for eggs and the dogs had fun playing.


Mac and Holly
George did his best to keep up.
So tired after a long day of playing.
George and Holly have become very good friends.
