Spring Time . . .

  We are hot and heavy into spring things around here. Both kids are in baseball, I find myself continually mowing, the hay field is begging to be cut, and the days are long! I'm loving it!! I officially have summer fever and it is ALL I can do to send the kids to school each day. 18 more days of school until summer break. It seems like eternity. 

A little catch up since the snow storm (again I can't figure out how these pictures keep getting mixed up when they download. So they are all out of order. Sorry!):

Jordan and I got to go to Puerto Vallarta in early April. 

It was an incredible vacation. We went with my cousin and another 

couple. This was my room service breakfast on the first morning.  

Here is Quade all ready to help fix my parents

barn after a tree hit the roof in the snow storm.

The kids left the Easter Bunny a little treat

Andi is weighing a whopping 170 pounds these days and

she still thinks she's a little puppy. 

So this was happening while we were in Mexico. 

Flooding of 2019!

This is our paddle boat floating freely

Evening shooting fun

Quade got his toy box finished by Uncle Tyler.

Jordan's grandpa made him and his siblings toy boxes

when they were little and then started making the 

great grandkids toy boxes too. He had made Austyn one

before he passed away and then Jordan's brother finished

Quade's for him for his Birthday. 

Jordan competed in the Seattle Stair Climb again this year. He did

amazing as usual. 

Austyn CHOPPED her hair off.

St. Patricks Day's outfits

Jordan has been adding on to the playhouse and the kids

have been such good helpers. 

Spring Break!!! 

I love Oregon spring break. Raincoats and rubber boots.

Tarp city

This was the key to endless food and drinks on our vacation.

I love all inclusive resorts

The weather was perfect and our resort was perfect.

Everything was perfect. 

We got to parasail. 

Classic tourist 

I had NO idea there were alligators there

Everyone helping on the roof

Easter Egg hunt at Hentze's 

Look at the spread they left for the Easter Bunny. 

They left him little salads in cupcake papers and 

a cupcake for him to eat if he wanted something sweet.

Rust family picture. This is who we always did Easter

with growing up. 

Quades most recent snake find. I love that he's not afraid 

of them. 

  Austyn and Quade are doing great in school and are both doing outstanding in baseball. It fills my heart with happiness to watch them play. They are both so ready for summer and all the fun things that go along with that. Like camping, fishing, hay season, swimming, camping in the backyard, etc. 

  Jordan is getting ready to start building the shop. It will be so nice for him to have a shop to work in.  He has been building the kids a huge addition to the playhouse. It is quite impressive to see. He is always busy with something.

  I have been working at the school this past month doing all the state testing for the kids. I actually really enjoy it. I'm excited to get some flowers and put out around our house. First summer with concrete and it's going to be fun to add decorations to it. We repainted the patio furniture and it looks so nice. I had a wonderful Mother's Day. Jordan and the kids took me to wildlife safari and then to get some hanging baskets. All in all it was a glorious day. I hope everyone is doing great and looking forward to summer as much as we are.
