Happy Birthday Lauryn!

It's Lauryn's birthday today, but we celebrated it on Saturday. It was a beautiful day which allowed us to have the party outside. Lunch was fruit salad and quesadillas. Our activities included painting ladybug rocks, making spring pictures with puffy stickers and markers, and playing pin-the-dot on the ladybug. The kids also spent time playing on the play structure in front of Doug and Heidi's house. Thanks to all who helped make it a successful day.

Lauryn Funnies

I'm glad Lottie is such a gentle dog. Lauryn climbs all over her and calls her "baby".

A few nights ago we were having dinner with Peter's parents and Lauryn ate all her vegetables. When she told Grandma Heidi of her accomplishment, Heidi said, "Woohoo!" To which Lauryn replied, "Me".

Taylor and Lauryn's primary teacher got all the kids CTR bracelets. Lauryn was playing with hers the other day and asked, "Mommy, what does this says?" I said, "Choose the right." Without skipping a beat she said, "Oh, I want it to say choose the wrong."

Last night Lauryn and I were reading a book and she sneezed, then said, "Uh oh, I bless-youed on the book." She keeps us smiling.

Nature Hike

Last Friday I hiked up Wooley Creek with two friends. It was a beautiful day and the wildflowers were in bloom.

I loved the Fawn Lillies.

The trail begins with one, long, steep switchback and then levels off. Here's a downstream view of the Salmon River from the top of the climb.

After our hike we drove up the Salmon River Road to check out the latest slide. We couldn't get too close and my camera has a lousy zoom. The slide took out part of the road and made it all the way down to the river. Can you see it?
