Easter

We started the Easter festivities at an egg hung in Lake Oswego with some friends. It was nice to have the area sectioned off by age, but it was still crazy!! The whole event lasted maybe 3 minutes and each kid was lucky to get one egg. Jalen didn't care - he had a blast and was just happy to see his friends. We then "hopped" over to an Easter egg hunt/party at Jalen's daycare. We had tons of fun and filled Jalen up with enough sugar that he crashed for a nearly 4 hour nap! We then joined our friends Chris and Catherine for brunch after church on Sunday.

And the race begins...poor kids, if you blinked you would have missed out.

Abby's Birthday & Baptism - we are proud God Parents!

We had a very eventful weekend in Boise! We celebrated Abby's 1st birthday (actual B-day: April 7) and baptism. Luckily we were in town long enough to see Ayden's first baseball game Saturday morning. He did an awesome job in all aspects of the game - we are very proud of him!! Devin and Annie hosted a great party at their house on Saturday night for Abby. I can't believe she is already one-year-old!!!! Skip and Linda then hosted brunch after the baptism on Sunday (I currently don't have a single picture of the actual baptism, but will be adding some soon).

Scott and I are so honored and excited to be Abby's new God Parents - thank you Devin and Annie for giving us this privilege!

Cousin Eric and Jalen discussing the "duck"

When little kids are involved - there is no concept of who's birthday it really is. Jalen and Ellie joined in and tested out each of Abby's new gifts.
