Papa got a 4 wheeler that Ryan gets to ride through the mud pit. It was very muddy and kept getting stuck. They had a lot of fun getting dirty without getting in trouble.
Kayli even adventured for a ride, but didn't like to get muddy like the boys.
Ryan figured out if he kept he speed up, he could usually get through.
It's not very often we are all together dressed up before church to get a picture. Here we are at Colville for Easter Weekend.
Ashlyn is pretty picky when it comes to food. But one thing that she loves are root beer floats. Daddy is a good sport and shares his root beer mug with her. She is pretty quick and gets her share of the float.
We got to go to the Seattle Zoo with John's brother Joe and his family, his sisters Michele & Lisa and their kids. It was typical Seattle weather; rained on us off and on the whole day, but we had lots of fun getting to see the animals and spending time with family. 
The cousins had a great time together. 
For spring Break we took the kids to Seattle. We went to the Seattle Zoo, Aquarium, Science Center, Space Needle, a Harbor Tour, & Pikes Market. It was a lot of fun. 
We wanted to take the kids to eat somewhere that we can't eat at in Spokane, so we splurged at took them to Benihinas. The kids loved getting to see our chef cook in front of us tossing knives, turnovers, flipping shrimp tails on to our plates, juggling an egg. It was a lot of fun!!!
Kayli & her best friend Brooklin had a birthday party together at Jump-N-Party. Their birthday's are one day apart and wanted to have a party together. They had a lot of fun with their friends!! Happy 5th Birthday! 
Since we have moved into this house, I wanted to have an office with lots of storage for all my misc. projects, papers, etc. I finally got custom cabinets that I love!!! Thanks to my wonderful husband for installing them and letting me get them :-) The kids can be in here doing things with me and we have lots of space. 
"It's hard to move and walk with all this stuff on!"
It was a beautiful Christmas Eve in Colville.
Ryan got left behind in the snow. Kayli thought it was pretty cool when she stayed on and her brother fell off.
Once again, Ryan trying to get back on.
Even Ashlyn and I having fun on the 4-wheeler in the snow.
The girls in the snow fort.
Here's Ryan bowling. He beat my score!!!
John trying to focus, strike, strike, strike.
Kayli pushing her ball down.
These gifts were the hit of Christmas. Danny (my brother-left) got a nerf shotgun, Jeff (my brother-in-law -middle) got a mini-marshmellow shooter, & Ryan (right) got this huge nerf gun, almost bigger than him. John got a nerf gun just like Ryan. The "BOYS" had way too much fun running around the house and in the new addition with the loft shooting each other. You might think that Jeff and the mini-marshmellow shooter might be at the disadvantage, but this ended up being one of the better weapons!!! Ryan had such a great time!
I had to get John one just like this, otherwise noone would be able to shoot back!
Kayli got a purple leapster explorer. "Purple" so her brother wouldn't try and claim it as his own.
Kayli waiting to open her first present while waiting for everyone to wake up. It was 6:30 am and the adults without kids thought it was too early to be up.
Here's all our kids with Santa. This was at RiteCare's Christmas Party.
Santa was pulled by a firetruck through our neighborhood. Thanks to Santa & all the firefighters who helped Santa get around.
