Spring has arrived!

 Easter egg decorating with the Hawkins.

 After a stop at Trader Joe's the Easter Bunny visited our house.

 The Easter bunny was kind enough to bring Mac and Ham some new sunglasses.

 Our day after Easter traditional egg hunt at Cameron and Jill's new house. The boys got to search for eggs with a backhoe.

 While the boys were at the farm Lachlan got mom all to himself for a change.

 We took a family trip to see the Spokane Chief's hockey team play at the arena.

 And finally the boys had the time of their lives at the farm now that the weather is nice and they can run wild outside.

 Feeding chickens with Papa Jeff.

 Mac loves to declare that he is tired an lay down wherever he happens to be at the time.

 The boys have been fighting like cats and dogs lately but I glanced outside to see Mac pushing Ham on the swing and it gave me hope that they'll be good buddies after all.

Happy Birthday Grandpa Scott

Shameless cute kid pics

Those who are not grandparents to these kids may want to stop reading now as you are not the target audience for these random cute pictures of the boys taken for no apparent reason.

 Here I am trying to take a nice picture of all three boys, no easy task as they are all professional wigglers!

Home Sweet Home

Ham sings a song for Grammy

My apologies to the grandparents, we've had very few photo ops lately since the boys have been sick for about two weeks and at the farm the week before that. We've been working like crazy to get the house in ship shape so we can put in on the market. Two weeks on craigslist has yielded about ten calls from realtors and one call from someone interested in seeing the house so we're off to a blazing start! Here are a few pics of what we've been up to lately.

Train building has been the activity of choice while stuck in the house.

Lachlan has busied himself learning to sit up,  chewing on his brothers toys and drooling.

Hamilton has decided that the window in his room is the best place  to play.

My cake decorating madness continues with my  donation to the scout auction. It looked good though I have no idea how they managed to slice it up to eat.

And finally a great trip to a little tea house to celebrate Emily's birthday. We took it upon ourselves to borrow the decorative hats from the shop to make the whole experience extra classy.

Grammy days

Hop on Pop by Hamilton Hatch

 Hamilton is all prepped for his first trip downtown with Cameron on the bus.

 The many joys of cardboard boxes.

 Grammy was in town last week for a visit and the boys lived it up with trips to the jumping place and the children's museum. 

 There were about six or seven inflatable play areas but the boys spent a good 45 minutes going down this slide over and over.

 Finally, Hamilton is following in his fathers footsteps with his use of strange hair products. Here he decided that his hair would be a great napkin for the hummus on his hands.
