Ahhhh, so far behind..........

It was really February 18th the last time I posted??  We have kind of been on the crazy train around here.  We've had some pretty big events happen in the last couple of months, some fun and some pretty sad.  My uncle Freddy passed away in March, such a bummer but we know he is in a much better place.  It still doesn't really seem real at times.  I haven't taken a whole lot of pictures in the last couple of months because everything has just been a blur.  Here are some of the highlights:

My mom, sister and I went to a craft show in Pullman, WA.  It was my first "big" show with my own booth and it was awesome.  We had a great girls weekend away and we had a lot of fun.  

  Sawyer is loving preschool and is so sad it is ending here in the next couple of days.  He has become pretty good at coloring, which is saying a lot for the kid who hated coloring anything last year.
 Sawyer turned 5!!!!!  I can't believe it.  I hate to say it but it does go by really fast.  He wanted an Angry Birds birthday party, so we tried to build a tower to knock over.  It worked a few times but the kids were more interested in playing soccer, go figure.
 And of course we had the annual birthday Easter egg hunt.  The older the kids get the faster the eggs get picked up!
 We went to my parents house for Easter and they surprised Sawyer with another party!  He is spoiled rotten.  We had so much fun with cousin Mary and the family.
 This is my favorite picture.  We went to an Easter egg hunt at my parents and I went with Garrett.  That would be me carrying Garrett up the hill in front of all the other kids so he could get more eggs.  Pretty sure people were laughing at me.  I'm pretty bummed this was probably my last year getting to "help" with the egg hunts.
 Sawyer and Mary were pretty excited about their find.
 It has started to warm up around here in a big way.  It's crazy how hot it has been, we even have our sprinklers on!  We've been getting out and enjoying the nice weather.  This was a little hike we went on, the boys think they are great climbers.
 They were both trying to fit through the same rock, Garrett was getting so mad.
 Of course we had to take a family picture!
 Garrett is really fast on his bike theses days, he is actually flat out scary on his bike.  Sawyer is liking having someone to ride with and race.
 This is a common occurrence around here these days.  Garrett splits his lip more than any kid I know.  We made a quick trip the ER a couple of weeks ago because he tore his gums up so bad.  This was from racing his bike too fast, not sure how he landed on his lip?
 Sawyer has been dying to play in the sprinklers.  Luck for him they were on at the park the other day and I let him go for it.  He thought he was pretty hot stuff, then he realized I was right and maybe it wasn't as warm as he thought.  We went home shortly after this to get dry and put on sweatpants and snuggle in a blanket :)
The highlight of May so far has been the new camper we got!!!!  We've been talking about getting a camper for a couple of years now and I can't believe we actually bought one!  We got it last weekend and took it out last night for the maiden voyage.  Everyone had a great time and the camper was AWESOME!
 The boys "panned" for gold and Molly got to play in the water a little.  It's her birthday so we let her go crazy, it's going to be days before she can walk without gimping.
This picture is for my family, can you believe we actually cooked dinner in the camper????  We even had cinnamon rolls in the over for breakfast!
 The camp fire was warm and it was just great to be out of town for a bit, even it was just one night.  We had a friend come up with her kids and they all had so much fun roasting marsh mellows and jumping off rocks.
 Garrett and I's favorite part of the camper is the heater.  He was so happy to just stand next to it this morning.
 It's been crazy around here so it was a great relax on Mother's Day and enjoy all my boys.  Here is a great video of Sawyer dancing away!
