Children's Garden Egg Hunt

Today was the egg hunt at Children's Garden...we have attended the egg hunt the last 3 years for Emi and this year Emi is an alum.  It's fun to see Kenzi at her school.

Listening to Bonnie, she always begins these events with such a warm welcome.

Emi, Kenzi, Tate, Kasen, Nathan 

2 alums, 2 current bugs and one future bug!

Kenzi's First t-ball Practice/Game

Kenzi had her first t-ball practice and game (they practice and then play a game right after).

Kenzi wasn't so sure about playing t-ball today but she does a great job hitting the ball and shows interest at home...hopefully after a few more practices she'll become less timid.

Oh I almost forgot to mention...she has the best coach!  Daddy!!!

Erich is so patient and encouraging, he loves sharing his love of sports with Kenzi (and Emi too).

Four Friend

Auntie Corey offered to take the girls for a quick playdate yesterday {thank you!!!}

They had a blast of course!!!  These 4 are really a fun bunch!

Portland with the Emiley's

We indulged in a kid-free weekend with the Emiley's this weekend!  {Thanks to Auntie Jeanie and Uncle Marc for taking the girls for the whole weekend!}  We had such a wonderful time in Portland with this lovely couple.

Cheers!  To the best way to start a road trip with Emily!
{Thanks guys for driving and navigating!}


After checking in {The Benson Hotel} we headed to Tasty n Alder for drinks and dinner.

Here we are the first night!  We had a delicious meal {duck duck potatoes, mussels, seared scallops and more!}


The next day the guys ventured off on their bikes to for various beers.  Emily and I shopped and shopped and shopped and  then finally we ate at Maurice's the cutest french luncheonette!  We had the fluffiest quiche and the most delicate butter cookies with tea of course!


We ended at Clyde and Common for dinner and took advantage of the 3 course meal event.

My entree choice: trout    Erich went with the pork belly


The next morning was beautiful {again} and it was warm enough to sit outside and indulge in one more fabulous meal at Cheryl's before heading home.


Portland you were good to us!  Beautiful weather, delicious food, and we came with the best company!  We will be back!
