Bex has been pushing us to take him out to ride his bike all winter long. Now that the weather has gotten a little warmer and things are a little less crazy for us we couldn't put him off any longer. On his first try, first push without training wheels...
of all things...he said, "Let go Dad, I can do it myself!"
The county recently added a pathway near our home to the greenbelt that surrounds our development. The kids have also been pushing us to go for walks in the "forest." Again, we coudn't resist any longer. They are afraid we will get lost in the "forest" though or run into dangerous bears!
The only sign of life we saw were some deer and elk tracks.
Caeden did his usual jumping tricks.
It has snowed like 6-7 times this past month. We thought we moved to Seattle to get away from that. All I can say is bring on Global Warming, we need it here in Seattle!
Now that things have gotten back to normal we are excited to start on the yard again. Last year was mainly focused on putting in a fence, grass, topsoil, a few bushes, some huge rocks and a few bulbs.
I found a website that sells foods from various countries in Latin America. I was so excited to get some Argy food that I haven't had since going back with Marisa in 2001. It was great!
Caeden loves to pose for the camera, we have to sneak it up on the other boys. They were just as against the camera when they were the same age that Caeden is now so we hope he stays as positive about it as the others stayed negative. Its hard to want to take so many photos and not have subjects for them. We are a couple hundred pictures away from the 11,000 mark on our computer. That is after my nazi deletion tendency. We delete about 50% of what we take. I got my first digital camera in 1999 when we were married. It was a 1 megapixel Agfa and I was so excited. I edited those original pictures on Photoshop elements version 1. Things have come a long way.
Trey very excited for Crazy Hair day at school.
All the moms had toddlers on their backs:
What is it with boys and sticks?
At the end I let Caeden out for a bit and Beckham held his hand:
Trey's idea:
On Wednesday we went to my mom's house and divided her perennials so we could load up our trunk full of plants for our bare back yard! My mom told Beckham and Trey she'd pay them "a penny a pinecone" to clean up her yard. They worked hard and filled their bags with 750 pinecones! 
They were pretty excited to earn $7.50!
Thursday we stayed home and had some friends over, and Caeden found my mascara:
I told you, he's such a poser. Last week Beckham had his Easter activity for preschool :
