So Monday we hiked up to Twin Falls in North Bend:
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:
Tuesday we went to the park and I tried to take fun pictures of the kids with lollipops...
Trey's idea:
But it turns out that even with yummy props the Beckham and Trevor don't like to pose for many pictures. Caeden, on the other hand, is a total poser:
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 :
Mrs. Cloud and the class:
Caeden found the play food and was in heaven. Looks like he has a great future career option -

Last week we realized we had missed Girl Scout cookies this year, so Carson found a recipe on http://www.gourmetmomonthego.com/2008/05/homemade-girl-scout-samoas.html. I made some shortbread cookies cut with the letter "O" cookie cutter and covered them with the coconut-caramel mixture from the recipe and melted chocolate... they were even better than the real thing! (name that album)
We recently reorganized the playroom closet and the boys discovered their dress-ups (AKA old Halloween costumes) - here's Caeden as Bumblebee:
And Trey and Becks as cowboy ninjas... or something.
We are kind of settling back into normal life now that Snoqualmie Falls Dental is up and running. Carson and I have been catching up on things around the house, and the boys seem to be a little more relaxed now that they see their dad once in a while. Hopefully it's all (okay, mostly) downhill from here!

Caeden is such a poser. I love it! Those cookies look SO yummy. I am glad to know that they turned out well, I saw that recipe before but I haven't tried it. It will be next on my list next time I have a sweet tooth.
Looks like you guys had a fun week! I can't wait to see pictures of all your flowers in bloom. I have a recipe for Samoas and Thin Mints but haven't tried them yet, I'm glad your recipe turned out so well. I'm excited that you're coming to run the Ragnar with us!
I don't believe that those cookies are better than the real thing... I think I will have to come and try them for myself! ;)
Fun update and I hope things do stay settled down for you guys. The cookies look so yummmy; I'll have to try that recipe out.
Looks like you guys are keeping busy. Loved the mascara pictures. Fun to see your dad and Spencer a few weeks ago. Hope they're getting some good weather.
