Lacey and Luke's First Date

 A couple of weeks ago we had a BBQ and movie night at our friends' house.  They have 3 boys, Levi, Luke and Liam, who are all very close in age to our kiddos.  Lacey and Luke were so cute playing together I couldn't help but pretend it was like a little date.

Going for a little drive.

Stopping to swing and play

Dinner together - at one point Lacey fed Luke but I didn't get it in time

Topping the night off with 'Tangled'

Benjamin ended up staying over for his first non-family sleepover. Aside from the boys staying up til 11 or so, I heard it went very well. We all had lots of fun...thanks Renee and Lando!

Lake Chelan

Last week we had an awesome time spending a week in Lake Chelan.  We use our time share to stay at a place right on the lake.  It rained for the first part of the trip (a local who has lived there 7 years said it's the first time he's ever seen 3 days of rain in a row there - oy) but the weather was beautiful for the second half of the week when Brian's parents joined us.  Below are some photos highlighting our adventure.

We stopped in Leavenworth on the way to and from Chelan to have lunch .

There just happened to be a traveling carnival next to where we were staying when we arrived. The roller coaster obviously brought out my inner child. Benjamin and Lacey played a few games and won some prizes. 

Throwing rocks with Daddy

Since it was raining out, we took the kids bowling.  Both Benjamin and Lacey bowled strikes!

Being silly at the condo

That's about as far as anyone got in the lake...it was freezing!

As you can see, Heidi liked the sand...a little too much

Dinner at our favorite BBQ place the night Gma and Gpa arrived

We took many trips to the pool, both indoor and outdoor. Benjamin was finally comfortable enough in the water this year to hang out on his floaty. Heidi and Lacey rotated in and out of the sit in one because Lacey was a little scared of her regular floaty.

Our last day in the pool we finally got her in her floaty but she had to hang on to either me or Gma. I'm not sure if she was just really tired or being silly but she was pretty much like this the whole time. Don't worry, Gma is right next to her, holding on to her waist :)

Easter 2011

 For Easter this year, we did two celebrations.  As suggested by one of my MOPS presenters, we had the egg hunt and candy on Sat so we could focus on the Resurrection on Sunday.  It worked out great, especially since it was sunny on Sat and rainy on Sun.  After church on Sun, we headed down to Tacoma for brunch with Brian's family then to Grandma and Grandpa Jorgenson's to spend some time with Peanut (the cat) since she's getting up there in age.
