easter weekend

 On Saturday afternoon, we gathered at my parent's house to celebrate Easter.  We dyed eggs, ate dinner & had an egg hunt.


 The Murphy-Hecht family came down from Portland.  It's become a tradition to have their family join us for Easter.


 Cedar really enjoyed dying eggs this year.


 Focused kids!


 Taking his time.


 Looks like Kenton took a turn with the camera.  ;)


 Littlest cousin, Megan, with Aaron.


 My contribution to the Easter feast.


 On to the egg hunt!


 The kids were told to find up to a certain number of eggs & then stop looking, to let everyone get a fair share.  ;)


 Someone was too old to dye eggs but not too old to hunt for them!  :P


 Checking out his eggs.


 Quick pause for a photo.  :)


 Yummy DQ ice cream cake, made by Becca.

18 1/2 weeks!  Almost halfway through this pregnancy.

evergreen aviation & space museum

 We didn't plan any big trips for Spring Break this year, but we took advantage of our Science Factory memberships & took a road trip to the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum!


 The boys were pretty good sports, as we walked through all the aviation exhibits.


 Such a big kid!


 Cedar & I enjoyed taking multiple breaks in the airplane seats that were strategically placed around the museum.  :)


 Kenton was probably the most excited to see the planes.  ;)


 Littlest pilot.


 Blurry shot, but these guys were impressed with the real missile!  At least, I think that's what it was.  :P


 Gotta love the planes & space shuttles you can sit inside!


 And the free airplane ride was definitely a hit!


 Cedar was ready to have his photo taken!


What a fun day!  We left the museum & went to IKEA to pick out some new accessories & lamps...mostly for the baby room, but some things for around the house.  The boys stayed in the children's play area for the first time & they LOVED it!  Plus they got to eat for free during (for Spring Break!), so that was a bonus.
