Skiing

 HA.. don't mess with these girls!
I think it was the last weekend in April Jordan took the girls up skiing for their first time.  They went to white pass I believe.  I wasn't sure how they were going to like it but they loved it.  Jordan is happy about this.  He rented them some gear and signed them up for a class.  The weather turned out to be really nice as well.  Not too cold.

Emma going up while Dottie is coming down.  They can't wait to go up again..  probably not till next season though.  Think we are going to get them some roller blades until then. 

Birthday

 Jordan turned 31 this year.  Not sure why we don't have any more pictures than this.  We celebrated all week that week it seemed like.  HA..  The weekend before we headed down to Vancouver and had a little party then on Mother's day Jordan and I left the kids with my mom and went to Reno for the week.  Jordan had a class he was taking and I just went along for fun.  We had a great time. 
Cooper finishing off his cake...  he is so cute!

Soccer

 We signed the girls up again for soccer this year!  They LOVED it.
 I was taking pictures this day and I don't know how to use Jordan's camera very well.  I usually just set it to automatic but for some reason didn't.. so they are not the best pictures... as in they are all very blurry dang it. 

Dottie after the ball.
 Dottie really stepped it up this year.  She did amazing and we were very proud of her.  She scored two goals this season.
 Emma did great as well.  She didn't get any goals but she was a great defender.

The last game our coach had something else going on so she asked Jordan to fill in.  He loved it ...  He thinks he might actually volunteer next year.  The girls did great.. This was about the only day that we had nice weather.. But it doesn't seem to bother them while they are playing.

Easter

 We got up early Saturday morning before Easter and headed up to my Brother's house up north.  We were trying to make it in time for the Easter egg hunt by their house.

Here is Melia, Dottie and Kyla waiting for their turns.


Love this picture of Cooper.  He has the best smile.
 I wasn't sure how Cooper would handle the Easter egg hunt.. but he LOVED it.  He made a haul and just kept going.  We had to stop him because he was just dragging his full bucket around.



Here is Dottie with her loot.
 It turned out to be such a nice day out side.  Here are the girls all dressed up playing outside together.  While they were doing this some of us Adults went running.  My dad wanted to run a 5K.. So we did.  My first non official 5K.  I did it.  That is all I have to say about that and I am glad we don't have pictures to show it.
 After they had been playing outside they came in to find that the Easter Bunny had snuck in and left them some prizes.
 Cooper was just happy to have Chocolate. 
Looks like he enjoyed it.

 Sunday Morning they got to decorate Bunny Buns that Aunt Laura had made for them.  Thanks Laura.
 We also had a very nice Easter Brunch before Church. 
 Dressed up for Church in their new Easter outfits.  This is the best we could get.  Cooper was very tired.



My beautiful girls.  Yes that is chocolate around Dottie's lips.

spring break cont.

 I finally got around to getting these off of my camera.  I took off with my mom and dad over spring break to St. George, Utah to visit family.  We had a short but good trip.  Cooper did a pretty good job on the plane ride.  While we were there we made a trip over to Washington to visit the grave site of Grandpa and Grandma Mills.  Sorry not the best pictures of everybody but it was all I got.  We got to visit with my Uncle Robert and Aunt Neoma too.
 This was pretty much Coopers attitude the whole time there.  I got that look a lot.  After this picture though we let him down to run around and he had a great time. 
Cooper and I with my Grandpa and Grandma Truman.  We had a very good visit with them.  It was their first time meeting Cooper.  I am very glad I was able to make the trip and hope to be able to get Jordan and the girls down there soon.

Dottie's birthday




She is FIVE!  She is so excited to be five.  Chocolate chip pancakes to start the day.
 Opening a prize from mom and dad.
 We had a very last minute birthday party.  She was all about the pony's this year..  So here is my attempt at a pony cake!



We colored My Little Pony pictures.
  We played games!
  


We ate pizza.




 We opened prizes!



We ate cake and ice cream.
And we played outside.  It was a great little party and Dottie said it was the best so that is all that matters!

Spring Break Fun

 For spring break we kind of split up.  I headed to St. George Utah with Cooper and Jordan stayed at his parents house with the girls.  I need to still get my pictures off my camera from Utah but here are pictures of what Jordan and the girls were up to.

Jordan trying to take a picture of Dottie and Leah jumping in.  HA.






My beautiful girls!




Hanging out at Lewisville park in Battle Ground, WA
 I think the highlight of the week.. gather the eggs from the chickens.  They loved doing this and still are talking about it.
 Testing out the new gun Jordan bought them.  I think they liked it.




Hanging out with cousins. 
Celebrating birthday's!  The girls sure had fun spending time at Grandma and Grandpa's house!
