Space Cadet

Last night I went to tuck the boys into bed like I do every night before I go to bed and this is what I found.......


Grant fell asleep wearing a baseball helmet. When I saw him I just had to laugh because he looked so cute! So this morning I told him how I found him in bed last night and he seemed a little embarrassed.  I then asked him why he was wearing the helmet and he told me that he was playing "space" with his stuffed animals while in bed. He was pretending to be on a  spaceship!! I  just love kids imaginations!!

A day at the beach

Last Friday was such a beautiful day and the boys had a half day at school so I decided to pull them out early from school and take them to the beach up at Whidbey Island.  We don't get very many really nice days here in the Spring so I had to take advantage!!  Also, my mom was up at my Grandmas beach house working so we had somewhere to hang out.
Luke, me and my Mom mostly hung out on the deck while the older boys played on the beach.
The tide was out so the boys had fun exploring the tide pools and digging in the sand for treasures!  As we were sitting on the deck we saw a couple of bald eagles fly overhead then they landed on the sand not to far from us. There was one adult bald eagle and then one yearling eagle. It was neat to see them fly so gracefully through the air and to see how big they really are, their wing span is amazing!
It was a wonderful day at the beach and the boys had so much fun! Needless to say they all slept really well that night :)
