The bunny was supposed to go back to preschool today. I traded my carpool day, loaded the kids, the bunny, the bunny supplies and picked up our carpool buddy Reece. When I arrived at the university I noticed that the campus seemed very quiet. There was not anybody dropping kids off at preschool. I quickly came to the conclusion that the university must still be on Spring break. Was a week off of school not enough? They had to tack on an extra day?? What school does that??? Has anyone ever heard of that before???? The preschool really should have enlightened those of us who went to the type of university that only gives one week off for spring break and not one week and one day! At least it wasn't just me who got it wrong... Reece's Mom was under the same assumption that school would start again today. So we were lucky enough to keep the bunny for eleven days instead of just ten. Enough blogging for now - Guitar Hero is calling my name. Now I have to figure out a way to get the guitar away from Tyler.

Kolby had his last ski lesson on Saturday. Tyler and I were able to go and ski on Saturday so we were able to see how Kolby has improved. I am happy to report that he is doing great! We were very surprised at how well he is doing. He is in control and he can get down a run faster than me. This is an improvement I am not happy about!!

Addie has been waiting and waiting for her turn to bring the bunny home from preschool. The kids take turns bringing home the bunny for the weekend. Lucky for us, we get the bunny for ten days because it is Spring Break. I told Addie she could not take the bunny out of the cage until her Dad came home from work. After about a hour I could not take her constant begging any longer. I relented and let her play with the bunny outside of the cage. She is in heaven playing with the bunny. However, the bunny does not seem to be that social and keeps on trying to get back in the cage. This will be our first Easter with a real bunny.

We really enjoyed our trip to Washington last weekend. It was so fun to see our friends and enjoy a little of what Washington has to offer.

We spent a night at Semiahmoo. The city behind Tyler is White Rock, British Columbia. Semiahmoo resort is in Washington about thirty minutes west of where we used to live.
Addie could not wait to spend time with her good friend Amanda. Addie has really missed Washington and was thrilled that we got to go and visit. However, she thought the trip was far too short. When we were landing in Bellingham she started to cry. Kolby asked her what was wrong. She told him that sometimes when you are really happy to see someone you cry happy tears. We really want Landry and Charlotte to be good friends but they are not quite ready for that. They were born just a couple of weeks apart.
Landry loved being able to throw rocks into the ocean. This is him examining a rock in preparation to throw it.
You have to do some searching to find just the right rock to throw.
There it goes!

It was great to be at the ocean.
Semiahmoo had so many pretty rocks! I was in awe of all of the colors and textures.
We enjoyed swimming at the resort. I think this might count as Landry's first real swim. He loved hanging on to the kick board as I floated him around the pool.
Kolby had his first trip to the steam room and sauna. He was not impressed.
We stopped at Semiahmoo "park" after our stay at Semihamoo resort. Thanks for smiling so nice Kolby!

Kolby was a great helper as we waited for our rental car for over a hour. He ran Landry around in the stroller at the airport. Kolby kept going and going so that Landry would be good. May I suggest not using Enterprise when renting a car. The arrows are pointing out Tyler and Kolby. They enjoyed a fun game of frisbee.
Addie loves digging in the sand.
Landry likes throwing sand.

Kolby's teacher gave us this at Parent/Teacher Conference today. Apparently, there was an assembly at some point where the kids who received these awards were recognized. Kolby never told us about the assembly or the award. His teacher retained the awards to make sure the parents got them in good shape. He scored in the top ten percent nationally in science.

Our neighbor is moving and gave us their trampoline. The kids are so excited! You should have seen the looks on their faces when I told them about it.

Nice front flip Kolby! Tyler left us last weekend to go to NASCAR in Las Vegas. Start sending the mocking comments this way - we all know he deserves it. Luckily, the kids had the trampoline to keep them entertained. Now we just need grass!!
