Happy St. Patty's!

I grew up having Corned Beef and Cabbage just about every year I can remember for St. Patricks day. 

I am not about to tell you I made Corned Beef and Cabbage from scratch,  since cabbage and corned beef aren't up there in my favorite things, sorry mom. 

I did however manage to make Hayley a little rainbow treat bag

 with a gold coin at the end. (Thanks Pinterest!) 

Surprisingly though she didn't care too much about it. I think *ahem* if I may say so myself, we have brainwashed her thus far to not be too interested in sweets. (insert silent victorious fist pumps)

Lewiston, ID

My beautiful Hayley...

In the midst of Winter we hit a couple nice days, so we went down to Lewiston, about 45min drive. 

One nice thing about Lewiston (other than the fact that there is a Costco across the river) is that it's typically 10 degrees warmer than Pullman. So it felt especially nice. 

There is a really nice park right by the river, Hayley enjoyed "driving" us on the play train.   

(Hey look! A picture of me made it onto our blog!) 

TIMEOUT!

I'll take a timeout from posting about the kids to recognize all the hard work and time away Skyler has put in to this year's basketball season. 

Yesterday he concluded the 2012/13 season of Officiating Basketball. 

In case you were wondering, that's:

52 games

53 teams

31 partners

3,600 miles driven. 

....in addition to his 9-5 at WSU. 

Way to go Sky, thank you for working so hard for our family, 

I love you! 

Looking forward to a couple weeks of down time until Baseball/Softball starts. 

Happy Valentines!

A happy day indeed, Skyler sent me flowers and I had two helpers helping me in the kitchen.

Little Helpers

One night I turned around for just a minute to grab something and when I was back, Hayley was carefully helping feed her brother. So cute, she is so interested and wants to help with him in any way.  

This is her "funny face."

 She thinks this is SO funny.
