Doernbecher Auction weekend

A few weekends ago we had the Doernbecher Auction.  Nate is heavily involved in Doernbecher and we always have a ton of fun at the auction!  This year Nate also had a conference that he attended the same weekend.  It made for a crazy busy weekend!  Thankfully my parents were able to keep the kids for the night and we got to stay overnight downtown!

 I picked up Nate from the conference and we headed to the Heathman Hotel to get dressed for the night.  The theme was Old Hollywood.

 We spent the evening with our great friends, Matt & Jessica.

 And our friends Travis & Denee!

 After the auction we went out with the Kroeger's and one of Nate's clients.

 Such a fun night!  The next morning we had brunch with some friends before heading back to my parents to see out babies.  Andrew and I spent the afternoon cuddling and watch t.v. before heading to another auction!  It was a crazy busy, fun weekend!

Life lately

Seems like life keeps getting busier these day.  Andrew has t-ball twice a week, Nate has been swamped at work, and I'm just trying to stay sane!  A few weeks ago I did a cleanse.  I've been wanting to do one for quite awhile.  I finally found one that sounded doable.  Lots of fruit & veggies, no caffeine, dairy or meat.  I did it for 3 days and I was so proud of myself that I was able to do it!

 My sweet mom sent us flowers and it totally made my day!  I love getting flowers delivered.  It is such a fun surprise.

 This cutie has been doing great at t-ball practice and he loves that Daddy is his couch.

 While the boys have t-ball practice, Ava plays at the playground and loves it!

 We went and got pedicures a few weeks ago.  Always such a fun thing to do with my baby girl!

T-ball season

Last night was Andrew's first night of t-ball.  He has practice every Tuesday and Thursday night for the next month before he starts games.  He did great last night and I think he had fun too.  It helps that two of his buddies, Carter & Landon, are on his time.  Go green cobras!!!

Pama's birthday weekend

Since it was the big 6-0 for my mom, we headed to Eagle Crest for a weekend away with the family.  We stayed in a HUGE house with enough rooms for all of us and one to spare.

On Friday night we celebrated my mom.  Kayla and I worked for days and hours on a scrapbook for my mom.  We asked friends and family to write things they love about our mom and words that remind them of her.  We put these all in a book as well as 60 years of photos.  It took a ton of time looking through pictures and scanning but it was so worth it.  The book turned out amazing and my mom loved it.

 On Saturday we headed into Sister for a bit for a little bit of shopping and of course coffee at Sister's Coffee Company.  It was such a cold day, I think in the mid 40s, so we didn't walk around much.  We spent the rest of the day just hanging out at the house.  It was so nice to just relax and do some reading.

 These kids love being together!

 Andrew got a new book and he was so excited about it!

 We played lots of fun games, hung out, read and had a great Saturday afternoon! 

 We tried to cool down the hot tub at the house so the kids could swim in it for a bit, but it was still so hot.  They were a bit disappointed to we put them in the big jacuzzi tub and they had a blast.

After the kids went to bed Kayla & I went in the hot tub.  It was way to cold, so that didn't last long.  We headed back in the house and played mexican dominos for the rest of the night.  It was so fun!

 We packed up on Sunday morning, went into Sisters for donuts at this cute bakery and then coffee at Sister's Coffee Company before heading back home.  As we were sitting at the coffee shop it started snowing.  I seriously can't believe how cold it is for April!  We drove home in the snow until we got over the pass.  It was a beautiful drive.

It was such a great weekend with family and the kids had so much fun playing together.
