Tubbs Hill hike

Tubbs hill overlooks Lake Coeur d'Alene and is right next to down town.

It was an easy, fun two mile hike, perfect for a Sunday afternoon.

My favorite little hikers

Cate slept most of the hike on Dad's back.



Easter + sunshine = happy

Easter egg lights

Decorating Easter, two littles cuddling, Magg's old dogger face, and Cate's blonde mullet in the sun make my heart happy.

Cate's Christening

Cate was baptized on February 14th at St. Matthews Lutheran Church by Pastor Bob. A sweet little Valentine's Day with for this special girl. Almost everyone flew and drove great distances for this special occasion. We were so very blessed to surround by family.

God parents Keri and Jason

   

Warning.......incredible amount of cuteness! She was so happy and I could tell she felt so pretty in her dress when I took these pictures today. I got the head band for a dollar from Target, score.

What an extra special Valentine's Day we had this year! I got to be with my sis on her 4th anniversary of open her heart surgery, and we were surrounded by incredible amounts of love. Not to say we aren't exhausted but it was worth it in every way. I have strep throat, again, boo. And a cold to top it off. But happily surviving our crazy life :)

Love luv loves

Valentines Day is one of my favorite holidays because it's just another excuse to tell my kids (and husband) how much I love them, and get them a big snugly stuffed animal. Who doesn't love love and a big snugly stuffed animal?
