The kids had a joyful Easter. They hunted for baskets, eggs, we went to church, and then we had a family from church over for dinner. It was a great day!

Joel :: March 2018
With the spring rains, there is more mud in the yard. Quent is currently working on a project in the yard and so there's more dirt exposed. That means more mid-day baths for Joel who likes to play in the mud.
Our cats are outdoor/garage cats now, but sometimes Shadow slips in to visit. Joel thought it was super cool when she was snuggling with him.
Friends :: March 29, 2018
After the kids have breakfast, Jeralyn will head downstairs to do her morning chores and she always invites Joel to come with her. It's kind of nice because she enjoys the company and he is entertained. It's a win-win for me (mom) when I also have morning chores to focus on.
Bike Ride :: March 25, 2018
Joel loves going for bike rides in the bike trailer. He says "bike ride" fairly often. If you say the word "bike" you better be serious about taking him on a ride in the near future (at least he thinks so).
Reading Words :: March 21, 2018
Jeralyn is doing so well with reading. Each school day we review words she has learned. Sometimes she plays "bingo" but this day I lined up the cars like a race track and she had to drive around and read the words.
Ice Cream :: March 12, 2018
You can tell it's starting to warm up when we are eating ice cream on the deck.
South Dakota :: February 2018
Quent's grandmother passed away at 101 years old. We drove to South Dakota for the funeral. Grandma Link lived a good life and has a huge blessing of a family. We enjoyed our time visiting with the family and getting to know one another better.
Here are the kids on our way out to SD.
On the way, we were able to meet my friend Samantha and her daughter Abby. The girls were so shy around each other at first, but soon they were back to their social selves.

Joel's 2nd Birthday :: February 12, 2018
Happy birthday to Joel! He's a wild and loud 2 year old with lots and lots of energy. His favorite word is "no". He loves to sing and to read books that have songs. He loves "cool cars". He calls Lightning McQueen "Keen". He doesn't like to be left out of anything fun. He likes to ride in the backpack on Daddy's back when he skis. He is trying to skip out on naps. He likes to turn the light on when he's supposed to be sleeping (but Mommy figured out how to out-smart him on that one). He loves yogurt and oranges. And he's quite the meat-eater. He's loud. He screams. He jumps. He dances. He's a rough and tumble boy. Oh boy!
For breakfast on Joel's birthday, we had crepes with sprinkles.
Yum!
This is his birthday cupcake from after dinner.
Opening presents.
Quent took some of the day off and we went for a walk/sled up on some Forest Service land. There was no snow in Kamiah, but there was up on the ridge. We had a really nice time together. Quent was doing funny things to make us smile and laugh for these photos.
Joel :: February 10, 2018
I had a little photo shoot with Joel. Quent had taken older two kids skiing and so it was just Joel and I. I took advantage of the time we had together and snapped some photos.
Boys :: January/February 2018
Joshua painting and making silly faces.
Joshua made this pretty butterfly. He was so proud.
Joel's naps are slowly going away, but sometimes he will take a good nap. I was happy to capture him on camera.
December Photos :: Christina's Phone :: 2017
Whoa! I have some catching up to do!
Kisses

Decorating cookies
Joshua started doing the chore Jeralyn did with putting away all of the lower dishes (dishes that are lower that they can reach to put them away). I wasn't sure if he would be excited about doing this chore, but he's doing a really good job with it.
Twas the night before Christmas...
Christmas morning (not sure where Joel was when this was taken).
Jeralyn and I had a coffee date and then we went to the playground.
Jeralyn and Joshua wearing their shirts on the anniversary of Eli's passing. He will forever be in our hearts.
