Our Memorial Day Fun!

Since it was about 85 degrees outside we decided we couldn't waste it. We got the girls ready and were headed out to Columbia Park, to play at the Playground of and in the water. When we got there we found that the rest of the Tri-Cities had the same idea. So we went with plan B, we got some water toys at Target. Alex picked out a slip n' slide, but it has three lanes and little boogey boards to race with. And I got a little caterpillar to hook up to the hose, it was fun to. We called Addisyn's little friend Talen and he came over. They had a blast.

Harper just hanging out with Chalene while I ran around taking pictures of all the fun.

Harper again, she had to put on her suit.


After we finished playing with the toys, we used my parents yard since they were in Yakima, we headed to BBQ at Aaron, Chalene and Talen's casa. We had burgers and while we were waiting we put the kids on the tramp and turned on the sprinkler underneath them. It was so funny to watch, the kids could hardly jump it was so slippery.

Outside Art

So on Wednesday, while Harper was taking her afternoon nap Addisyn and I decided we wanted to go outside. We needed to spend a little time together just the two of us, since we don't get as much time alone anymore. I had went to Target and picked up some side walk chalk. We played outside together for a couple hours. It was such a blast, and I noticed that it helped Addisyn and me. We were able to have patience with each other the rest of the day. I took a ton of pictures but these are my favorite.
She loves to draw, and drawing on the sidewalk was such an adventure for her.
Addisyn's favorite shoes! I looked everywhere to find them, but they were always sold out in her size.

Just a little note that we left for Daddy to see as he headed for his car to go to work that night, it really brightened his day, he told us the next morning.

Time to Update...

Alright, so it has been a while since I have updated,but I do have a good explination. I started back to school this quarter at CBC. I am continuing my education, though it has turned itno more of a ten year plan. When I finish I hope to be a Ultrasound Tech, in the Radiology Program. Wish me Luck! Well, enough about me, most are just interested in the girls. WEll, a lot has been happening in the Linn household, they are getting bigger. Harper is now 7 months old and has began eating solids, she started Sweet Potatoes yesterday, she is definatley a lot harder to feed then Addisyn was. She gags on everything. I am having a blast though. Addisyn is still everybit 2. She loves to count to 10 and is learning her ABC's. She can do A-G then she needs a little help. She loves to sing Happy Birthday, and Primary Songs. Addisyn is a shinning star in Nursery, she loves the attention and she difinatley gets it during singing time.

Hop n' Down the Bunny Trail

Happy Easter All... Yesterday was a busy day for our family. Addisyn got a visit from the Easter Bunny, she was so excited, Harper is still to small to understand obviously. Alex got home from work at 8:30 that morning, and quietly got the eggs that I stuffed the night before and hid them outside, Addisyn had already woken up and came into my room and was just laying with me in bed, when he got inside I dressed her and we took her into the living room to see the surprise awaiting her. Then we went to look for the eggs that the bunny hid, she had so much fun. After that we got ready and went to church.

























That night, we had the annual Spanner family Easter dinner and hunt. It was so much fun, I was able to get eggs a lot easier this year without my brother Shane tackling me, at least until Alex got aggressive. He thought he was tough, but I am an Anderson, I took him down. Then he thought he could beat me to an egg, he dove through the hedge but in the moment his eggs flew out of the basket and into the road, it was the talked about move of the night. Addisyn was keeping Papa Jack busy running for eggs. It was quite windy and chilly so Harper and Aunt Cody snuggled together inside.

Breakfast Bunny and Easter Egg Hunt

So my mom signed Addisyn up for this Easter egg hunt and pancake breakfast down at the Communty Center. I wasn't sure what to expect but it sounded like it could be fun. That morning Alex woke up sick, so I had to get ready and get the girls down there myself, to meet Nana and Papa. So we sat and had breakfast, and watched all the other kids to see what was happening, they had several tables all set up to do crafts and games. Addisyn and Papa started making their rounds as I sat with Harper and my mom ate. She went immediately to the Playdoh table, then we took her to guess how many jellybeans were in a jar, while Nana constructed bunny ears at another table. By that time Mr. and Mrs. Bunny came riding up in the park on motorcycles. Addisyn was so excited she kept saying,"Rabbit," but when it was her turn to say hi, she wanted to keep her distance. The Easter Egg Hunt was about to start so we all went outside and figured out where Addisyn needed to be, then the kids were off. She gathered eggs and Nana counted out fifteen, we had to take her out, otherwise she would have collected them all. We all had fun watching Addisyn, Harper will be doing it with her next year I can't wait!Addisyn was being instructed how to use Playdoh, it was her first time!

The easter Egg hunt, she was being such a nut for pictures that day...

This was the closest that she got to the Bunny all morning, and it was only because she was standing there smiling for a picture and we got the bunny to scoot in behind her, it made her a little uncomfortable.
Harper is such a little trooper, she was happy as a clam in her car seat the whole time. She got plenty of my attention talking to me and Papa.
