Spring Walk with DeA

This spring has had weird weather, but it creates cool views with the shadows and clouds.

The rest of this post are just pics of DeA and the scenery, sorry if you were hoping for kids this time.

More Ball and Apple Blossom

Jensley got to play a fun game against Chelan. She did great and I think she had fun.

Ryker got to pitch in the rain in a scrimmage against another Manson team. He thought it was fun.

Apple Blossom was once again great, except someone decided to put blueberries in the sourdough pancakes and I had a Ryker moment.

That's a lot of candy!

Quite the candy crew

The rain was pretty bad, but it was still fun.

Manson Growers passed out apple cider samples, Ryker was a fan

Thankfully the rain stopped when the parade started, and it turned out to be pretty pleasant.

Ryker doesn't like hot dogs unless they are broiled.

Mom threw a late B-day party for Lindz with a four-layer butterfinger cake. It was delicious. 

Jensley Birthday, Baseball, and Stuff

Jens isn't one to beg for attention, but she sure loves and deserves it on her birthday!

DeA and Leo both love their naps

Luca is quite the cute baby

Rock got to play more down the stretch of his baseball season and did a great job blocking and receiving.

He got to play in our alumni game and helped coach the bases.

I don't quite fill out the uniform like I used to.

So much for impressing DeA with how I look in a uniform...

At least the cotton candy was a hit.

Rock really, really wanted to cut Leo Boy's hair. Leo Boy really, really didn't want his hair cut. 

Rock tried bribes, videos, and more bribes, but eventually Rissa had to pin him down and finish.

He took his anger out in a sparring contest with Hampa

A tale of a fart in two pictures, just look at Ryker and DeA's faces in each one

 

Easter

We helped celebrate Easter weekend by going to Stake Conference and deviling about 60 eggs. It was fun.

Just in case you were wondering, about 12 deviled eggs is the lethal dose for a grown adult male.

Jens liked the filling but not the white part.

Ryker surprised himself by really liking them even though he was sure he wouldn't.

We colored eggs in the evening, Max and Leo Boy were excited to make a mess.

Our dryer kicked the can and the washer wasn't far behind. DeA wanted an excuse to spend my the money on expensive Speed Queens, and she was pretty excited that we did.

I was warming Rock up for the first game of his doubleheader and the last throw short-hopped him and hit a clomp of grass and left him with a great goose egg. Dad of the year right here.

He got to catch an inning and did really well.

Ryker wanted to set up the projector to watch the M's, but it was too windy outside. I guess the basement is good enough.

Jens wanted to help me pick prayers for church, it makes my job easier.
