April is one of my favorite months because of SPRING BREAK!! After the long month of March (5 weeks of no breaks) teachers are always excited and ready for spring break. Unfortunately Brodie's break doesn't match up with mine. booo. so we were unable to go on a trip, but we did have lots of fun hiking and working on the house together in the evenings.

we took a quick visit to the beach house to help Brodie's parents tear our their deck, which used to be here. . .
For awhile we have been brainstorming about ways to store our bikes. They were sitting out on the back patio in the rain. After we demolished the beach house deck,we decided to take home all of the old wood to build a shed for the bikes. It turned out to be a lot of wood, and the shed slowly evolved into something much bigger! It now fits the grill, dog house, bikes, scooters, skateboards, and a few shelves. We affectionately call it "The Barn".

3 walls are up!
working on the roof
almost done! just need to add the shelves above the grill. stay tuned for a "finished product" photo
Another exciting part of April was a weekend trip to Utah! Packed into 3 days was my dad's retirement party, a visit to Reagan Academy, my grandparents' 80th birthday celebration, my mom's birthday, and Davey's baby blessing.
Here are some of my sweet, adorable, hilarious, unforgettable 4th graders who are now sixth graders!! I popped in for a surprise visit during their last class of the day. They were literally stunned and some happy tears were even shed. Man, I've missed these guys.

baby Davey's blessing day - isn't he adorable??
and of course, what would spring break be without hiking?? This hike was up the Columbia River Gorge with the Pratts.
