Spring Breaks!

 Presley and Rylan both had their spring breaks the week of March 23rd through March 27th. 

Presley and Kel came for the first weekend of that, and then left Monday morning. 

Rylan came for the whole week.

Harper's spring break fell April 6th through April 10th, which felt very late this year. 

I met Ry in Portland on Thursday, March 19th to watch the first round of March Madness at the Moda Center. 

It was just slightly traffic jammed getting in! 

We watched Texas vs. BYU and

Gonzaga vs. Kennesaw State. 

We stayed the night in Portland and then I followed him home on Friday. 

Presley and Kel came home on Thursday evening. 

We went bowling while Presley and Kel were here. 

Dave started slow but rallied with 5 strikes in a row and beat us all. 

Presley made us so many loaves of different types of sourdough. 

She brought half a loaf to Grandma too. 

Kel showed me up on my crossword of the day! 

He completed this one (sometimes I only get one or two correct)

Rylan got a couple of shoot arounds in with Dave and also went to the mens open gym at 5 AM on Tuesday and Thursday. 

(Then he came home and took a nap)

Dave and Ry left on Friday to head to Portland to watch the Trailblazers with Presley and Kel. 

This was a Christmas present for them. 

Harper and I left after school to go to her final volleyball tournament in Spokane. 

Harper drove us to Ritzville today. 

They made the big screen tonight.

The next day they went to the IMax theatre and watched Project Hail Mary, which they all enjoyed. 

Dave drove down with Ry and flew home on Sunday morning.  

Ry dropped him off at the Portland airport and then drove on to Newberg to finish out the last 7 weeks of his freshman year. 

Harper and I wrapped up that tournament on Monday. 

What a long weekend--she went 0 and 14, didn't even win one set all weekend long.  

Harper with her coaches. 

Harper and Bree were the team captains this year. 

Harper headed back to school for a short week. 

We had Easter on April 5th. 

She hung out with friends

Went to a baseball game. 

Brought us coffees this week. 

Jumped on the trampoline

And laid out in the sun. 

And on Friday we went to watch Miryn at her final gymnastics meet of her season. 

Chewy will have a rough back to school Monday too :)

We asked Ry if we made a big donation would his playing time increase?

We were only half joking :)

Day 100, Friday, April 10th

Harper and I drove to the Tri-Cities today to watch Miryn in her final gymnastics meet of the year. 

She placed in the vault and the floor exercise. 

This was her first meet back after an ankle fracture in December sidelined her for most of the meets.

Harper tried to on my glasses this morning. 

Could she see me?  No :)
