Easter Weekend

Rys soccer team had an outstanding game vs. White Swan tonight.  
Ry played just a short time in goal, and then played forward. 
He even got one of the goals tonight. 

We thought Logan might make it to the game, and he did, showing up in the scrubs he wore at work.

Friday night, watching funny videos together. 

Grandma and Papa Nelson came over on Saturday to help us color eggs. 
Logan wanted to leave a little earlier on Sunday to get back to Seattle, so we had a nice dinner of ham and all the sides on Saturday afternoon. 




We opened baskets on Sunday morning and Presley FaceTimed us to open hers too. 




And then we went on a walk down on the trail near Confluence Park. 
Logan left about 2 and we had leftover ham and rolls for dinner. 

We had a special engagement on Saturday evening too!
Mylee and Ryan got engaged!

Ryans parents, Ryan, Mylee, Amy, Thomas
