 Harper and I went to Spokane on the last week-end of spring break to play in the Pacific Northwest Qualifier.  

April 7, 2024

She had actually played in this tournament 2 years ago as a guest player. 

April 3, 2022

On Friday night we had a team dinner at The Steam Plant.

Saturdays spectators

Reffing/Line Judging/Keeping Score is the players' job too. 

She needed a little afternoon nap while I watched March Madness basketball at the hotel. 

Watching Sunday's games

Dave and Rylan had a basketball scrimmage in Auburn on Saturday. 

They won today. 

2024 SPRING BREAKS

Logan's spring break was March 4th-8th, and he was lucky to spend his week in Hawaii...

And he made it back in time for his classes on Monday!

Presley's spring break was the following week...March 11th-15th

We watched basketball, spent time together as a family, loved loved loved on Chewy, and played golf too. 

Nobody was home to greet Presley when she arrived on Sunday, March 10th. 

But she texted us this selfie that Chewy was there for her.  

Chewy had a grooming appointment during Presley's spring break and the groomer sent me this picture that he was ready for pick up. 

Coffee and Pup Cup run

Matching Valentine's jammies

Big sis/Little bro

Watching Gonzaga basketball!

We went out to lunch on Friday. 

We went to lunch with Grandma and Papa Nelson on Saturday and then Dad, Ry, and Presley went golfing in Cashmere. 

We had to watch the Eras Tour movie downstairs

Presley left on Sunday, March 17th

And I found this note later in the week. :)

Rylan and Harper's spring breaks were lined up on April 1st-5th

Seriously...I so look forward to a week when I can sleep in! 

Easter was on Sunday, March 31st

Chewy walks

Rylan taught Harper to ride the moped.

She can only go up to the top of our driveway and back down but that was enough to make her happy. 

Dave took Rylan to a basketball camp near Portland. 

They had a 3 on 3 tourney and Ry's team made it to the championship game. 

The coach asked all the players to choose which team they thought would win and those 3-4 kids on the sideline are the only ones who chose Ry's group.  The rest chose the other team. 

Ry's team did lose but it came down to the last point. 

Harper and Mason played basketball outside.

We watched a lot of women's and men's basketball and Harper let me try to do Paige Bueckers' game day hairstyle. 

Easter Sunday (March 31st)

Harper did the dye-ing this year. 

I only hard boiled 12 eggs so we had to write a bunch of names on each egg. 

A few spring gifts and goodies in their baskets 

I tried to make bunny ear cinnamon rolls and bacon pancakes...

lots of giggles from the teens in my house :)

I had sent Presley a box of fun and she FaceTimed us while she opened it up. 

(Logan got one too and he texted me earlier this week to thank me)

A late breakfast + an early dinner meant we needed a snack board before heading to Grandma and Papa Nelsons house. 

Harper with Max this afternoon. 

Slushies later this evening

Logan was in Florida this long weekend and made it back to college on time!

6 more weeks left for him and Presley.
