Our last Family Day as a family of 4!

Saturday, June 5th was the big day!!!....or it was Benson's due date! Since he decided not to arrive, we decided to spend the day as a family and make it our own fun family day! It made it even better that there were two fun activities being held in Spokane that day too, not to mention it was beautiful!!!!

We spent the morning in downtown Hillyard (right by our house) where they were having a Sidewalk chalk event and contest! The kids loved it and did great! After they were done with their drawings, we decided to walk through downtown Hillyard and look through a few of the great antique shops! We have lived near this area for 6 years and have never done this before! We also figured all the walking would help "move things along!" :)



The theme of the event was "Under the Sea" so Kambria drew a picture of a mermaid, some fish, and a couple flowers. :)

After going home for lunch and relaxing a bit, we headed to the Browns Addition neighborhood in the late afternoon to enjoy Artfest. :) I have lived in Spokane all my life and have never actually been to this event! They were celebrating their 25th year. We actually drove around for about 20 minutes trying to find somewhere to park and luckily found a great spot!! Thank goodness!!!!

This guy was a "one man band" and was great! He probably would be one to get "buzzed" out on America's Got Talent, but for Artfest he was very entertaining!!! There are other instruments on his back that are hooked to strings on his feet. :)

Kambria working on her artwork. :) She painted a paper bag fish. :)

We enjoyed some very yummy ice cream cones!!!

When we were done walking around we let the kids play for a while on the playground.

It was a beautiful day for us to enjoy our last "family day" as a family of 4!!!! Next time there will be 5 of us as we are soon to welcome Benson! :)

Kindergarten Concert

Kambria had her Kindergarten Concert June 3rd. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to make it or not. Even though I would have loved to have had the baby, it was great to able to go to Kambria's first little concert!!! :)




Uncle Brandon and Kaden came and brought Kambria some beautiful roses!!!!


She was so excited to get flowers!!!! :)

A little bit of May

I have quite a bit to catch up on for the month of May. So, I am going to pick a few of my favorite pics from the fun stuff that went on; which is hard since there are a bunch of pictures!!!

Eli got to go to his first Father/Son campout!!! They didn't actually stay the night since we have the paper route and with me being 8 months pregnant at the time Jon didn't want me doing it by myself......I didn't argue with that!!! Hopefully next year they will actually get to stay for the night! They had a lot of fun anyway!!!

Eli was so excited that he was ready to go before Daddy got home so he paced up and down the sidewalk waiting for him! :)

We go to the Armed Forces Day, Torchlight Parade (Lilac Parade) every year. It has become tradition for us to park there early so we can have a little tailgate bbq right before the parade with both sides of our family. This year we ended up in a different spot, but has now become our new favorite! Jon set up an extra chair in front of me so I could put my swollen feet up! I was able to be comfortable the whole parade!

Eli and I got to join Kambria's kindergarten class on their field trip to Mobius Kids!

After having fun in Mobius Kids, Kambria's class got to have a picnic lunch at Riverfront Park. :) After they all ate, the class had fun rolling and running down the big hill! Eli and Kambria did too!!! :)

Jon had a birthday! I had a doctor appt that afternoon. So since the kids were at Jon's sister's we decided to take advantage of that and enjoyed a date at the Onion for his birthday dinner and dessert! The Onion gives away the best and biggest free birthday desserts!!!!

Because it was so close to my due date, we didn't spend all of Memorial Day weekend with my parents like we normally do. Instead, Kaden and Kambria got to spend a whole day with Grandma and Grandpa K by themselves, go to Silverwood, and stay the night in their trailer! They had a blast! Jon, Eli, and I met them in Couer d' Alene the next day to pick them up and enjoy most of the day with them too! We played on the big playground for a while, walked the boardwalk, and then headed to Silverwood for the last half of the day. :)

Eli had fun riding the train roller coaster with Daddy! Kambria met this girl in line and they ended up riding a couple times together. :)

Eli loves keys and phones....and now he is DRIVING!!!! I think he is growing up to fast!! :)

May was full of a lot of fun activities and went by very fast! Here comes June, a new baby, and summer time!!! Yay!!!!!

Monday? Tuesday? Wednesday?

Benson was due on Saturday so he is now officially 2 days late and counting! I have had some contractions but they have all been tolerable and sporadic, although a little heavier starting Sunday....but still tolerable. If I don't go into the hospital before Wedensday, June 9th, I will be induced that morning. (which also happens to be my parent's anniversary!) The waiting game continues!

I have about 3 or 4 posts that I am behind on right now......so I guess if nothing happens within the next 24 hours (it is 12:44 am Monday morning.....shouldn't be up right now) then I will hopefully catch up so my next post after that will be announcing the birth of our little one!

Eli's "cold" face!

Eli doesn't eat ice cream too often because he thinks it is too cold. When he does though, he usually makes this face, I love it!!!!! He kept saying "cheese" because he thought I was trying to take his picture, I think it was distracting him from the coldness of the ice cream too. :) I love this little boy!

Roller Skating

We went to Pattison's Roller Rink last Saturday for Madeleine's birthday party. We had a lot of fun, especially Kambria! She had only been skating once and that was 2 years ago, but she picked up where she had left off and did Great!

Daddy and Auntie Adie had to help a little at first......

.......but then she was ready to do it on her own! :)

Eli can't wait to be able to get out there too!
