Spring is in the air!!! Now let's Social

On Thursdays we get together with some of the other local moms at our neighborhood association lodge. It is so nice to have a place to get together with other families and chat and have our kids play. A few of us had just arrived with our babies so I had to take this photo opportunity. My friend Jen's son James is on the left. He was around a month old in this picture. Beckett is in the middle, 5 1/2 months old when this was taken and my friend Mikell's son Caleb is on the right. He is nine months old.
I had brought my toddler yoga video so we got all the kids to participate. It was so cute to see them all doing the different poses. We will definitely have to do this activity again.

We have been having very beautiful spring weather here so a few weeks ago we got together with several friends over the weekend. One night we had Liz and JD over, the next day we went snowboarding and skiing with Sara and Randy and they spent the night and went on a nice hike the next day. They spend a few weekends at our house over the winter so that they can be closer to the mountain and so we can spend some quality time with them. They live in North Portland so it is a little harder to just get together for dinner occasionally. They are also our rafting friends. So, in the summer we try to go rafting and camping and in the winter we go snowboarding. Sara and I actually met playing field hockey with our Portland field hockey club. And then on the Saturday evening of this weekend we got together with other local friends Keith and Mikell for a bbq. It was a really fun and social weekend!

Here is a picture of Sara and Randy. This was taken near the trail head of the Upper Salmon River hike. This is definitely one of my favorite local hikes. The hike brings you along the Salmon river and takes you into the national forest.

On the way home from the hike, Sara was taking pictures of the kids. Here is documentation of Beckett's fascination with his hands. He will sometimes just look at them and move them around. It is so cute!

Here is Todd with Caleb and Beckett having some floor time.

Meadow had gotten a sliver in her foot so Mikell got her a foot bath set up and of course Bailey had to have one too. I love watching Bailey and Meadow play together. They have very similar energy so they are like two little giggle balls of energy.

We didn't get any pictures of the adults but we had a good time playing Sequence after the boys fell asleep and the girls were entertained by a movie.

I love this picture of Beckett because he looks so proud of himself. I think his looks just says I am getting so big, yup I am sitting in my high chair and eating solid foods. If I was great with computers I would make that little bubble for words next to his mouth. I think he would also say I love solid foods, but I still really love mommy's milk.
