Spring Break!

During spring break, we had Jane and Adam spend the night!
Good times....

St. Patrick's Day festivities

Peyton's school had a St. Patrick's Day Festival. Peyton and her cousins, Ryan & Adam, were the Grand Marshals!!! After the parade, there was food, games, crafts and face painting! We were very lucky that it only rained a little bit on us during the parade!

Ryan, Adam & Peyton with the police escorts!


All the kids got to check out the police motorcycles!

Weekend in Sisters

Rylee, Carson, Peyton & Austin

Brad, Mike, Keri, Cindy & Ryan...just a little Texas Hold'em!

At the park with Devin...

It was next to impossible to get them to sit still for a picture on such a beautiful day at the park!!!

Skiing at Meadows...

We took Peyton up skiing to Meadows one day. She did FANTASTIC...until the last run of the day when she fell and landed on my binding, cutting her chin. But, she was a little trooper and finished the run, THEN we were done!

Father/Daughter Dance

Ryan & Peyton went to the Father/Daughter dance at school...Mardi Gras theme...



They picked Dave & Jane up on the way...the girls looked so cute!

Peyton & Austin...bathtime!

Sunriver

Our week in Sunriver with The Elle Family and The (other) Stephens' Family....

Our first night in town, the Reed Family came over for dinner...we had 11 kids under the age of 9 in the house! Needless to say, it was a CRAZY house that evening!

In age order...Zach, Jane, Jordan, Ryan, Adam, Tyler, Peyton, Owen, Austin, Hailey & Tiffany

We spent our first day sledding on the golf course right outside our house...it was a gorgeous day!

Ryan took Peyton up to ski at Mt. Bachelor...she did AWESOME, even though she was sick!

One day the guys went skiing...Dave, Mike & Ryan.

The next day, the moms went skiing...Terra, Jen & Heather. The dads "worked it out" so they could go, too...they split the babysitting duties back at the house...

Mike, Jen & Ryan...what a great family!

Ryan, Peyton & Terra getting some runs in.

All the kids getting ready to hit the hot tub one morning...it's snowing!!!

Austin, Owen, Peyton, Adam, Ryan, Jane & Zachary

More sledding outside on the golf course...

Our last day in Sunriver. Peyton was finally starting to feel better, but Austin had taken a turn for the worse. Overall, even after having two sick kids on vacation, we had a GREAT time! Can't wait to go back next year!

Time to get in the car for our long drive home...
