Hairstyles

The boys have taken to doing their own hair on Sundays.  
I like their creativity!

Elyse is not doing her own hair but insisted that she needed a picture too.

Matchy Matchy

The boys decided they wanted to match today and insisted that I take their picture.

And Elyse didn't want to be left on the picture taking action:

I love the cheesey smiles.

Ultimate!

So, Matthew played ultimate frisbee this spring.  I don't know why I didn't post about it sooner.  Maybe because I didn't have any pictures.  But, it was a lot of fun for him.  There was a pretty steep learning curve but by the end of the season, things began to come together better for the team and the players.  Matthew was lucky to play with two of his best friends from McDonald: Charlie and Ian.
Here's a picture of what Jon calls "McDonald Line:"

And here are the team shots:

Richard Scarry vs Usborne

Seth:  Elyse, let's read this one (Scarry)
Image
because I don't know how to read in Russian (Usborne).

I hate to break it to you kid but you really can't read either.

Matthew Reports on Spring Break

For Spring break, I went camping along the Oregon Coast.  It was really fun.  We camped in yurts.  We roasted s'mores every day that we were there.

When we walked along the Oregon Coast we saw an old shipwreck.  The boat was called the Peter Iredale for the name of the captain.

We also saw the site of an old fort that had batteries that we could climb.  The batteries still had old guns too.

Me, my friend Asher, and Seth on the gun
On our way home we stopped at Cape Disappointment to see the lighthouses.  And we found a giant slug.

 The trip was really fun.  I really enjoyed it.

Seth, on lengthening days:

"On these days the sun gets to stay up really late because it has been super good."
