March 29, 2015 Egg hunt and Christian blessing

 Ike still hates veggies.

 Chloe made a self-portrait and portrait.

 Ike holds his own bottle!

 Snacks from Japan.  Thanks Pearsons, we miss you like crazy!

 Sometime your aunt come and you attack her.

 and you attack her some more.

 Ike hates veggies but knows the good stuff.

 Rex thinking about tiny seahorses.

Funny faces:

One cute boy that we were so glad we could come meet.  We love The family.  It was nice to hear testimonies and awesome to hear Brennan is going to Rio Brazil on his mission.  We are excited amazing things are happening for the Ross Family.

Mikes ventures:

Making the most of what you have, I think that is Mikes motto.

March 22, 2015 We miss Mike, vashon boat, Dri day

 Hate.  Ike hates peas.

 We went for FHE ice-cream.  By the end of this cone Rex's eye looked suspicious at best.

 One hour later.

 At the Doctor the next morning we got antibiotic drops and it didn't spread anywhere else.  While Mike has been gone a lot of things have gone/ are going wrong.  It is nice to have the spirit give nudges and family/friends help out to help us maneuver through.

 Rex's eyes got really bad...Kidding he just likes strawberries.

 Ike also hates avocado.

 Field trip to Vashon Island. Thanks to modern medicine we were able to attend.

 Snack on the way back.  

We didn't even get off the boat but the kids loved the trip.

 Ike also hates sweet potatoes.

 Rex hates ordering tile.  I can't say I blame him we were there for a sold hour.  It reminded me of many trips I took as a child.  Sadly our tile is on a slow boat from who knows were and won't be here for about a month.

 Rex's birthday take two.

 His BFF was super sick so we had a second birthday with ghetto pinata and everything.  They had a lot of fun.

 Cutie.

 We walked to the fruit stand and Chloe didn't want to join us.  Instead she stayed at Dri's talked to Siri and asked her how to spell a hiking penguin named ike.  It was so cute.  She told me when we got back that she LOVES talking to Siri. She kept telling me about conversations she had with her.  One went along these lines:

I told Siri I love my Dad; and she said what does love mean? and I said love means that you really like someone. And I think she likes that answer.

Also while we were gone she called mike and told him about her picture took a picture and text it to him.  She is one tech savvy gal.

 Fish cookie.

 Chilling with dri

 Beautiful day.  

It was hard to get the kids to try a new park, but it was amazing.

 Mike having his own fun.  We have missed him. It is sweet to see the kids as they get older ask to text him.  There have been A LOT of emoticons 

involved.  Before this trip I have never used one, but Chloe has opened up a new world.  She took my phone and send movie messages.  It is endearing.

 Old pictures from our go-carting night.

 I love how they are all the same height.

This is what happens when I go to grab Ike and leave Mike alone.  This is screaming for an awkward friendly photo book.
