Hangin' with the guys downtown...

Chase and his buddies on the drumline decided to hangout downtown 

Boise after playing for the graduation ceremony.

 Looking quite respectable...

 Now the silliness begins...

 Cool shot!

 LOVE this one!

 Time to eat!

What a great bunch of guys!  They always seem to have fun no matter what they do.

Not sure I like this...

 Now that Chase has his license the boys have been heading out to the local basetball courts...

 they love the freedom to go whenever they like (with permission of course)...

it's hard to watch your babies drive off. But they are having fun, making memories and becoming men.
I'm not sure I like this...

A playoff victory for the Huskies

Huskies won their playoff game against the Longhorns 7-6!

 What an accomplishment for the boys!  They played their hearts out!

Jacob, Tanner and London
(aka Little Bull, Fish and Clay Matthews!)

A new driver in the house!

We are so proud of our new driver!  He passed the driving portion of his test last Saturday (Troy's birthday!) with flying colors!

And passed the written portion today in no time at all!  I brought a book with me and he was finished before I could even get through 4 pages! 

 Proud new driver! Now he just has to wait for the permanent license to arrive in the mail. 7-10 days will seem like forever!

 His first time driving all alone!  He went to pick Tanner up from school.

 Making his truck his own with a new plate frame from Oma and Pappa.

 Congratulations Chase!  We are so proud of you!

Happy Mother's Day

A Victory for the Huskies!

 Great Job Tanner!

I'm running in the Dirty Dash!

Well, it's official...I'm running in the Dirty Dash race on August 25th....whoo hoo!  I can't wait!  Anyone want to join us?

April's Book Club

 Tonight's book club was so much fun!

 We laughed, we ate, and did our 3rd annual flip flop exchange.

 The book was great...the company even better!

Saturday

Just a few pics of our Saturday...

 Chase and Aaron enjoying their last day to board and ski for the season @ Bogus...

 Tanner's football game this morning....

 My drive down Harrison Blvd. after dropping the boys off at the slopes....

Troy is drag racing today, I enjoyed a couple hours of peace while Chase boards and Tanner is at a friends house.  Better get headed back up the hill to pick up the boys!  I think a stop at Dutch Bros. for a treat for mom is in order before heading up!  Have a beautiful weekend!

Easter

Tanner and I made these chocolate eggs together.

 Easter Baskets

This chocolate bunny is just PERFECT for Chase!

A new basketball and net for Tanner. And every year they get new swim trunks!

 Decorating eggs

We tried something new this year by painting some of the eggs.  The boys were creative and they turned out pretty.

 Favorite traditions

Deviled eggs!

Biting the ears off the chocolate bunny!

Easter dinner

 Dogs enjoying their Easter eggs...

 Decorations, old and new

Our egg collection...

 My mom made us these cute egg shaped hot pads when she was here in March.

Peep topiary...

My mom made this for me in 1972!

Spending time together playing Hangman
