Halley Boo Boo and Bunny Bun Bun

Spring break week. The kids got to spend time with both grandparents, do some shopping, swimming, and crafts.  Luis and I got to go to dinner with the DeCicco's Wednesday night and to see my podcast and Warrior Dash friend Mike Schmidt perform his show Friday night.  Before going to see Mike though, our poor kitty Halley needed a haircut.

Halley is an outdoor kitty with really long fur.  After a winter of mud and rain, she was all matted fur.  Basically a kitty with dreadlocks.  All we could do was take it all off - a brush wasn't going to get the job done.  So we needed to enlist some clippers...
And Mason's supervision...
Grumpy cat.
Halley was sure a trooper.
Yes, that is enough fur for about 10 cats.
Yes, she knows how ridiculous she looks.  Don't remind her.  But she feels much better.
After an intense 1 vs. 1 basketball game between Luis and I on Saturday and a family dinner at the food carts, we were all ready for the Easter Bunny today!!
Mason and Siena were sure excited.  We went up to my parents for brunch with the Kinney family.
Mason was even nice enough to push his little sister on the swings!
Let the egg hunting begin!  Did I mention the weather this weekend was perfect?  Sunny and 70s both days. Easter in Portland has never been nicer.
Run! Run!
My parents yard looked amazing with the spring blossoms.
Siena hunting down the last few hidden eggs.

My cousin Judy and her boys were in town from Montana.  Evan and Austin hunted for eggs along with Mason and Siena.


The eggs match Siena's dress
The kids and the loot!


After eggs, the kids busted out the go-cart.  Definitely fun for the kids riding all over the yard.
It may have been Easter, but it was also Uncle Walt's 85th birthday! We got to celebrate both.
The lawn is the perfect place for Siena to practice her cartwheels!  She had to ditch the dress to do it though.
We went to the Cruzes for a while to celebrate Easter with them.  We finished off the day with a nice 1 vs. 1 basketball game between Mason and I.  He's tough competition.

And as with last week, I was here too.  Along with Barbie.  And Rick Piterno.
