Sam and I went to Mississiippi to see my mom for Mother’s Day. We got to spend some time in Starkville, then we went to the coast to see the cousins, then back to Jackson and the zoo and to fly out.

Sam Riding Bike
Here are a few movies of Sam riding his bike.
We all went to Maker Faire again this year. Again, lots of things we see that we think we can/should make. Katy has decided she needs a cupcake car to drive around in. Sam thinks this would be cool as well. We spent about 8 hours there and were to tired to go back for the second day.
Margaret and I went to Tahoe this weekend to get a little bit of spring skiing and boarding in. We figured this was our last chance. On Saturday, we were kind of tired, so we didn’t do much skiing, but we did take a long walk. We went to the oven in Page Meadows and then to the rest of the meadows and then we bushwhacked down to the road. It was lots of fun.
On Sunday we went back to the slopes. Margaret went to the top with me for the first time. It is now her most favorite run. We were both very sad when we had to leave.
This week was spring break for the kids. We were in Tahoe, so Susan, George (and Daisy), and Mary came up for Katy’s birthday. We did lots of skiing (Margaret was boarding of course). Jax (and the kids) spent time on the mound of snow next to house. We hiked down to the creek.
It was Easter. Katy was kind of sick so no one went to church. We did have an Easter egg hunt in the front yard.
Elizabeth: Katy was very sick. We spent several hours in the ER the night before because she was having trouble breathing. Turned out she had croup, which I did not know 12 years old could get. She missed a week and half of school. The rest of us have been a bit sick, but not nearly so badly. Rusty is the sickest right now.
Katy and I went kayaking with the Yonenagas on Elkhorn Slough. It was lots of fun. Lots of otters and seals/sea lions. Katy really thought the seals/sea lions reminder her of me because they just lay around and grunt from time to time. You can also see what Jenna thought of the trip here.

Sam’s Birthday
Today was Sam’s birthday. He had the party in his class where he handed out cupcakes and they all said lots of nice things about him. We went to Vito’s for pizza for supper because that is what Sam wanted.

Cat in the Hat
Apparently, Sam had a “Cat in the Hat” party. They made hats.
