Sun River 2018

For mid winter break, we headed up to Sun River for the week. As always, it did not disappoint! The kids had a blast spending the week with Grandma and Grandpa, all their cousins, skiing, and playing in the snow. This year we started with no snow on the ground and ended with a blizzard that made driving home very tricky. Liam stayed home with Grandma while Callie and I skied. Although it is always hard to be left behind, he loves his Grandma so much and they had an absolute blast together. I'm also realizing that she took all the pictures so I have very few with her...major bummer!

We celebrated these 2 boys on this trip. 

When there is this many kids, you not only take over the whole run but there it is also very difficult to figure out which way to go....


Grandpa and his gang

Pretty soon we won't all fit on one couch.

Unfortunately our sister/dad ski day did not go as planned. Sarah took a spill the day before and was not able to ski with us for the rest of the trip


Birthday celebration


These 2 have a pretty crazy cool bond since we got to have Maya come to our house after school for her first 2 years of elementary school. 

Grandpa is always willing to sit and read with one (or more) of them

The weather was kind of all over the place while we were there. One day we had about an hour of sun and took as many pictures as we could. The rest of the time it was either cloudy, snowing, windy, or just plain cold. 

SUN!

This year's house was a walk away from the bridge. We spent an afternoon exploring while everyone else went to the pool (the pool ended up being too cold for my kiddos)



2 other ski days. It was so cold that we had to battle frost bite just to take the picture

Although it was cold, every day brought an over abundance of fresh, light, deep powder. It was so much fun to ski in. 


This gang pretty much took over each run they went down

The hot tub was always fun and brought forth lots of shenanigans. Many dares and snow challenges between all the kids. 





So thankful for Grandma for taking care of this sweet little boy. She took him on a lot of adventures and let him spend a lot of time exploring outside. Wish I would have got a picture of the 2 of them together. 


The day off from skiing. 

Once Sarah was out of the skiing section of the trip, Liam was glued to her! So thankful for caring and loving family. Makes it easier for me to spend the day skiing without him to know that his is so loved and well taken care of when I am gone.

Rolling and Reading

Callie rolls ALL over the place!!! One of her favorite places to end up is her bookshelf. Look what I found! As a side note, it looks like one of our cats is finally accepting that Callie is part of the family (or atleast, she isn't going anywhere) and has become very tolerant of her. She lets Callie "pet" her and will even walk up to Callie (which, if you know this cat, is VERY unusual - there are some people who still have never seen her). The other day when I was getting Callie from her nap this was outside her door. Apparently the cat loves Callie enough to bring her toys.

7 Months

This month seemed to have flown by just as quickly as all the others. It's crazy to think she has been part of our family for seven months already. We have had our first real battle (and are still battling) with a never ending cold. She has been a trooper though - although I wish that we could do more to help her. Here's what is new (things have moved very quickly this month): She is up on all fours. She seems to be taking after her cousin Clara, where she can crawl backwards but not yet forwards - which can be very frustrating as the toy she is trying to get to seems to just keep getting farther and farther away. After she learned to get up on all fours, she very quickly learned to go from all fours to sitting. We have yet to find any real foods that she will turn down, although green beans appears to be her favorite so far. When feeding her green beans she will lean forward VERY far and open her mouth as wide as can be just to get the next bite. We can't seem to get

Mothers Day Weekend

We had amazing weather for Mother's Day weekend and tried to enjoy every minute of the summer. On Sunday, Callie and I ran the color run. A 5k through Seattle which involved a lot of dust and color. It was a lot of fun and  I was super proud of her and how she pushed herself. Before the race. Shirts are still white and hair is still normal color. We ran with one of Callie's good friends and her mom.  Bubbles! That was a highlight for Callie, she loved running through the bubbles.  Done! Color and dust everywhere! We spent Saturday with Katy and Dennis and explored Renton and a local beach and park. Callie and Katy The gang! Saturday was so beautiful that we actually went home and the kids ran in the sprinklers and played in the bathing suits all day.
