Summer Fun

It's been a while since I've posted....sorry! Callie and I have been enjoying our summer start and have been staying very busy. Although we have not really had summer weather here, we've been creative in our outings. Here's some pictures from some of the things we have been doing.....

We have spent a lot of time in our backyard this year. We decided to rip all the grass and plants out and level and replant. Callie got a kick out of the diggers that were housed in our backyard.


We have taken quite a few trips to the zoo already. We are very lucky to be stuck right between the Tacoma and Seattle zoo - I love both of them!
Callie loved the monkeys - she talked about them for days. She couldn't get past the fact that they were eating in their beds!


My little goof ball!

We really like this too - the seal kept swimming right up to Callie and she would giggle each time he rubbed against the glass.

It has been raining quite a bit around here - so instead of staying inside, we have splashed in tons of puddles!

Rachel and the boys introduced us to a new park. It was very fun - the beach, crabs, a ferry boat, and a playground.....it was heaven!

We spent Father's day planting flowers - I couldn't get Callie out of her church dress :-) It was very muddy afterwards.

Mixing the dirt with papa. 

We have headed to a lot of playgrounds. It is so nice that she is more independent on the playgrounds.

The swings are her favorite!

We spent an afternoon washing the bus.....

We headed up to Hoodsport for Kristine's and Katy's birthday. Callie had her first Graham taco and loved it!


Amy was nice enough to let us try out her backpack - Callie really enjoyed it. 


We picked a lot of flowers on our walk

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.

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 ...
