Labor Day Weekend

Well, someone (me) had this crazy idea to spend Labor day weekend camping. Any other year but this one, it would have been a great idea. This year, it decided to rain the whole time! Let's just say....the kids had fun (the adults not so much). We ended up packing up very wet gear and leaving a day early. I think Saturday night everyone was in bed by 9 - ha! Besides the extremely wet weather, the kids had a blast and we might (just might) try it some other time!
The kids ran around, played games, and even went swimming (in the rainy weather)!

How do you pack a whole weekend worth of things into the car? You cram! Callie and Liam were squeezed into the car as tight as possible!


Snuggles with Grandma. Liam did not sleep great the first night and required some extra love during naps, grandma was more than happy to help!

How do you camp in the rain? You make your own shelter and then don't venture out unless you (or a child) has to use the bathroom

Despite the weather, we made some ice cream

I sure love these two!

How many cousins can fit on one grandpa?

Don't let the smiles fool you - it was miserable weather!

Bennett and Maya were the only two that were truly brave enough to swim

    Looked 'fun....' ;-) I think you lasted longer than I would have. I've gotten soft in my old age. Ha

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.

Another Plane Ride

So, Callie and I spent my spring break in Pennsylvania. It was a wonderful trip and Callie just LOVED being spoiled by all her aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandmas! (she was a bit in shock when we came back home and she was stuck with just mom and dad - she also took a two hour nap the day we got back, which she has never, never (and probably never will again) done, traveling sure is exhausting!). I was a bit nervous about the very long plane ride, but besides not eating at all, Callie did fabulous! Although, she never really did understand why she couldn't grab the people sitting next to us or in front of us. Even though she got sick on the way back, she was still a wonderful traveler. She loved sitting with Grandma and looking out the plane window (yuck!). We met Grandma in Chicago - at that point in time both Grandma and Callie needed a snuggle, so they spent part of our layover cuddling up in the airport. (sorry, I took these with my cell phone) Looking out the ...

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.
