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

How many cousins can fit on one grandpa?

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

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 ...

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.
