Arizona

I realize I am a bit behind on updating the blog (Liam's 8 month post will be up shortly) and am trying to update.
The kids and I spent a wonderful (and hot) 5 days visiting Gram in Arizona. It was amazing!!! Callie had a blast (she got to swim everyday - she was in heaven!) and Liam loved the freedom of no schedule! It was a lot of fun and I am so happy for our kids to be able to spend so much quality time with their great grandma. I am sure she is still resting from the whirlwind that is an 8 month old baby and a 3 year old girl. We went to the children's museum, the zoo, and swam every day. Although I would probably choose not to fly with an 8 month old and 3 year old by myself again, it was worth every minute!
These pictures are a bit out of order but I don't want to spend time getting them organized :)
The vacation was completely exhausting for both kids! We worked them very hard every day with hopes that they would both be amazing sleepers and I could get a good night sleep as well. Liam crashed whenever he got a chance! Callie is trying to wake him up without really waking him up....she knew she would get in trouble if she woke him up....oddly enough, he was awake in about  5 minutes after I took this picture :-) Callie, of course, claims she had nothing to do with it!

Enjoying an evening swim

Callie soaked up the vacation life....she blended right in 

Tired snuggles with Gram

This poor boy caught something from the airplane on the way to Arizona and was pretty zonked a bit of the trip. A lot of congestion.....a lot of rest
I love this! 

Callie was very tired at the end of each and every day!

More swimming....

and more smiles!

We headed to the zoo and enjoyed the shade and the animals!
Brother and sister love (I had to bribe her to take a picture)

The new giant turtle

She was so excited because there were bears
I love this picture!

Callie loved spending time with Gram!

The plane ride

Callie's highlight for the airplane trip was the lollipop she got to eat during landing and take off

We also spent a morning at the children's museum. We had a blast!

Liam loved that he didn't have to stay cooped up in the stroller

But he wasn't so sure about this super cool tunnel

This picture is for Grandpa :)

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.
