Memorial Day Weekend

We just spent an amazing weekend at the cabin over Memorial Day weekend. Pete turned 40 this month and what better way to celebrate than with a relaxing weekend away. It was a weekend full of smiles, laughter, and fun. We headed down to the beach a couple times to find crabs and other sea creatures. We went for a nice 'hike' - we walked much farther than I expected we would with 5 kids. And played, played, and played.....oh yeah, and there were marshmallows :)

Eli and Preston were in charge of the fire....Eli took the job very seriously and made us signs directing us to where the fire was :)

My little hiker

Ha! He looks thrilled doesn't he :)

These 2 were inseparable....They are so cute together! Everywhere they went they held hands. They even were sure that the games they played included what each other liked. Iron man and Captain America played quite well with Elsa and Anna.

It's rare to find such good friends these days- friends who love your kids as much as you do, share the same beliefs and values, and that you find yourself instantly smiling around. Preston and I are so lucky to have made such good friends as Pete and Rachel. Apparently, we are such good friends that we even match our clothes....ha!

Snuggles with daddy

The highlight of the weekend was the baseball game we played. The kids loved it.....it was all Callie could talk about when we got home. Callie went from not even wanting to try to hit the ball, to wanting to do it with help, to doing it all by herself. Much laughter was heard on this field.

Liam loved hitting the ball.....wasn't so keen on giving the bat up to the next person though

Hiking

Love these two! Wish I knew what they were talking about :)

Marshmallows!

Bikes

We are now a family of 4 pretty impressive bike riders.

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.
