Halloween

This Halloween was a very fun year. Both kiddos totally got into trick or treating and we spent the season doing crafts, wearing our costumes as much as possible (Callie), and decorating our pumpkins.
We passed on the pumpkin patch this year due to some major rain and Preston being gone hunting. We picked out our pumpkins at a local stand and managed to get the biggest ones. Liam wanted a truck on his, was very excited when we drew the truck on it, but that was very upset when we actually cut the truck out of the pumpkin. Apparently we didn't explain the process enough to him. 

The day before Halloween, we headed to the zoo to watch the animals play with their pumpkins. Callie was so happy to be able to wear her costume all day, Liam refused :)


On Halloween we had an early dinner and headed out trick or treating earlier because it was a school night. Callie was so excited to show Liam what to do and was fearless going up to the houses. On the houses that Liam was too afraid to go up to, she was sweet enough to get a piece of candy for her brother. Liam dressed as a fire fighter and Callie was dressed as a peacock. 


The first couple houses, Liam was a bit timid. He wouldn't go up to the door and when someone opened it, he'd turn around and walk away. But by the end, he was right up there with Callie.

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 ...
