Six!

This summer has truly flown by. I know that I seem to say this every year, and every year it seems to go quicker. The lack of posts this summer is testament to the fun and adventures we have been having. Please excuse the order of my posts - they will be a bit mixed up.

I'm going to start with 6! I can't believe this girl turned six. She is such an adventurous light in my life. I pray that she never loses her adventurous side and that as she gets older she enjoys trying new things and taking off to see the world. I love this little girl so much and am so proud of how hard she works at things. I am proud to be her mom and love her to the moon and back. I just wish time would slow down just a bit, she is already looking forward to turning 7. If you ask her how old she is: "6 going on 7"

She made it very easy on us this year for her birthday. She requested going to the gym again this year, and we were happy to make that happen. The kids played and sweated for 2 hours straight, only stopping for cupcakes and water. It's safe to say that all the kiddos had a blast.


On her actual birthday she requested to go camping. We tried somewhere new and it will now become a regular spot of ours. We headed to the White River Campground in the Mount Rainier National Forest. It was so nice to just unplug for 4 days and hike, explore, and get as dirty as possible. We woke every morning with Callie asking where we were going hike today and tried some new (and beautiful) adventures.










Callie made us breakfast - it was delicious!

Oh....and Liam got dirty.....really dirty!






And....Callie got her ears pierced!

which included a manicure :)

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 ...
