Thanksgiving 2017

Well....thanksgiving was amazing....so amazing in fact that we took no pictures.

We had a an amazing time with the Knowles side of the family. We got to enjoy the company of Gram, Barbe, Rick, Megan, and Grady. It was a day full of games, fun, and relaxation. Its amazing how the kids get older how much easier it is to actually relax.

On Saturday after Thanksgiving, Callie completed her first children's marathon. 25 miles were completed at home over 1 1/2 months and the last 1.2 miles was completed in Seattle. I am so proud of her! This was difficult for her and I love the fact that she persevered through her difficulties and never gave up.

Completed!

At the starting line and ready to go

Liam and Preston came along and cheered her on

We took advantage of being downtown and spent the morning exploring and being tourists in Seattle.

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

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 ...
