Headed to Maui in 3 Weeks!

In three weeks John and I are headed to Maui for a week of just that.  Clearing our heads and relaxing   We are taking our first trip ALONE, without children in 6 years.  This is a BIG deal.  I'm a bit nervous, but will get over it the second I board the plane without a stroller, car seat, diaper bag, snacks, DVD player and toys!  Thanks you John for planning this amazing, much needed getaway!  Kaanapali here we come!

First Day of Pre-K

Hudson started pre-kindergarten today.  This is his fourth year of preschool and second year at Kids at the Creek.  He was so excited, not at all nervous and I was a mess.  I wasn't a mess because of anything that was happening today.  I just couldn't help thinking that this time next year he will be off to kindergarten. Most likely he will be excited and again I will be a mess.

Olvia is three!

Today we celebrated Olivia's 3rd birthday.  Shelbi did a amazing job with an over the top pony party.  She didn't miss a thing, there were ponies everywhere, hats for the kids, hay to play in, pony rides and more.  It was pony perfection!

Summer Fun

We have been having a lot of fun enjoy the summer sun.  We have been playing at the splash park, seeing friends after 20 years, enjoying snacks by the pool, building sand castles, playing in Lake Washington, oh and one of us climbed Mt. Rainier! 

Mukilteo Beach

Shelbi and I took the kids to Mukilteo Beach the other day and it was cold, windy and cloudy...the kids had a blast!  I love that they can make the best of anything.  Shelbi and I sipped our Starbucks and daydreamed about sunshine.

Spokane

The boys and I just got back from a quick trip to Spokane to see my parents.  We had some fun new adventures over there.  We rode the carousel, rode real ponies, and spent a lot of time at the splash park.  I even had time to fit in some shopping.

Happy Birthday Mady & Henry Banks

How many people (that aren't twins) get to share their birthday with their brother or sister?  Mady and Henry are two sweet kids of our dear friends that share a birthday.  Yesterday we went to Remlinger Farm in Carnation to celebrate Henry turning one and Mady turning four.  It was a beautiful day and the kids had so much fun!
