A Picture Update: Summer Week 3

Hey all!  Happy Friday!  We had a nice 3rd week of summer.

Monday and Tuesday- a nice new chicken salad recipe and relaxing on the porch.

Wednesday- some solo paddle boarding, fun with Mila and a wine tasting event.

Thursday morning- a beautiful sunrise.

Maya had band camp this week, some basketball and pedicures!

Have a good weekend!

And when your own children refuse to take photos with you, you borrow someone else’s.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday! We had a busy fun weekend! 

Yesterday we all went to Inside Out 2, which I highly recommend! And then G-ma came over to hang with the girls (and take them to DQ!) which Chris and I went to the Lynx game, where it was Pride night and we got bucket hats!

Today Maya mowed the lawn for the first time while I went with G-ma and Auntie Cat to celebrate Chris’ cousin Beth at her bridal shower! 

Tonight we hung out with Mitchell and Isla, including some basement play time and going to our neighbor’s grad party (complete with Kona Shaved Ice).

Have a lovely week! 

A Picture Update: Summer Week 2

Hey all!  Happy Friday!  Week 2 of summer was a busy one.

The girls helped with VBS all week, so we had to be up and out of the house by 8:15am Monday through Thursday.  I think they had fun (though claimed not to, but they were ready to go back each morning).

On Monday night Maya and I went to the Lynx game, where we got pretty close to Prowl, and saw Sylvia Fowles from across the way (more on her later).

Other things from the week...Maya and I hung out for a bit at Petco and Luna was crazy, as usual.

The weather this week was WEIRD.  It was either super humid and hot, super chilly, rainy, or somehow a combination of all three...?  But Maya and I met the Dahlen's at the pool on a hot but cloudy/windy afternoon, I went for a run on a rare sunny morning, and then did some organizing and yoga with Luna.

On Wednesday night Chris and Callie went to the Lynx game, where they got REALLY up close and personal with Sylvia Fowles...Callie met her and got a photo!  It was thrilling to get that photo sent to me on my phone.  We just LOVE the Lynx...both current and super famous and talented past members of the team!

On Thursday, while the girls finished up VBS, I finished organizing the panty and fridge.  And then Maya took some pictures that showed up on my phone.

Thursday night I went out with Laura, Jennifer and Jenna to dinner (with a blood orange margarita!) and a comedy show at the beautiful State Theater.

Maya is sleeping over at Boom’s house tonight, where they made a “Dog Adoption Center.” 

Have a great weekend!

Today is the story of a dress that has gone through 5 cousins!

Weekend Wrap-Up: Happy Father’s Day!

It’s Father’ Day, a forever bittersweet day. Happy Father’s Day to my dad, to Chris, to Pa and all the other great dads, uncles and grandpas we have been blessed with.

On to the weekend. Chris and Callie went to the Lynx game on Friday night and got to meet one of the starters, Alana Smith, after the game!

Yesterday was busy and productive at home, and then the girls did some goofy dancing in the basement last night.

Today we had a great lunch at Hell’s Kitchen with Boom, Auntie Yoda, Uncle Craigles, Lucy and Mila.

Later we hosted a Father’s Day dinner with the Goose side, complete with a homemade Maya game, bbq chicken and root beer floats.

Have a good week! Stay cool (and dry)!

A Picture Update: Summer Week 1

Hey all! Happy Friday! I know that I’m going to blink and it’s going to be August, so I’m trying to relish in the summer slowness, even when the days with a tween and teen can get sassy.  

Here’s what we were up to this week:

1) Maya being a goof

2) Maya at the pool

3) A delicious dinner at Hola Arepa 

4) Hanging at Boom’s (the girls) and cleaning the porch (me)

5) A trip to the beach (and paddleboarding…finally)!

6) The Farmer’s Market with cousins

Have a good weekend!
