It’s all about Maya today! Nine years ago we were in MEXICO for Auntie Yoda and Uncle Craigles’ wedding weekend extravaganza, which resulted in one of my favorite ever Maya photos.

The blonde hair! The dress! The cheeks! The face!

And then we have her having fun at Boom’s house.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hey all!  The weekend FLEW by.  I can't believe it is already Sunday night.  

Yesterday, while G-ma took Callie to do some fun highlighting of her hair, the rest of us worked in Callie's room to build her a new bed!  Unfortunately the only "after" picture I got was when it was dark and she just had her LED lights on.  Luna was super helpful, as you can see.

That afternoon/evening, my cousin Andy, his wife Beth, and their boys Donald and Frederick came over for games and dinner.  It was great to catch up with them- it had been awhile!

This morning I started my 10K training and then Cal and I went shopping for an outfit she will wear to a concert we are going to in a few weeks!  Maya wanted to be included in the photo, seeing as she still had her jammies on at 2pm...

Then later we had some cousin time, and none of them could focus on smiling for a photo when PRINGLES were brought out for snack time!

Have a good week!

TGIF, people! TGIF.

At 3:40 today and I met Maya off the bus. I realized I had taken exactly ZERO pictures so far this week. So Maya delivered some quality photo content for this post on the blog for you all.

Have a good weekend!

First up- Cal.

And then we have Maya and Mitchell!

A Weekend Wrap-Up

Hi all!  Happy President's Day Weekend!  We had a busy few days with some fun activities.

On Saturday we met Boom at Pinstripes for brunch and bowling!

Later we went to Isla's 3rd birthday party!

The girls had fun with the ice cream sundae bar.

Yesterday the big outing of the day happened in the evening…Chris took the girls skiing while I read my book in chalet.

Today Maya went to lunch and the Dragons Love Tacos show with Pa, Mitchell and Uncle Dan. 

The rest of us just hung around home. It was a relaxing day.

Have a good week!

Happy Friday! Photos from the week include an Ash Wednesday Valentine’s evening…

…snow (and me, thinking I lost my purple sunglasses)…

…and a FaceTime with the birthday girl!

Tonight Maya has gymnastics and then had some Luna snuggle time before bed.

Have a great weekend! We get Monday off (HOORAY) so I’ll be back on Monday night for the weekend wrap-up.

Happy Birthday Isla!!

This girl is 3 today!!!

Happy birthday little lady! We love you and hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️

I’ll be honest, these days every holiday where I have historically taken a picture I wonder if they’ll be willing to keep the tradition going. Thankfully, they cooperated this morning! 

And as usual, we gotta go back in time. 

Have a lovely day!

I got some sweet, sweet faces for you today.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday! The weekend flew by, as usual.  Yesterday morning I got out for a 3 mile walk/jog/run and made it over to my favorite pedestrian bridge with a pretty view. 

Later, we dropped the girls off at Boom's house for a sleepover!

Then Chris and I went with Jeremy and Jennifer and his sister and brother-in-law to try a Squid Game Virtual Reality game.  It included movement sensors on our arms and legs, a vibrating vest, and big VR goggles.  There were an about 6 or 7 mini-games we played (i.e. Simon Says, "walking" across a bridge with tiles that fall, etc.).  It was pretty fun, and the best part was getting some video clips emailed to us after. 

When we told Callie what we were doing, she immediately predicted that I would be "killed" first.  Thankfully, the game didn't involve killing, but I did score the least number of points overall and got in last place.  When I texted her the couple of videos we got, her only response was below on the right, along with a screen grab from a video of what the bridge game looked like on the left.

"last place".  It feels so good to get such support from my teenager. 

Anyway, if you're curious about the videos, click here!

 
Today we hung out with Uncle Dan, Auntie Hanna, Mitchell and Isla for the Super Bowl! We had snacks, made pizza, and danced!

Have a good week!

Happy Friday!

It’s been another doozy of a week. February is a pretty tough month in schools, even if the weather is nice. It’s just a slog. 

But the girls enjoyed the weather after school a couple times this week.

I started reading a “new” book from Half Price Books, and this random bookmark fell out of it. It was a nice little (and much needed) day brightener.

Have a good weekend!

This warm February is both nice and totally freaky!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hey everybody! Happy Sunday! 

We had a nice weekend just relaxing and seeing the cousins.

Yesterday Maya went to a gymnastics open house. 

Then we headed to Boom’s house and had some playtime with Auntie Yoda, Lucy, Mila and Boom, and then dinner out at Punch Pizza! 

After dinner we went back to Boom’s for some Wonka soundtrack dancing and a flute lesson.

Today I actually saw the sunrise!

This afternoon Mitchell, Isla and Auntie Hanna came over and we walked/scooted/biked to the library for some playtime. 

The later Hanna and I escaped for a couple of happy hour margs!

Click here for some videos from the weekend, and have a good week!

TGIF! This was another looooooong week and somehow we made it to February! I can’t believe how nice it has been outside, so we took advantage of that. Plus Lung got love, as usual, and I stopped by the cemetery.

Have a good weekend!
