Since we couldn't take Huz to the US Open for Father's Day this year, we thought maybe mini-golf would be a close 2nd. Happy Father's Day Huz! You are the best fit for our crazy family and I'm so thankful to do life with you. We love you to the moon and back! ... Read More
Mother’s Day
I remember interviewing for various jobs when I was a teenager and whenever they would ask me where I saw myself in 10 years, my answer was always the same. I wanted to be a mom. I probably missed out on a lot of good job opportunities because of that answer (my long term goal was to get pregnant, not upper management) but it was just something I knew. I'd been planning my family since I was 15. I wanted 3 boys and 1 girl; I even had their names picked out. Until I got older and realized my life ... Read More
Jones Boys Lately
Trenton: He smells like pepper. Literal pepper, people. Those lovely teenage hormones have kicked in and even though he showers once a day, he still smells.

Pretty soon I'll be skipping the plugin and just sprinkling the oil directly on them. The Ice Cream Man is making a killing off our ... Read More
December Rewind
December has been a whirlwind. I usually try to do a weekend recap, but I'm exhausted and still recovering from the last few weeks, so this is the best it's gonna get! We took the kids up to Snowflake Lane in Bellevue for the first time and it was awesome. If you're local, it's worth the drive and the traffic. And the mess of people. :) It was raining and there was a 2 hours wait to eat at every restaurant we went to, but it was a blast. I think you just have to go up expecting it to be ... Read More
Happy Halloween
Preface: I'm still recovering from the sugar coma I was in all of Sunday. We had such a fun Halloween with the kids' friends Saturday night. We threw them another Halloween Party, and as usual, I made too much food and came out with way more candy than I started with. So, yeah, I'd call it a success! :) Spooky Hot Chocolate Bar! They loved walking around with cups of hot cocoa, but pretending it was coffee. All the cool kids drink coffee. :) And when they were done with their drinks, ... Read More
