I'd be lying if I said I was sad to see summer go. Because I'm SO ready. Ready for fall, ready for colder weather, for boots and hot lattes and meals in a Crock Pot. Bring it on. I haven't cooked a meal since June or gone to bed before 11pm for a LONG TIME and I'm craving routine again. And I don't think they'd ever admit it, but I think the boys are ready too. :) The last few weeks of August were well spent. We took a drive to Suntop Lookout in Enumclaw. It was beautiful...even though ... Read More
Vegas – 2017 Family Vacation
We're baaaaack! Vegas was a bit of a whirlwind, but oh so fun. We swam, we ate, we sunburned. And we're happy to be home. :) Taking the kids was fun. There's been a lot of changes over the past few years and they've made it somewhat family friendly. Sure, there was some stuff that their little eyes (or even my poor eyes, for that matter) shouldn't be seeing, but they did great. We had a little chat with them before we left and prepared them for the craziness that is Vegas. We took a lot of ... Read More
Mother’s Day
"I never want them to think that the whole world revolves around them, but I want them to know, without a doubt, that my whole world does." - Unknown This Mother's Day was just the way I like it: low key with fajitas. :) We had a great weekend catching up on our favorite tv shows and playing a new game I've fondly named Asian Whack-A-Mole. (Basically, I chuck a giant exercise ball at them and they have to hit it back to me using only their chest. We spent about 2 hours playing this ... Read More
Daffodil Parade
Well we didn't have the best weather for this year's Daffodil Parade, but it didn't stop us from having a good time. Huz decided to walk with Trenton in the parade, so it was just Aidon, Jackson and I cheering from the sidewalk. The band was #129 (yes, that means there were 128 bands/floats/cars/horses/dance teams in front of them) so they were pretty much the last to go. https://youtu.be/daDyY1xOBOU But they were worth the wait. ...

Life Lately
This month is moving way too fast. Usually January is a slow month for us, where we can re-coup from the holidays. But with basketball and band concerts, it's been everything but. This was the second to last Hawks game of the season, where we won. Right before we lost and all our 2017 Super Bowl dreams went down the toilet. Huz is taking it well and I've only had to make 1 lasagna so far. Well, 1 lasagna and 2 6-packs. But I still consider that a win. Trenton had the opportunity to play in ... Read More
