Pinewood Derby

Jaydan started cub scouts just after his birthday. He LOVES it and is having such a great time. He participated in his first Pinewood Derby at the end of April. 

Mother's Day 2016

A cloudy one... But that didn't detract from the meaning of the day. So blessed to be a mom. 

Ha!

So here we are... 6 months since my last post to blog more 😂

So far in 2016:
February: Jaydan turned 8!
We also took a fantastic trip to San Diego - we stayed in Carlsbad and hit the zoo, Legoland, and the beach. We want to go back!

March: Dirk spoke at a huge strength clinic at UW. So cool. Easter was at the end of the month... And Karly moved home!

April: Jaydan was baptized! Such an amazing day. We are so proud of him!

New Year's Goal 2015

This year my goal is to blog again - keep some sort of journal for our family. 2014 and 2015 have passed since my last post and that's just insane... I mean, we've had another baby since then and celebrated his 1st birthday. Yikes. Fortunately, I discovered ChatBooks over the past couple years so we actually have hard copy albums from Instagram posts - those are fun!

In any case, best to note some highlights from our 2 year hiatus from the blog:

2014
February - Jaydan turns 6
April - Dirk turned 40! We celebrated with a party at the Redmond Bar and Grill. Friends and family came to join us and it was a very fun time. He welcomed the new decade with the same grace I hope to when I turn 40 ;)
June - London turns 5 (Sara missed her party, stuck on bedrest); Camden was born on the 12th, sharing the day with Steve.
July - 4th at Obs. First time for J and L to light off their own fireworks and they had so much fun!
August - 10 year wedding anniversary! We had a casual celebration with a dinner in Redmond.
September - J started 1st grade (Mrs. Bellecourt)
October - Halloween in town: J skipped but dressed as a ghost, L as a unicorn

2015
February - J turns 7
June - London turns 5; London graduated from preschool, J finished 1st grade; Camden turns 1
July - family trip to Sun Cove
August - 11 year anniversary
September - J started 2nd grade (Mrs. Coats), L started kindergarten (Mrs. Mattison, PM); Camden starts walking
October - annual Halloween in town: J Master Chief, L Anna from Frozen, C bumblebee
November - Sara started a small, part time WFH admin position
December - Santa pics at True Value: C was NOT happy

Here's to hoping that I can achieve my NY resolution and keep up with this bad boy again. Cheers!

Season's end

We hit Remlinger for the final goodbye of the season. Dirk got to go too. Lots of fun!

Kids are obsessed with the roller coaster.

Trunk or Treat

Trunk or Treat is always a hit with these two.  Someday they'll look at the camera at the same time right?
