Chris has been looking at speakers for our media room that will be in our basement once its done. We decided to go to Best Buy to look at their selection, and for Chris to listen to a few different options. When we were at one Best Buy listening to their set up, golf was … [Read more…]
Ryan has started to play tether ball at school, and LOVES it. Chris briefly mentioned that maybe one day we could build our own tether ball pole, and Ryan has held him to it. Of course it didn’t happen as quickly as Ryan wanted, but finally we had a nice weekend, all the supplies we … [Read more…]
This weekend Chris was able to get some yard work done. We got about a ton of big rocks to build up our retaining wall in the front of the house so that our front yard is a little more level and less of a hill. Chris just picked up one load so he was … [Read more…]
Another sunny day, another adventure. Chris picked Snoqualmie Falls for this outing. Another place we’ve been to plenty of times before. I typically really enjoy this location, and this hike so I was really looking forward to our outing. Its about 45 minutes from our house and I really enjoy the drive, so really it … [Read more…]
Since Ryan had so much fun riding bikes in Kent, we decided to go ride bikes again, this time in Bothell. Chris found a nice bike path near Blyth Park and away we went. This time Chris brought his bike so he could ride with Ryan. We decided it best if the boys rode their … [Read more…]
We are finally having nice weather again and we are taking a small break from working on the house, so we decided to take the bikes out and have the kids ride their bikes. As most of my decisions are made, around food, we decided to go ride bikes around Kent, so we could eat … [Read more…]
We’ve kept up with our reading goals pretty well this month! The kids have read aloud every day this month as well! Lillian hit a break through this month and was feeling confident enough to read by herself! We got her a few books that had the sounds she knew and she worked hard at … [Read more…]
February was a weird month here! We were stuck inside most of the month thanks to the massive snow storms we kept getting, but yet the month flew by! We started the month off, out of school with snow and ended the month home with sickness (kids have colds/fevers). During the snow days we were … [Read more…]
February has been quite the month here in the Seattle area! In the month of February we would have been to school only 8 days! (And only 4 of those will be -fingers crossed because they haven’t happened it yet-full days. ) Friday the first we had no school, scheduled teacher work day?) The next … [Read more…]
As long as I can remember I have loved reading. Last year I had a goal to read 100 books. I hit that goal with 105 books. Although I feel like I cheated a little bit and counted some of the chapter books I read with my kids in there. This year I decided on … [Read more…]
Porpoise Bluff-Sharpe Park Pass-None Difficulty 2.5/5 Rating: 3/5 Beth came back for another visit! Beth hasn’t been for a visit in almost a year! (I think that’s a record for her!) She was browsing for flights to come see us, and found a … [Read more…]
This year was a weird one for us. We did a lot, and had a lot of fun, but we also had more stress than we probably have had our whole married life. The end of 2017 we were in a car wreck and Chris also was made a manager. Those two things kind of … [Read more…]
We had a great Christmas this year! (Aside from EVERYONE getting sick.) Lillian got sick first, then Ryan, then me, then Chris. It was rough, so the whole break someone was sick sometime. We didn’t want that to stop us from having a good time and getting stuff done! Chris took just over a week … [Read more…]
This Thanksgiving was super special because…I HAVE A KITCHEN!!!! I have counter tops, and cabinets, and a sink, and a dishwasher, and a garbage disposal, and an oven and stove, and a microwave. I was so happy and so excited! Chris took off the week of Thanksgiving to get some work done on the house. … [Read more…]
This summer during the big chunk of our remodel the kids were stuck inside with not much to do. Chris was either at work or working on the house, and I was working on the house. To help entertain the kids we let them play video games or watch TV. Great parenting I know, but … [Read more…]
