Mother's Day Weekend

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day weekend.  Whether celebrating or being celebrated, I hope it served you well!


We spent the weekend celebrating Mom's each day: A Mom-athon, lasting Friday through Sunday!

Friday night we went to Anne and Ian's for a Mother's Day BBQ to celebrated Mamie!

Abigail had a blast playing with her cousins and having a slumber party with Lucy at Mamie and Papa's.  Highlights include black and blue burgers, 3 bags of fries (...it's what happens when the pregnant lady is put in charge of carbs), and watching Charlie and Abigail share their meal (we sat their highchairs next to each other, so they enjoyed grabbing off each other's trays)



We left around 9pm to Abigail biding us farewell "G-eye" while eating Cheetos, drinking milk, and watching Shrek 3 with Lucy.  She thought she was pretty cool  (we agree!)


Saturday was spent celebrating my Mom!

We met my parents Saturday morning and headed to Leavenworth for the day to meet with the contractor (more on that later), bask in the sun, take turns water witching (the bars crossed over my stomach when I tried!), and enjoy the beautiful, 90 degree weather.




After the meeting we went to town for lunch at Cafe Christa before making our way home.  Lucky for us, my parents drove so Kevin and I took naps on the way back  :)

Then came Sunday!

The day started with breakfast in bed (Bits joined and we watched Artisocat's while eating), then a casual day relaxing at home, followed by a late brunch at Salty's (my Mother's Day surprise!)





It was Kevin's first time to Salty for brunch.  He was smiling ear to ear after taking a tour of the buffet and commented: "it's a buffet from Heaven!"

He was impressed  :)

And so was Abigail!  She didn't care for the crab, but loved the mac and cheese (duh), and the chocolate fountain (double duh).




Kevin and Abigail,

Thank you for such a fun, memorable Mother's Day.  I am one lucky Mama and love you two so much!

Minnie

I knew this would be a hard post to write, so I've been putting it off. On Monday morning, we said goodbye to Minnie. After months of weight loss I brought her into the vet early this week.    I had been noticing the weight loss, but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I started to see how skinny and malnourished she was getting. The vet determined she was suffering from late-stage hyperthyroidism and her kidneys were shutting down.  It was a painful assessment; why I didn't notice it earlier and help her?  That thought still haunts me. But at 11am on Monday morning, through a mountain of tears, regret, and sorrow, I bid farewell to the most loyal friend I've ever known. Minnie,  You were the first piece to my "own" family.  I remember vividly the day I got you.  It was my 21st birthday and Rebecca and Steph came over bearing a gift (more specifically, a brown grocery bag).  I opened it and looked inside; there you were,...

Lake Wenatchee

Happy Birthday, Kevin! We spent an awesome 4 days on Lake Wenatchee this past weekend; relaxing by the lake, (attempting) to fish, playing in the water, and enjoying quality time together as a family.  Our parents joined us on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Kevin's birthday; a wonderful day full of family, food, and the great outdoors. Weekend highlights include Fish Lake on Friday (Abigail and i will not be invited back for the next fishing adventure...we may have mangled the line more than once), a trip into Leavenworth for pizza and dancing at the gazebo, a steak feast for Kevin's birthday, and relaxing by the bonfire that evening. Here are some pictures of our trip. Friday at Fish Lake "helping" Dad with his tackle While Kevin fished, Abigail and I fed Parmesan garlic pita chips to the ducks. At one point, we had a crowd of 10! Ladies of leisure on the lake  :) This sums up our fishing experience... Thursday evening f...
