Mother's Day Weekend 2015

We celebrated Mother's Day with my family in Leavenworth this year.  The weather was perfect so we were able to spend our days outside, taking in the fresh mountain air (and more importantly running the kids ragged)  :)

Since Abigail and Kevin took the train last time (and because it was Mother's Day weekend!), I made the request to ride with Miss Abigail this time.

We had such fun!

The views through the North Everett valley were incredible, only surpassed by the scenery of the Cascades.

And while the (ancient, hardly still exists) photographer within was dying to take pictures, the toddler in tow was set on playing puzzles with my phone (said photographer only uses her iPhone for pictures nowadays) so I'm void of any cool shots.

Sigh.

The weekend was spent in the yard starting a garden, riding Gpa's new mower, playing down by the river, and enjoying some time in town.

Kevin's surprised me with an afternoon at Sleeping Lady on Saturday for a foot treatment, massage, and lunch.  It was just what I needed; some time away to decompress and take care of myself.

Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Eager to get on the train.  I had to explain a few times how cutting in line is frowned upon

Getting bored the last half hour...

Passing the property

They made May Day hats!  Of course the boy wanted the "girl" hat and the girl wanted the "boy" hat


An 18 month old can only take so much beer garden

Starting the garden.  All hands on deck

Watering

George's version of watering  :)



We came home Sunday and were able to spend the evening with Mamie, Papa, and Michael for dinner which rounded out the holiday weekend and made it all just right.

I hope everyone enjoyed a relaxing, spoil-worthy weekend.



 Happy Mother's Day!

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...
