Spring Break '16

Having kids out of school for spring break was something new to us this year, and I'm not sure we will be ones to regularly take off to do something, but this year we decided it would be nice to spend the week in Leavenworth.

Kevin worked in town the first few days, then took off Thursday and Friday to spend an extended weekend playing with us.

We spent an afternoon in Wenatchee at Pybus Market, went on daily walks down the lane to see the horses and train, rode the ATV, and did all the other usual things (dinner in town, campfires, tons of outdoor time).

Here are pictures from our week!

He slept like crap ALL WEEK.  But in our bed he slept best (relatively speaking)

We put these (toy) guns away within minutes (after both A and G pointed them at each other, us, and in their eyes and mouths).  It was just a bit disturbing.  Ha!

So focused

Cutting to the chase



We are headed back this coming Thursday (the big kids and Kevin will take the train over that evening!)  to celebrate my Dad's 70th birthday, and I can't wait to spend the weekend in one of my favorite places during it's most lovely season.

Ahhhh.

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...
