Roll Up, Roll Up

We celebrated George's first birthday with a circus themed affair last weekend and had so much fun catching up with family and friends!



As always, I found myself running around, having less than full conversations with every person I spoke to, and feeling generally frazzled, but such is the life of the hostess :)

(as I say at the end of each party: next year I'll hire a caterer and photographer!)

In keeping with a circus themed event, we had a bouncy house, hot dog bar, peanuts, kid friendly popcorn (cheese puffs), pin the nose on the clown, and a circus tent smash cake.

It was such a fun party!




The red dye on George's cake was a bit much for our birthday boy, but once he found his way around it, it was a smooth sailing sugar rush!






Of course Abigail joined in on the smash  :)

After having her hair and face grabbed by a cake covered brother, she figured he owed her a few bites!






Getting bathed and cleaned up took a while, but once that was done, we were able to relax and spend the rest of the day visiting with family and friends.

Here are more pictures from the day!






















Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate George's special day!

Having a big, festive celebration helped make our new house feel like home, so we appreciate everyone who took the time to come.

And a final, very happy birthday wish to my sweet baby boy.



I really can't believe you're one.

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...

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound.  Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins  :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

It's Santa Time!

Kevin and I kicked it up a notch this year for our annual visit to Santa with dinner at Hamanasu followed by a night at the Hyatt! We've been waiting to make this a bigger deal (add the overnight piece) for a few years, but this was the first year we felt the kids were old enough for it - and it was sooo much fun!
