Seattle Quickie

12 hour drive to Cle Elum to pack up Kitty's cabin. Unload everything in Redmond. Fabulous dinner in Bellevue then drive home. I'm so thankful Oma is moving to a city where people can take care of her if needed. 

Love Those Utes!

I've been so lucky that Justin has been purchasing season tickets because it sure has been fun watching my favorite team! GO UTES!

Little Man Loves the Baseball

Wouldn't poppy be proud?!

Birthday Cake!

For Madison's 14th birthday the girls went to "One Sweet Slice" and made their own cakes!! What a fun and nut free treat for her!! Happy birthday Maddy! 

Coalville!

With all the hustle and bustle of moving, we had to cancel several planned summer camping trips. But not this one! We really wanted to get at least one trip in before summer ends.  We went to our all time favorite, Holiday Hills in Coalville. Nothing better than relaxing and fishing and enjoying time with Nana and BePa.  Grandma Carol and Grandpa Bob came up too!  We played charades and finished off the night with some over sized s'mores. What could be better?

1st Day of Middle School

Both the kids are in the same school this year! This makes me one happy momma to have the same schedule again. Sis started 8th and little man started 6th. He was really excited to start middle school. Sis was just really excited to get back to school and have some schedules and routines (she takes after her momma!)

Pioneer Day!

I got to spend Pioneer Day with the cutest little man I know.  Lukey and I got to hang out with our closest friends at Holli and Shon's while watching some awesome fireworks, munching delicious BBQ and relaxing with our besties.

Summertime All Stars

Sis played on an All Star softball team this summer. What a different experience from rec! We were playing four games a weekend!  It was hot and exhausting and she did her very best and learned a lot. I'm so proud of her commitment and desire to play. Go Knights!

Time for a Change

We needed a change. So we moved! It was crazy how it happened. We JUST remodeled the kitchen and one day (June 24th) Justin said "Lets put the house on zillow.com and feel the water". Well I listed it higher than we thought we could get for it (no agents, just on our own, no sign in the ground) and we had a showing within four hours. We received a full price offer in six hours and another viewing the following day with an above full price offer! 24 hours later it was gone baby gone.  We were under contract within 72 hours and began our hunt for a house (we NEVER thought it'd happen like that so we hadn't looked for a house yet).  We looked at several and nothing was quite right until we came upon this one.  The stars were aligned and we were able to pack up our entire house, close on both houses on the same day, and move into our new house all within a month. CRAZY! Thank God for amazing friends who were able to help us move all our stuff or we never could have done it. Anyway-home is where the heart is and we're home.
