Anniversary trip to Suncadia

 Lance and I took a trip to Suncadia in Cle Elum to celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary.  We'd never been there before so decided to check it out without the kids.  We loved it!  So many things to do on the property.  The above pic was halfway through the 1000 stair challenge.  
 After taking the stairs down to the river, we walked along a couple of trails and checked out the scenery.  So beautiful!  The climb back up the stairs was a little more challenging.  Thank goodness there was a breeze!
 The first night we walked to the amphitheater and enjoyed some live music and people watching.  My fav!
The next morning we decided to take a little walk around the property to explore.  Our "little walk" turned into an 8.5 mile walk with a stop at Nelson Farm pool and the winery for lunch.  
 Later that day we spent some time by the pool.  We had to check out the water slides (to report back to the kids, of course). 😆 On our walk back to the lodge we stopped to cheers by the fire.  So fun!
That night we had another date night.  (Best thing about kids free trips!!)  After dinner we stopped to check out live music at the winery and our hotel.  I loved that there was live music everywhere.
 Before heading home we spent some time at Nelson Farm Pool.  

Such a fun and relaxing weekend spent with my love.  Suncadia did not disappoint and I'm already planning another trip back with the kids!

Summer fun

We've had a great start to our summer.  We made it to a Rainiers game early this year.  Hoping to make it to a couple more before the season is over!
Rylee's had 2 sleepovers so far, and Carson's had one.  They've spent lots of time with their friends.  They've been to movies, out to dinner, eaten lots of ice cream, and been to a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese.  This is what summer is all about!  Living their best lives!! 
Carson and Lance have been out fishing a couple of mornings recently.  Carson took his friend Weilan one day , and Weilan was lucky enough to catch a big one!  He was so excited! 
Carson lost 3 teeth this week, and 2 of them he lost today!  He's gonna be rich!  
 They've also been riding their bikes a ton, which I love!  They especially love riding them at skate parks and the BMX track.
I've spent some time with my girlfriends this summer too.  Tania, Angie and I went to the Chelsea Handler comedy show in Seattle and then went to the Hardrock rooftop bar afterward.  It was so fun!  Last week my friend Wendy was in town so we met up for dinner and some bar hopping in Enumclaw.  Love my girls!

Such a great summer so far!  And we're only 2 weeks in!  🌞

Happy Independence Day

We spent 4th of July with our neighbors.   They had a BBQ and tons of fireworks.  The kids had fun with the fireworks for the first hour, then spent the rest of the night on the neighbors new trampoline! 
Such a fun evening!  Happy Independence Day!



Last Day of School

 First day of school vs. Last day of school.  1st and 3rd grade.
I can't believe how much they've grown up!  
Bus stop friends.  We are so lucky to have amazing neighbors and friends.  Not pictured- 2 other 1st grade boys!
