Countdown to CA

Hope everyone had a great Memorial weekend? We did! The weather here was absolutely perfect which always helps. We BBQd with Zac and Kristen on Saturday, shopped and then BBQd with Chrissy and Jason and JJ on Monday.

We only have 2 days left on our countdown until we head to Sonoma for Gabe and Nancy's wedding. So excited, but so much left to do! Don't know how much I'll post until after we get back, but I'll be sure to put up lots of pictures for the recap when we get back!

Blue Skies & Sun!

This past weekend was beautiful in Spokane! Almost hot, even. I watched JJ on Saturday while Chrissy and Jason moved but Seth got lots of yard work done. We didn't have much real play time with Ella outside, but this weather reminded me of the couple of nice days we had earlier this spring. Now that Ella is a toddler she loves being outside and exploring - and man does she hate coming inside! Here are some pics of Ella enjoying spring....

Happy Mother's Day / Weekend Recap

Happy late Mother's Day to all you Moms out there! We had a great weekend! Our trip to the west side was so much fun. The guys did their thing on Saturday, and the girls did theirs. Hopefully it was the send off Gabe and Nancy were hoping for, and they are ready to tie the not in a about 2 weeks! Thanks for putting us up at your place! Ella and Grammy were GREAT together and both were happy and wiped out when we got home Sunday afternoon. It was amazing to get away on our kid free weekend. So strange not having Ella around - so much time on my hands to do what ever I want....wow! We missed Ella like crazy! But I think we'll be doing more time away soon, as long as Grammy is willing.

A weekend away

Seth and I are headed to Seattle this weekend, along with Zac and Kristen, for bachelor/bachelorette parties tomorrow. Gabe and Nancy get married in just 3 weeks, so we're all getting together for one last hurrah - separate parties of course. The guys will be golfing, doing dinner and going out while the girls will be getting pedicures, going to dinner and having a girls night in. It's our first weekend away from Ella but it's time. Grammy is coming up this afternoon to stay with her and they will have a fabulous time! We are so looking forward to having an adults only weekend!

Bloomsday

We survived it! Seth and I made it through 7 point some miles in just over an hour and a half. We're proud considering we hadn't trained. We ran more than we walked.... over all pretty good! Oh my gosh are we tired now. Thanks Grammy for babysitting!

Spring Scrimmage Weekend

Now that another weekend is pretty much here, I'm finally getting around to posting pictures from last weekend. We had a really good time hanging out with Gabe & Nancy. We all drove to Pullman on Saturday and watched the Cougs spring practice. We met my folks there.... Then we headed to lunch at the golf course. Then we had a delicious BBQ steak dinner when we got back to Spokane. Oh, and I made a huge chocolate cake to celebrate Gabe's birthday, so there was that too.... :) As always eating well was a big part of the fun times.

Weekend Plans

Gabe and Nancy come for a visit tomorrow!! Hooray! The annual Coug Football scrimmage is Saturday in Pullman, so we're all heading down for that. Gabe's birthday was Tuesday, so we'll be celebrating that too. Let's hope the weather cooperates.
