tank turns 8

We love our Tank! We're so grateful he's apart of our family. Whenever he isn't around, everyone comments on how bored they are. He definitely likes to make jokes and get all of us laughing. He loves figuring out how things work and putting stuff together. When Andrew isn't around, I ask him for help on such things. He loves gardening, biking, fishing and swimming. And he is always up for keeping care of and playing with Mr. 

This is just a funny story I want written down. Tank loves music and really wanted an MP3 player. I wasn't so keen on the idea of him shooting straight into teenage hood, wearing headphones and listening to music in his room. So we settled on him getting a radio. Every night he listens to some music while falling asleep. One night I was reading to him with the radio on in the background and a commercial came on for the local pot shop advertising how great pot was. I looked at Tank and said, I think it's time we get you an MP3 player or an Echo dot. To which Tank replied, 'I know, they almost have me convinced to switch to Geico.' Oh man, I love this boy. He started earning an Echo Dot right after this.

Happy birthday Tank, we LOVE you!




father's day

Andrew is definitely a favorite around here. We are all so grateful for him and loved celebrating him on Father's Day this year.

spring break

We headed to Utah for spring break this year and had a great time. Lucky for us, Andrew's sister's family overlapped with us for a bit! It's always a good idea to hang out with family. We did lots of swimming, playing, chatting and eating. We also ended up going to the Bingham canyon mine one of the days. It was crazy how big all the equipment was! We all can't wait to visit Utah again!

Bitsy turns 5

Bitsy turned 5 this year! She is such a great part of our family. She is nurturing, kind and always up for something fun. She loves babies, and all things mermaids and unicorns. She loves small little treasures she likes to keep on her nightstand and a good stuffy to imagine and snuggle with. We love this little ray of sunshine in our lives!





new year's eve

This past New Year's eve we went sledding at White Pass with my side of the family. It was a lot of fun and we're sensing a tradition coming on!















leavenworth

This past past winter we made our annual trek up to Leavenworth. It was fun to look around and sled again. This year, they had some games going on in the main town square. Bug was brave enough to try the hacky sack race. She almost won, but right at the end, the hacky sack fell off her foot.
