Boot Camp Birthday

My sweet boot camp friends had a little pre-birthday celebration. It wasn't much but it was enough to make me feel loved. And that's all you really need for your birthday. 

I usually lead the workout but they took over for the day.  (It was nice to get a little break from it).  Then they ended with a morning muffin complete with a birthday candle. 

What a great way to start off my birthday weekend!

 

(There were only 4 ladies this morning but we usually have a few more). 

Sing me a Song

Ollie had his 2nd grade concert this past week called "Sing me a Song". It's always fun watching the kids perform. They do a fabulous job. And since they are on the shorter side they always end up near the front row....if not in the front row. 

Black Wolves

Colt has had three basketball games now. He is playing on the Black Wolves (even though their jerseys are blue). Brad is coaching this team too. 

It's a joy to watch him play.  Especially all his facial expressions. 

 

Black Bombers

Brody had another great season of Black Bombers basketball. Brad coached again.  They didn't win all their games but they played some well coached basketball. 

We LOVE watching Brody play.  He is such a hard worker.

End of year celebration.

This girl

Darby took my phone again. She likes to type on it. And I guess she also likes to take pictures and videos too.  Silly girl. 

Date #5 - Skiing

I arranged for playdates for all the kids so we could make it out on our fifth date of January.  We went up to the pass to ski together.  It was wonderful and Brad was incredibly patient.   I'm very rusty and have never been a great skier so it took me awhile to get used to it again.  We were able to get some runs in before my legs got too tired. 

I'm so thankful we had this afternoon together.  

And especially thankful that my kids have friends and their parents are willing to let them come over for an extended period of time. 

Ladies weekend

Somehow I was able to pull off a ladies weekend with my soccer friends.  (It seems like there is never a perfect weekend to getaway so I just have to make it work) 

We have been doing this for 8 years (although I think we missed one year) and it is always such a great time.  It's a perfect combination of relaxing, hanging out, doing things and getting some rest.  This year we were able to stay at Heather's Orcas Island House.  (We have been here for soccer campouts and our own family trip). 

This year we also had a chance to volunteer at a trail race.   Something I have always wanted to do so doing it with friends and with no obligations to get back to was the perfect scenario. 

We finished this 1500 piece puzzle with 15 minutes to spare.  That was intense.
