Father's Day

Happy Father's Day, Scott Simpson! We had a fun day celebrating you, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! 

It started off as a lazaroni day catching up on sleep, work and laundry while the girls had some screentime and played in the piles of (clean) laundry. We headed out to a local chinese place for lunch but got sidelined by signs for a new dumpling restaurant in the same complex and we just HAD to try it! It was interesting and pretty yummy - it was the first time I've ever seen dumplings panfriend in an entire sheet where you can actually eat the "paper" that it's fried on. The girls loved it.

Then we headed to the boat. Sadly, the power somehow ran out so the battery was dead on the boat. It ended up being okay because that gave Scott plenty of time to wash the boat (his favorite thing to do!) while we let the fridge get cold again. We made it out onto the lake for about an hour and it was really crowded. The gorgeous weather today (80s, but windy out on the water) brought everyone out!

For dinner, we walked from the boat up to a new Ethan Stowell restaurant called Super Bueno. I have recently picked up saying "no bueno" from a coworker and I have a feeling I'm going to be saying that "super buneo" now a lot instead! Anyway, the restaurant had new takes on Mexican and also had a kids playarea that kept the girls pretty entertained while Scott and I sat back and sipped on our Red Jalapeno Margaritas (which were delicious!).

Waiting to surprise Daddy!

He's almost here!! 

Captain Daddy.

Watermelon and Mint salad with poprocks (!!) and chili. It was pretty good.
The best though, were the churros and dulche de leche dip. The coconut lime sorbet was pretty good too.

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.  

Ski weekend in Leavenworth

We had made plans many moons ago to take the MLK weekend for a short getaway to the Leavenworth area. We've been a few times in years past and it's always a fun place to visit especially in the wintertime. But this year, with COVID and all, we weren't sure whether we wanted to go but I'm super happy that we went. We had a blast and was able to keep safe by keeping to ourselves! First up, we left bright and early so that we can pack in a snowshoe/winter hike on the drive over. The last time we went , we had stopped for some snowshoeing on the way back and it was epic! Unfortunately, this time the snow was old and not nearly as soft and fluffy so while it was a nice diversion with some pretty views, it wasn't as great as we had hoped. The fun part though, was that we brought our camping stove with us so we did some tailgating in the parking lot and had a fancy ramen meal for lunch. It was super nice to warm the belly with the yummy noodles and broth! That evening, we ...

Harmonica girl

Evie saw Ian's video playing the harmonica so of course had to get one. She's been playing up a storm. Good thing it keeps both of the girls entertained!
