Happy Birthday Evie

By
Wow, 7 years old. It's been a couple years since we hosted a party for Evie, so this year we let her pick something outside of our house with her school buddies. Evie is always making or drawing something so she chose a watercolor class party.

Evie and her 8 buddies (plus Nora) painted a pretty outdoor landscape scene with their instructor providing tips along the way. It looked like fun. To top it off we had yummy chocolate cake. I ate way more than any of the kids, including Nora if you can believe it (she ate a small hole into the middle of her piece).

After recovering back at home and opening a few more presents, we went out for dinner in Issaquah. Evie chose Greek food for the lemon rice soup. The restaurant wait was long, but it was fun. To top off the evening we went out for a little frozen yogurt. Evie didn't choose any old flavor, she chose POG flavor with candy 'Nerds' sprinkled on top. Nora chose, well, not frozen yogurt... but a purple lollipop!

Happy birthday Evie! You are a wonderful little girl.

Her buddies!





And here's some pics of her putting together her party favors a few days ago. Since Evie loves writing in notepads, we go her friends some cool notebooks and gel pens.

Happy new year!!

By
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.

Eating on the road

By
With all the COVID restrictions on restaurants and Scott not liking takeout service, we've gotten pretty good at planning meals for days we are out and about. We've basically taken to tailgating... a lot! It is nice though that it means having a hot meal to warm up after a day of playing in the snow and I'm not going to lie - it is also a good excuse to eat instant noodles because it is fast and easy and warming!   For overnight stays, we end up doing instant pot meals like one-pot spaghetti or chili, or easy meals like a cheese plate or sandwiches. It does save on $ so that's definitely nice but man, I can't wait to go out to restaurants again! Beef and barley soup lunch at Mt Baker. Chillin' with Chili at Crystal Mountain. Beautiful but cold picnic in Wenatchee Little girl loving her hot ramen over Blewitt Pass Jook after sledding at Crystale Springs Chicken Noodle Soup in the snow at Salmon Ridge. Pho bowls under the ferry awning at Diablo Lake.

Glass art

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.
