Happy Father's Day!

Another boating day, er.... Father's Day, is in the books! It was a busy day celebrating the best Dada there is! First we had a nice breakfast at home with some present opening, then Scott and Evie did a quick walk through of the car show in Issaquah, and then we headed to the boat for a lazy afternoon before going to a friend's house for dinner.

Thanks, Scott, for all that you do to provide for this family and for making the girls the center of your universe! The girls each wrote a cute book about what they love about Scott and here's some gems:

From Nora:

- My dad is 90 years old and weighs 10 pounds

- My dad is really good at working with wood

- My dad is so strong, he can lift a big piece of wood

- My dad likes to eat hot sauce and drink water

- My dad always says "I am so sweet"

From Evie:

- My dad loves it when I snuggle with him

- My dad is funny when he misunderstands

- My Dad never tells me to go to bed

- My dad is the best dad because he is super funny

- He is funny when he does a funny dance

- He makes the best pasta

- He can run faster than a car

Opening presents and cards

Nora being silly. Wonder who she got that from?

Beautiful day on the boat.

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.

Alaska Cruise

We got back from our week long cruise to Alaska and ready to go again! We all had a great time but really the best part of our trip was all the family time we spent with my parents, Way and her family and Kin and his family. I think the last time we all vacationed together was back in 2015 when we all went to Kauai . It was so long ago that not all the littles had even been born yet! So yes, a big family vacay was long overdue. The kiddos loooooved spending time with their cousins, whether it was playing bingo or ping pong, or biking and hiking or just hanging out at meal time or playing mahjong. It helped that since we were all on vacation mode, we didn't push (too hard) on eating healthy or limiting screentime. It also really helped that the service on the ship was so accommodating to the kids and (pretty good) pizza, ice cream and drinks were available at all hours. I was happy with the ship we picked too. The Quantum of the Seas is nearly 20 years old (first sailed in 2014) bu...

Skateboarding

Evie got a skateboard recently so our usual scoot and bike nights now also include her skateboarding. Here's a short video of her, Scott and Nora rolling down the street.
