Father's Day Activities

For Father's Day, Michael just wanted to be home with his family so we decided to have a low key day. The kids ran around, played, took a good nap (which was nice), and we set up the bouncy house for them again. All in all it was a great day!

Happy Father's Day!!

Happy Father's Day to my dad and of course my husband!! You two are the strongest most loving men I know and I'm lucky to have you both!

Redmond Beer Festival

For Father's Day (well, the day before on our date), we decided to brave the stormy weather and head to the beer festival in Redmond. We had a blast tasting a bunch of different kinds of beer, ran into several friends and listened to live music! So funny that we didn't realize that kids were able to go until we got there. Hard to not think about the kids when you are surrounded by quite a few, but it was still a great time!

Mommy loves the snapchat filter that puts a flower crown on your head! I need one of these in real life! :)

Off to the Aquarium

It had been a while since we'd been to the aquarium and it was a pretty nasty morning out on Saturday, so we headed indoors.. and so did everyone else. Then Michael reminded me that school is now out for the summer which overcrowds everything!

We did get to see the seal that came right up to the twins though which they thought was so cute! They had trouble understanding it was not a doggy, but loved the up close view!

Morning Snuggles and Our Saturday

The best part of weekends is that the kids have started to 'sleep in' just a little longer (when I say sleep in, I mean 6:30am which is still better than nothing!). It results in a lot of bed head and snuggles while watching their favorite show Bubble Guppies and we love every moment of it.

They are both so particular when they wake up. They HAVE TO have their blankets and both of their stuffed animals (doggy and froggy) or else they will just sit there and cry. So funny how attached they are to both the blankets and stuffed animals.

Bouncy House Fun with the Big Kids on the Block!

These two definitely hit a growth spurt! They are roughly 32 inches tall already and with the few added inches they can now get onto everything (couches, chairs, on and off the beds etc). So, we decided it was a good idea to get the bouncy house out and let them play. What a great idea!! They wore themselves out climbing up and down and jumping! Hailey probably went down the slide at least 30 times while we relaxed!

Hunter still loves to just run around and play in the cars and play catch with daddy! 

We packed it all up just in time for the thunder and lightning to hit that evening!! 

Philips Food Truck and Field Day

Every once in a while mommy's work does some pretty awesome events. This past week they had a field day complete with food trucks, live music and free beer tasting! What a fun way to spend the afternoon!

Mommy opted for the Paleo food truck and the food was so good and I didn't break my diet.. (ok, with the exception of a beer)

Zoo Time!

We picked a good day to go to the zoo.. and so did a BUNCH of other people last weekend. Thankfully because it was so nice out, the indoor play area was completely empty so we spent a good amount of time letting the kids run around. They loved looking at the fish and Hailey wouldn't let the stuffed Jaguar go!

Virtual Golf

We branched out this last date night and went virtual golfing! It was such a blast, but really hard to putt (which is what i'm typically good at!). You can golf any course you want and we chose Pebble Beach.. probably should've gone with something more simple for our first try but it was still a great time!

Wedding Dress Shopping with Sammi!

The wedding is in just a few short months so we took the first opportunity to get out and find Sammi's wedding dress!! She found the dress that was 'the one' and we even found my maid of honor dress and the bridesmaids dresses in one outing! How exciting!!

I obviously can't share photos of her dress (let's just say it's white), but mine is below! It'll look gorgeous in the blue color she picked!!

And below are the bridesmaid dresses. Sleeveless and flattering.

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for hanging out with the kids and Michael while I got that all done!

Maid of Honor Duties!

As soon as we got home from vacation, it was time to switch into planning mode! Mommy's best friend Sammi asked me to be her maid of honor and sent a special package! Her wedding is going to be an aviation theme since her fiance is a pilot.. so excited!

She asked all her bridesmaids to upload a photo on Facebook in the aviators & a salute !! Here's mommy's:
