Seattle trip!

We had an awesome trip to Seattle in August. We packed in so many activities...a family party, Steve's High School Reunion, trips to the Point Defiance Zoo, Snoqualmie Falls, Pike Place Market, Saltwater State Park...Dad got to play golf and Mom had a spa day. Of course, the best part was the quality family time!!

This was also the cubs' first plane trip and it went remarkably well. I was really dreading it but it ended up going much better than expected. I was incredibly thankful for that!

We took over 1000 pictures on our trip...and although we would love to share them all, I picked some of my favorites!

May = Mom.

May was an awesome month....it's "all about Mom month". Not only is Mother's Day in May, this Mom received a well-deserved (if I say so myself) vacation with some girlfriends. No husbands, no children, just the girls. We took a 5-day cruise of the Western Caribbean while Steve took the week off to take care of my usual mom duties. I'm a lucky mom.
