Diving into SUMMER like .....BOOM!!!!!
The kids had been begging to start SWIM team so we decided SWIM lessons were probably the best place to start. Well, they are loving the water and becoming little fish.
Some days...they even get ALONG!
A trip to JULIO's and visit to vacuum man?!? Someday I will make a collage of these. I hope our little town always has the vacuum man.
Helping Papa get a new phone, BIG GIRL!
And then back for smiles and snuggles with Grammy.
This TRIBE...they look tougher than they are, but they were ready for pancakes at the fire station and the 4th of July parade.
PANCAKES are a favorite of ours...and getting HUGE ones at the fire station on the 4th of July make it that much better!
This year, the O'Stacey's joined in on the fun.
This bunch!!! All the love.
I mean, who doesn't need a pic with the Chick Fil A cow.
After late morning naps, we headed over to Heather and Adam's for some fun!
LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.
And that's a wrap!!!!
Saturday morning brunch with my Isatribe.
By family....Kate helped out while my parents were out of town and kept the kids in line.
Some proofs from our June family photos.
And SHE's off...I was invited to an executive retreat in Phoenix and I jumped on the experience. 2 days of training, a tour of corporate and more. Every time I leave it's hard...but it makes me a better mama so I keep saying YES!
Daddy with the girls!
Off to Papa for the day.
When I arrived, Lindsay picked up Nikki and I at the airport and we grabbed a beautiful lunch.
Afternoon meet up at the house.
Trip to Isagenix HQ...
We learned so much!
Fun to see my name on the wall of winners of a fun contest!
Sampling new products was so amazing.
Learning and growing with this tribe of women...an experience I can hardly put into words.
Wrapping up with a slumber party and dream session!
All was good back home too!
Back to REAL life and it was time to make some bird houses.
Along with have this guy show me where to hang the house.
SUNDAY FUN DAY!!!
This.
This will never get old.
This will never not make me smile.
Even on the most stressful of days...a walk, a dance party, a laugh with these faces makes it ALL worth it.
Well, it's official. She is the QUEEN of the blowout.
Millie got all dressed for the day...Princess costume and all.
Cheers to TEN.
I think I said it best here OG LOVE but here are some of our wedding pictures. What a special day...July 18, 2009!
On our anniversary...we watched our wedding video with the kids and then went to Grazie (the place we had our rehearsal dinner).
The next morning...we left the troops at Grammy and Papa's for the weekend and headed to celebrate in Walla Walla!
And were off...but not all the kids got left behind. Chukar got to come with (just like the old days)!
A little tradition we do each year...a mile to mark the MILE we reached!
1st stop, Desert Wind in Prosser for lunch (a quiet lunch without kids is SO weird)!
We made it to Walla Walla in time for happy hour...I mean, wasn't every hour happy hour when you aren't dealing with nap schedules and such?!?
So the trip is really just a collage of selfies and drinking wine at some winery...enjoy!
Brunch, sure...we can have cocktails there too!
Cheers!
Quiet mornings checking out town and just enjoying each other.
TAKE ME BACK!
Well, these smiling faces were waiting for us to get home...so we did! But, it's safe to say they had a blast at Grammy and Papa's.
And there you go....this one turned 9 months old (on our 10 year anniversary)....so this is most likely 9 months plus 3 or 5 days.
Such a little sweetie...this is still one of my fav pictures during this time.
Treats with Grammy....funny that I don't think the other 2 did this at 9 months, but this is number 3 and she definitely gets to do things at her own speed.
Bothell Bike Gang!
Saturday adventures to celebrate friends...and probably just get groceries...but we have 3 kids in a cart, so we must document.
Concerts at the park...another time I ventured out with ALL 3. So fun having those days together.
Joy (and Ellie), Heather (and Easton) came for a little fun too. Of course, it turned out to be a HOT day and we all sweated until the babies needed to go home for naps.
Cheers to NINE month check up!
And then it was time for the MEYER Mid-Summer BBQ....pretty sure this needs to be an annual event! We had SOOO much fun.
All the kids...they ran, they splashed, they ate, they were hilarious!
All dried off and ready for movie time.
So fun to have friends who are family and family who are friends!
Well, the BBQ turned into an all night rager and our kids didn't go to bed until 12:13am (Griffin informed me it was the lastest night of his life).
Next up...more summer fun and this time it was at the Chateau for a concert on the lawn.
The girls.
The boys.
The couples....and the WORST concert ever. Thankful for great friends we could laugh with (and drink with) making it a memorable and fun night.
Megan came to town...so we snuck in a quiet visit and trip to the airport. Can't believe our 1st nanny is going to be a MOM!!!!
And then SHE was FORTY! I celebrated the day by getting naked with my besties.
Afternoon coffee with my monkey in the middle...and a BBQ with my WHOLE family at Grammy and Papa's that night. It was a great DAY!
