Father's Day 2019 || Big Barn Brewing

A few weeks ago we headed back up to Big Barn Brewing in Greenbluff, WA to celebrate our dad the best way we know how! With plenty of beer and lots of outdoor fun and music. This has become a family tradition for our little family ever since Lincoln was born. We brought up Nana and Papa this year as well to join in on the fun!

The beers were flowing, the music was playing and the picnic was perfect. The strawberries were just ready to be picked as well so Lincoln and I headed into the neighboring strawberry fields next to the brewery and picked several to bring home. It was a great day!

Seattle Weekend Getaway

A few weeks ago I headed over to Seattle to visit my little brother and attend a friend's baby shower. My little bro put up with all my requests for all of the things! This included playing tourist in his town and letting me instagram the whole dang thing. He's the best! 

Our weekend included Pikes Place Market, Shake Shack, The Amazon Spheres, the Cookie Dough truck, Starbuck's Reserve Roastery and dinner at Junebaby (#bucketlist).

A few photos from our weekend below:

Easter Weekend 2019

Another Easter weekend has come and gone and it was full of lots of egg hunts, family time, food and fun!

We started our weekend out Saturday morning by attending the Gonzaga Prep Easter Egg Dash. They fill the football field with hundreds of eggs and the kids go crazy! The whole thing lasts about 5 minutes, but it's tons of fun.

That evening, we had Nana and Papa over for Easter Egg dying and dinner. Lincoln went to town dying his Easter Eggs and decorating them and then we used the eggs the next day for Deviled Eggs for our Easter Brunch. We rounded out the evening by busting out the BBQ for the first time this season, grilling burgers and fried and cocktails for all.

Sunday morning the Easter Bunny made a visit! The boys tore into their baskets, we headed outside for a backyard hunt and then it was off to mass. After Mass, the Cathedral did another Easter Egg hunt so w were filled to the brim with candy filled eggs. Finn just tried to figure it out and Lincoln went crazy gathering as many eggs as he could.

After mass and the egg hunt, we headed back home for brunch. We underestimated the amount of time that it would take to cook a few dishes so brunch was delayed till almost 1:30, but we filled our morning with mimosas, deviled eggs and Easter candy while we waited for the ham and potatoes to cook.

Once our bellies were full, we spent some time outside playing in the backyard, before heading in for naps. It was a fun and full weekend!

Life Lately || A Photo Dump!

I blinked and we're already half way through April! We started out March with over 6 feet of snow in our front yard, then we had 60+ degree weather and now we've settled into the typical spring rainy weather.

We've done our best to get outside here and there when we could along with other adventures. Below are photos from life lately including a few trips to the park, Riverfront Park's Ice Ribbon (turned scoot ribbon in the summer!), cruising around in our VW bus, a trip to Donut Parade, Date night for Kevin and I, a special dinner with my parents, and some new home updates! That's been life in a nutshell the past few weeks!
