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!

2016 in Review

It was another great year full of highs and lows! 

We kicked off January with a trip to the Museum to see the Legos exhibit. 

In February I got a girls trip to Arizona to visit my bestie! 

In March, we took Lincoln to his very first St. Paddy's Day parade and had a visit from the Easter Bunny!

In April, we celebrated daddy's birthday and in May we celebrated Papa's birthday and Mother's day! 

In June, we headed down to California to celebrate my baby brother's college graduation and took a trip up to Sonoma. 

We also finally finished our "mini" kitchen update in June! 

July was a big month! We went out to Hat Island for the 4th of July, watched movies in the park, threw my sister a bridal shower, and our little guy turned TWO!! 

August was another fun month. We sold our house and celebrated my baby sister's wedding!

In September we headed to the Spokane County Fair and celebrated our 4th Wedding anniversary. 

October is my very favorite time of the year and the beginning of all the holiday festivities! We headed to the Pumpkin patch, bought a new house and also had some family photos taken. 

In November, Lincoln and I went on a mommy/son date to Daniel Tiger Live! We also celebrated Thanksgiving with our family and found out that Lincoln will soon have a new cousin, set to arrive in June 2017! We also headed up to Greenbluff to pick out our family Christmas tree. 

December was our most eventful month with a trip to the North Pole and sledding!  Kevin and Lincoln went back east to visit his grandma and great grandma and Lincoln got to go to the Air Mobility Command Museum and saw the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center. And last but not least, we celebrated Christmas! The best one yet.
