Kevin had to miss the lake because he was busy winning his hoopfest tournament, but we managed to survive without him thanks to awesome friends and lots of extra hands willing to help out with the kiddos!

Lake Days 2019
We are lucky enough to live in a town that is surrounded by several large lakes and even luckier to have friends who have boats and/or lake cabins! The last weekend in June, the boys and I headed out Hayden Lake with a few of our friends to spend the day on the water. They had so much fun! We all headed back to town that night with smiles on our faces and sun-kissed skin.

Hoopfest 2019
Every year, Spokane is home to the largest 3-on-3 street basketball tournament in the world (or at least in North America). This year was the 30th Anniversary for Hoopfest!
Kevin has played most years and this year was no exception. Hoopfest can be a little hectic with thousands of people heading into town, the streets shutting down and vendors and players everywhere. I wasn't brave enough to head down both days with boys boys, but we did go down on Saturday to watch daddy play! Kevin won both his games on Saturday, and although they lost their first game Sunday, they ended up battling back to win their bracket! It was a great weekend!

Summer Bucket List Item || Spokane Indians Baseball
For Father's Day this year we bought tickets for Papa to the Indians Game, the local minor league team. Lincoln has just recently started T-Ball and baseball is my dad's favorite game so it was perfect timing!
We purchased tickets to Smokey the Bear Night and my little brother was able to join us as well! The six of us enjoyed the game and the boys made it all the way to the 7th inning before Kevin took them home so my dad, brother and I could enjoy the last two innings. The Indians ended up winning as well! The game was one of our Summer Bucket list items among many others so it was the perfect kickoff to summer!

Memorial Day Weekend 2019
This past weekend we headed to the lake for the long weekend. We spent 48 hours with friends, relaxing, eating food, drinking and spending quality time together. The boys had so much fun fishing and Lincoln even managed to catch his very first fish ever! Each of the boys ended up catching their own fish and to say we had three very excited five year olds on our hand is an understatement.
In addition to fishing, there was s'more making, games played and cozy time by the fire. Per usual, I was extremely photo happy, capturing each moment of our stay. More than a few photos below ;0)

Here Comes the Sun!
The weather is finally starting to pick up and we've had a few solid 65+ degree days. This week we're heading into the 70s and by Thursday we might even hit 80 degrees!
After what seems like a very long and cold winter, we are here for it. We've spent lots of time at the park over thew past few days and we've even made an inaugural walk to the Scoop! Our favorite local ice cream shop which is a convenient 10 minute walk from our house.
Park days, ice cream and the start of a fun summer season definitely had me snapping lots of photos of the boys over the past few days. Here are just a few of my favorites!

Tubing Hill at Mt. Spokane!
This past weekend, we headed up to Mt. Spokane to take Lincoln down the tubing hill. We booked Session 2 (11:30-1) and it's definitely the most popular session! Next time we go, I think we'll book the early morning one.
Besides it being busy, it was so much fun! Lincoln had a blast and you could hear him screech with delight down the entire mountain. We left Finny Boo with Nana so we could have some quality one-on-one time with our favorite 4 year old and enjoyed every last minute. Below are a few photos from our afternoon on the hill!

Spokane Winterglow 2018
Give me all the holiday traditions! This really is my most favorite time of the year. This past Friday we took the boys to look at all the holiday lights, specifically the Spokane Winterglow Spectacular down in Cowley Park.
KXLY, a local news station sponsors the event and they place the lights right outside the Children's Hospital so the kiddos can enjoy. We warmed up hot cocoa, snuggled the boys up and went to walk through the park. We ended with a drive down Christmas Tree Lane and Candy Cane Lane right off of 37th and Tekoa.
It was a great way to spend the evening, and even better it was free! A few photos from our fun below:
