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!

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!

Mommy and Me Date || Lincoln James

A few weeks ago, Lincoln and I got to spend a whole day together enjoying a few fun things around town. It was so fun to get some one-on-one time with my one of my favorite guys. We started our morning off by heading down to AMC and watching Secret Life of Pets 2. After the movie we headed over to Riverfront Park to play and ride the carousel (a million and one times). Then it was back to the mall for lunch before heading home for naps.

It was a busy fun day for our little due who is quickly becoming a big kid!

Fund Run 2019!

Each year our school hosts an annual Fund Run to raise money for the school. All ages compete from as young as Finn through the 8th grade. Lincoln was a rockstar this year and ran his little heart out!

He was so very excited to win a medal for running hard too! Below are a few photos from the day!

Lincoln James || My First Bike!

A few weeks ago we made the move to a big boy bike for our Mr. Lincoln! He was so excited!!!

He's been riding around like a champ, and while the training wheels are still on, we'll be taking those bad boys off sooner as opposed to later so he can officially transition to big kid status. We are so so proud of our big boy!!

And I think he's pretty proud of his new bike ;0)!

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)
