Busy day

 Sheila come over today to watch Zoey at her cheer game and then hang out and play games. She surprised me and brought a plant pot that she made for me. It is so cool and now I have to find the perfect plant for it that will do it justice. hhhmmmmm

New pots!!!

 Meet the two cutest plant pots you have EVER seen! I love them so much and they make me smile everytime I look at them. I'm going to be hanging out at the fire pit a lot more now. 

Candy birthday surprise

 

One evening I got a call from Candy's sister informing that Candy really wanted to go see Elton John for her 50th birthday so Katie and I made it happen. On the day of her party we planted different EJ pictures around the house as clues and when she figured it out she started to cry. It was so wonderful being able to make one of by best friends so happy. I love her so much and we had a blast at the concert! Thank you Elton John for an amazing concert! 

Sister time!

 Getting together with my sisters is always a good time and today was no different. Love each one of them so much!!!

Parade, Halloween, Lake, Mariners fun!

 What a crazy weekend of fun!!!

Mariners fun

 And a win!!!!!

Home game with Hugo

Since Curtis is out of town, I got to take Hugo to the Seahawks game. It’s so fun taking him now that he loves football even more and understands so much about it that now that I’m even learning something from him! Love my nephew so much 😍

Alaska fishing trip

Curtis is having a “horrible “time fishing in Alaska with Oppy for their 50th birthdays! I keep getting amazing photos of salmon that I can’t wait to eat, gorgeous fishing shots, and lots of bears. I can’t believe he’s seen so many bears on a daily basis and even had to move out of one of his fishing spots because a bear came in and said, nope that’s my spot! He’s going to be home soon, and I can’t wait to hear more about all of his adventures. 

Annual Girls Away Trip - road trip to SF

 

Since we had a smaller group this year and all of us were here in Seattle, we decided to road trip it down to San Francisco for the game. We hit a bunch of wineries, the redwood forest, and as many beaches as we could find. We had a really great time and it was a relaxing drive.

For the game, we met up with Amy and her family and even though they are 49er friends we were all friendly lol. It felt so good to get a win this year!

On our drive home, we hit a few more wineries and also went to a cute little oil bar where you could test a bunch of different types of oils and vinegar. I bought a few and can’t wait to try them when I get home.

Another successful year, Go, Hawks!!!!!

Cheer, sleepover, cheer, wedding

Our busy weekend started Friday night with Jr Liberty cheer performing at Friday night football. After the game a few of her friends came over for a sleepover and they had fun practicing cheers and squealing all night. 

In the morning they had an early cheer game and all were a bit tired…..oops. I guess that is the price for having fun! 

After the game, we quickly raced home and got showered up for Tristan‘s wedding in Lynden. It’s been so fun watching all the cousins grow up and become adults. I remember when we all used to go camping and they were the little kids running around…. time flies.

Fantasy football

Another successful year of fantasy football draft at Amy’s house. We have a couple new girls this year, which will be fun and I think I got a good team. I hope I win this year!

Watching Hugo

I love getting to watch Hugo play football, he is getting better each time I come and it’s been a blast! 

Dave Mathew’s Band

Instead of heading home right after the rodeo, we decided to head to the Gorge to see Dave Matthews Band. I’ve always heard of people doing this every year and so it was fun to actually see it and be a part of the festivities. We all had a blast and who knows, maybe we’ll do it again next year?!?!?! 

Ellensburg Rodeo

We all had a good time at the rodeo and the weather was perfect! Later that night we went back for the bulls show and that was fun, but not that much different than what we saw at the rodeo so we probably won’t go again. It’s crazy to see those fierce bulls with people on top. They did do a pretty good job of all the extra fun stuff and clowns, music, it was all very entertaining! 

 

Ellensburg rodeo

Barbie and I decided to go ahead of everyone else and watch the parade on Friday night and it did not disappoint. We had a blast and I love hanging out with my sister!!! 

4th grade!

Zoey starts fourth grade today! I can’t believe how big she is getting. Yesterday we got to go meet her new teacher and she seems really nice. Zoey is nervous and excited for her first day of school. After school, you could tell she had a really good day and it was perfect to end the day To play at the lake with Irie and Charlotte. 

 

Puallup Fair

Cheer fun

Zoey keeps getting better and better at cheer and I am so proud of her. It’s crazy to watch these three girls grow up together, I love it so much.
