End of First Week Treat

 

We decided to hit up In-N-Out as a end of the first week of school treat.

Love travelling with these two.. they are the BEST!

First Day of School!!

 Here we go... SENIOR and FRESHMAN year!!

Make this a great year, kids!! 

I love you and am so proud of you!

Daily Doubles

 Matthew just finished his first high school football "daily doubles" week!

We are so proud of him for working so hard and having such a great attitude during these two-hard-practices-a-day period. He was exhausted at the end of the week but said he felt stronger and is super excited for the season!

A DQ Blizzard for a reward after the last practice. 

Bring on high school football!

Senior Pics

It's hard to believe Evelyn will be a SENIOR this year. Today she met up with her friend Heidi for senior pictures (Heidi's mom took them).

Here are some shots I took... can't wait to see the "real" ones!

 

Beach Trip 2024

 

We snuck away for a long weekend at the beach and it was just what we needed!!

The kids took full advantage of the chill weekend... or were they just hiding from mom's camera? HA!

Quirkle at the beach tradition!!

The weather wasn't awesome but it wasn't bad, so we got one long evening walk in..

Matthew made sure to get a beach workout in... of course!

When we went to Astoria last month, Matthew REALLY wanted to bring home a menu from Pig N Pancake. He politely asked but was told no. He was determined to get one next time were were at a PNP. 

SUCCESS!! He was so excited! 

Grateful for a fun time away with my three favorites!!

Power Outage Fun!

 Our electric company had to do some maintenence today and we had a scheduled power outage. They couldn't guarantee how long it would be out. Since Doug works from home, he couldn't work. We decided to make the most of it and took a day trip to Astoria to bum around for the day. 

We got to Astoria and stopped at Pig N Pancake for lunch. 

Matthew REALLY wanted to take a menu home  and actually did the right thing and asked. He was bummed he got a firm "no" but we had some good laughs over it and Matthew is already planning a menu robbery next time we are at a P & P...haha!

We then went up to the Astor Column and enjoyed the view. 

We ended our time in Astoria by going to The Goonies house. If you know, you know!

(The kids had actually not seen the movie, so they watched it on the drive over..)

What a super fun family day... filled my heart for sure!

Last Day of School!!

 

They did it!! 

Today was the last day of school for my 8th grader and junior!

I love these two so much and excited for our summer adventures!!
