Memorial Day Getaway

This year we spent our Memorial Day weekend at the cabin. It was a really fun weekend watching movies at the cabin, playing with our little person and we got to put our bike trailer to good use not just once but twice over the weekend. Dusty and I put in about 22 miles on the trail at Harrison. Then we got to meet the Cordill’s for a 3.5 mile hike and barbeque at Mineral Ridge. Last but not least, we met up with the Rogers clan for another 16 miles and playtime intermission in a great bike ride. Dusty is amazing at towing or packing our happy little camper, and she is very willing to bump along and look for birds and flowers- those are two of her favorite new words to say and sign. All the adventuring wore our Jayney out and she conked as soon as she got in the car seat after each outing. Dusty and I enjoyed taking the long way back to the cabin and chatting without baby distracting our conversation. Our back road cruising also treated us with some beautiful views and creature spotting, including a moose with a calf and later a small black bear. It was a wonderful weekend together with beautiful weather and great friends. 

Mother's Day Weekend

I had a lovely Mother's Day this year, in fact the whole weekend was great!

We went downtown and walked around Riverfront Park, took Jayney on the Carrousel for the first time, and had a picnic too! The next day we went to the lake, spent some time just relaxing at the cabin, JJ learned to throw a ball, and we went for a bike ride in Harrison, with ice cream of course! It doesn't get much better than than, in my opinion. The best part was getting to spend time and make some sweet memories as a family!

 

Dog pile on Dad!

This is how we play with pigs right? ... we eat them!

Presents too!

Daddy's Girl

      Jayney just loves her Daddy, there is no question about that fact! I think she has many good reasons too. Look how much fun they have together!

I can't even begin to say how grateful I am for having an awesome dad for my little lady... but I really cant take credit for teaching him how to be a good dad. Dusty learned that from someone else, but Jayney LOVES him too ;)

Peek-a-boo Spring

This Spring has been playing peek-a-boo with good weather. One day it is 85 degrees and beautiful and then it rains for a week... ah the Pacific Northwest! When it is sunny though, I think the garden flowers look even brighter. Add a cute baby and its a perfect day to spend time in the yard!

PEEEEEEKK......

.......a BOOO!
