Christmas break skiing highlights. Got to go 3 times before the kids went back to school with friends and family! It was the best! It was Especially great to play hookie once school started so we could ski with my nieces, Morgan and Savannah one last time before they went back to college. Excited for our season to continue:) (at Stevens Pass Mountain Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsxJe35hRic/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=inuayc7ijmyd

“But nobody else is going to put it right for me. Nobody but me is going to change my story” Wise words sung by Matilda. A girls night out on the town... a lovely night with lovely company.

Our Oliver turned 13 yesterday!! I am so blown away by this kid. I am so grateful for his energy, humor and curiosity that adds such an incredible dynamic to our family. I feel so lucky for the bond these kids have made together. I was going through photos and chose a few of our summer trip away together. It was so special to spend so much time away. Just us. Oliver was such a pleasant traveler and always up for an adventure. He had some unfortunate accidents and never let them get him down but instead continued to laugh and make the best out of the situation. Like he usually does:) He bounces back so quickly! I sure love you, Oliver. Cheers to your teenage years... I can’t wait to see what they bring:) I am one lucky momma!! https://www.instagram.com/p/BrUgkmTBE8o/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xa1p9ehu6jyg

This boy studies so hard I smile when he gets to play a little too! My boys have been spending some time at the skatepark ever since they were tiny and when I looked over the other day and saw George standing there ready to go I had to take a pic! Only a few years left at home and I am taking it in and enjoying every moment I get:) (at English Hill, Redmond) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqecSFhB2oW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3i1rk7r3rawv

My siblings and I flew out to surprise my Mom and Dad for their last day of working at their Nationwide office. This agency has been a home for all of us and has been a huge part of our lives. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for raising us and providing such a lovely life for us kids. It was an honor to share your last day with you. Cheers to a beautiful new chapter.
