memorial day weekend

this was the 4th weekend in a row that was busy and full for us. not too full where it was crazy and stressful- but a just-right kind of full - full of family, friends, relaxing and lots of sunshine.

saturday afternoon we walked to the ski to sea parade with some friends and spent the afternoon in the sun. again, riley loved the parade and was often found dancing, waving and chatting about everything that went by. it is so fun to see everything through her toddler eyes. she is really growing up so quickly. her vocabulary is increasing on a daily basis and she acts like such a big girl!


saturday evening the shooks arrived from ellensburg and we put riley to bed and kristen stayed home while tyler and i went out to dinner for my 29th birthday. we had a wonderful dinner in the sun at one of my all-time favorite restaurants, pepper sisters.

sunday, (my birthday!) was full of: a bike ride to breakfast, (a treat from kristen!), lots of backyard time, a visit from my sisters and watching tyler and dj's ski to sea team finish in fairhaven.






the weekend ended on monday with a lazy day for tyler, riley and i. 3 day weekends are a must! and need to happen more often, for sure.

this week and coming weekend will be another busy one for us...riley and i fly to st. louis on thursday morning to spend 3 nights with andrew. he's needing some extra help and support right now, so we can't wait to visit. wish me luck on the plane with an 18 month old by myself!


and p.s. ~ riley and cora are nursing their babies in the picture above. isn't that to die for?
