Jensen Christmas Vacation
Not even sure where to start. We decided to drive to California this year to spend Christmas with Gruncle and Grauntie (my uncle Alan and auntie Anita) and my cousins Jada, Kayla and Chani. My mom and aunt Chris drive down as well and Kent drove up. Everyone we told that we were taking a 3 and 5…
Christmas with Uncle Mike
Mike stopped by last night to give the kids their Christmas presents. Liam and Skyler were excited about his visit all day. After a good wrestle and a few bear rides, we got down to business. Skyler got, not one, but THREE princess dresses and Liam got an awesome ski mask zip up sweat shirt and…
Best day all year!
I can honestly say that, even with the fairly large scale meltdown at the end of the night (courtesy of Liam not wanting to put his jammie's on), today was the best day of my year. The kids woke up early but did not come into our room until 7! Leif did elbow me at 6:15 to tell me that "Liam is…
NEW CAR!!!
Ever tried to buy a new car with a three and five year old? Well, it takes some serious negotiating skills - not with the car dealer but with your kids! But, Liam and Skyler really wanted a new car. Each time they crammed into the back of my Jetta, they would say…
Halloween One, Two, Three and Four
Halloween One: Mom's Work Party. Leif brought the kids to Seattle after work on Thursday - again in full costume. This time Liam was in his Iron Man costume and Skyler in her Repunzel costume. I did Skyler's hair in braids with flowers ("just like Repunzel's!"). She looked…
Big brother
We were watching the Seahawks today and several of the commercials during the game were scary and inappropriate for the kids so Leif kept telling them to look away. Then tonight, the kiddos wanted to watch the tail end of the lion king. Leif and I were in the other room and we heard Liam say…
Spontaneous Fun
Mom and dad needed a major pick me up so decided on taking the kids to Maggianos for dinner in Bellevue. A few glasses of good wine, muscles, a plate of pasta, and a slice of tiramasu later and we were feeling full of life. Leif decided "why go home?" So we left our car in the…
The Bert Reynolds Trail
I took my first run with Liam today - well...almost. He rode his bike and I ran. We started at the Wayne Golf Course and ran towards Woodinville on the Bert Gilman (also known as the Bert Gillman). At the mile and a half marker, we turned around. Liam was so excited and kept…
I am participating in Idaho Rivers United’s River Run and was wondering if you would support me.
Idaho Rivers United works to protect and restore Idaho’s rivers and native fisheries, a cause very important to me. Idaho’s rivers need ongoing dedicated protections to keep our waters running clean, clear, and full of fish.
To participate in the River Run, I rafted down the Middle Fork River and had a great time. I saw lots of different kinds of fish and even a black bear. They were all in their natural habitat and I want to keep it that way so all wildlife can be happy forever.
Please consider supporting me in my efforts for this worthy cause!
