Mother's Day in Texas

This post is a little delayed. We've had some technical difficulties over the past week....

For Mother's Day weekend, my mother & I met up in Texas to relive the glorious days of my Baylor education! We started the weekend off with a rendezvous in Dallas and then drove the hour and a half down to good ole' Waco to visit the Alma Mater!

Sic 'em Bears!!!

We mostly spent the weekend soaking up the Texas sun, eating lots of yummy food and drinking ourselves silly with frozen milkways (a delicious frozen coffee drink smothered in choclate sprinkles, caramel and whipped cream- what more could you ask for?). Saturday night we met up with some old Texas friends.

Here we are getting ready to enjoy some Tex Mex- my fave!!

On Sunday, my mom and made a stop in Dallas to visit her cousin Marsha. It was so fun to see her again and also meet her adorable boston terriers Quinlin and Mia.

All in all, it was a wonderful weekend to celebrate my mother. I love you mom!

The Big Guy has a B'day!

Deacon & Merecedes celebrated Deacon's 3rd B'day with their own little party! Aren't they cute? I really think the picture says it all....


Here they are recovering after the party...



Happy B'day to the Big Guy!

Bloomsday!

This past weekend Kyle & I ran Spokane's infamous Bloomsday road race. We suffered through 7.4 miles (in the 60 degree sun- sounds chilly but we were both sweating- 60 is quite the scorcher for the Northwest this time of year!) and what they call "doomsday hill" (as seen in the drawing) complete with a mascot dressed in a vulture costume at the top to pick off the dying runners. Due to injuries (my knee) and lack of training (we've both been slightly lazy this spring) we didn't finish in our normal speedy time- but we both made it through feeling good, so it was a successful run! It was sad to think that we won't be running Bloomsday next year. For me, this is my 4th time running, but for Kyle he has been running it since he was a kid! It was a bittersweet weekend for sure!

For Sale!

It's official! Our house is back on the market! We have exactly 60 days until we leave Seattle, I can't believe how fast it's approaching! We appreciate all those who are praying for our house to sell, we're excited to see what God will do!
