Byron's Birthday

Woke up to 13 balloons, waffles Nutella berries and whipped cream.

Then we walked the dog to the hills.

Habit Burger for lunch and a stop at a fun new park the VERY DAY parks re-opened so there was hardly anyone there.

A few friends over for video games and ice cream cake.

Byron mostly wanted cold hard cash for his birthday but I wanted him to open something so we got him a hammock.  It's been used for our "radical downtime".

Love this 13 year old of ours! I can't believe he is headed to Jr. High next year!

Mother's Day

As always I had a list of things I wanted to do:

Go on a walk in the hills

Watched an episode of Anne with an E

I didn't request home made croissants, I just requested not to make anything.  Miriam just went above and beyond.  Ham & Cheese and then chocolate!

A walk somewhere new....Hobbs Reservoir 

Dad's Birthday

Darin does not like fussy birthdays.  He wants easy breezy no fuss no drama.

We delivered....In N Out

A walk in the hills with the best weather! 

Soren's Birthday

Covid birthday!  We came up with a virtual birthday party to celebrate Soren turning 10

We delivered ceramics + paint + treats to 3 of Soren's friends and scheduled a Zoom paint party.

On April 28th Soren and I walked Orion to the stream,

Then I helped him make his "Better than Anything" Poke Cake for his big day.

He woke up the next morning to 10 balloons with waffles, berries, raspberry jam from The Parkers and whipped cream.

We had a picnic at Smoot Park

Came home to start the Zoom....which turned out to be pretty stressful! Connecting everyone, internet when out for a bit, had to switch devices....but Darin got everything sorted out.  Bless him.

We had dinner from Sticky Bird with Grandma Grandpa Ras + Mark and Lora

Sang Happy Birthday and ate Soren's cake!

We then went and gathered all the ceramics, took them to be fired, and then delivered them again!

Miriam and Byron gave Soren a trip to Crystal Hot Springs and dinner at Maddox.

It took a few weeks for the hot spring to open but as soon as they did we made it happen.

We want to go back at night!!
