Ragnar
Last fall, one of my friends reached out to see if I’d want to run a Ragnar relay race with a group of twelve girls. For some crazy reason, I said yes. I’m not a runner. I don’t even like running. But it felt like a good goal to work…

I got to accompany Finn on his preschool field trip to Tanaka Farms, where Finn ate his weight in strawberries.
There’s nothing like pink blossoming trees at Disneyland in the spring. It’s also nice when it’s warm enough to go on Grizzly River Run. Crew and Finn aren’t tall enough yet so we waited for their brothers to fall down the giant splash hill. The boys were pumped about the…
When you’re six, your birthday is everything. At six years old, Crew is obsessed with sharks and dogs and his mama. A few days after Crew’s actual birthday, we had 20 five to seven year olds over for a shark-themed birthday party. We split the kids into groups and rotated…
I love that our street has holiday gatherings. We came together for an Easter potluck and egg hunt as the golden light streamed across the street. Blake was delighted to find the golden egg with the coveted $2 prize inside.
March was largely taken up by preparing for and enjoying Hawaii, but we still had a few little things I want to remember. Disney days, of course. Finn got a nice big shiner. Some funny emails from the boys while we were in Hawaii, spelling errors and all: Our brand…
Going to Hawaii with some of our oldest and dearest friends was a dream come true. Troy and I were the first to arrive on the island because we traveled the shortest distance from California. We soaked up the views from the air as we spotted O’ahu. We stocked up…
We had to get out and see the wildflowers that bloomed from the massive amount of rain we had this winter after so many years of drought. I’d never seen California so green and it was breathtaking. We had seen articles about the poppy fields in California’s rare Super Bloom…
We love Disney any time of the year, but spring has a special spot in my heart. When there’s a rainbow over Disneyland, you know it’s going to be a good day.
February began with the 100th day of school, where Crew dressed like he was 100 years old. He made a collection of 100 pom pom balls. Blake participated in an interactive Walk Through the American Revolution. We did a few Disney days. Love that uncle photobomb. Crew and Finn found…
We celebrated Nash’s 9th birthday with his favorite activity. We had very melty pizookie instead of cake. The boys love to mix around the letters on the letter board. A few days later, I took Nash on his Disney date. We met up with our cute friends who were in…
