The Mother of All Father's Day's

We started father's day off with breakfast at Voula's in Seattle. It was great and worth the wait for a table. We then hit up the mother of all father's day beer festivals where this year we all got to taste some of Washington's finest brew. FYI- Josh got a brew kit this year for father's day so watch out next year Josh might have his own booth. We then went to my parents house for dinner and to celebrate my cousin Carl's 17th b-day. It was a great day.

Josh you are a great dad. Your dad would be very proud of you.

Here are some pics of this fabulous day.

Oh and I have to mention that by BFF Brookie Brooke had her baby boy on Father's Day. More to come on that...

Ryan & Josh and the Kids! Just like old times, right!!! Ok, minus the kids.

Megan and I thought this brew fest was for the mom's!!!

These two crazy kids trying to show us West Coasters how to tail gate.

Is mom glowing or is that the reflection of my orange shirt?

Nothing beats a cold beverage with a baby in your front.

Annie & Me

Grace is thinking, can I do this in one bite?

Emmit and I taking it all in.

Grace LOVES the beach.

The dog.

Running.

Taylor and Grace playing in the bucket. We are too cheap or to lazy this weekend to buy a kid pool.

What a fantastic memorial weekend we had.

Friday night we had bbq with friends, including Annie a new friend of mine who makes my lattes every morning at our favorite Penguin Coffee here in Anacortes.

Saturday we walked to the farmers market, ate cup cakes and looked at fancy rich people boats.

Sunday after a brisk run that almost did me in ( a little too much fun from Friday night) we went to a new beach Ship Harbor. The tied was out so there was lots of beach. Yes we have a dog and we actually brought Tug Boat with us. We haven't seen him run that far and hard in a long time. Like 2.5 years. Sunday night we had another bbq with some friends over.

Did I mention that Emmit got his FIRST TOOTH this weekend and can ROLL OVER both belly to back and back to belly.

Didn't drive more then 5 miles away from my home. I actually read some of my book and got some alone time with my husband:)

What a great weekend.

Goals For Memorial Weekend

In no particular order my goals for this weekend are to:

BBQ

Open & Read a book without pictures of animals or cats wearing hats sitting on top of bats

To not leave Fidalgo Island

To not drive my car more then 5 miles

To play outside with the kiddo's

To get my family healthy ( we all have a cold)

To sneak in some alone time with my hubby.

Can I accomplish this?
