Conor, Holly and Greta did a local Dad's Day Dash, a 5km run. They trained and fundraised previous to the run and then did the run together! I tried so hard to get there in time to see them cross the finish line, but I just missed them. I'm proud of them!

Conor and the big girls have gone skiing up at Mt Spokane almost every weekend since the beginning of January. I'm pleased to report that they love it! This is a dream come true for me. I've wanted my family to get into XC skiing ever since we moved here. I can't wait to join in next winter! Last weekend, I sent my camera with Holly and Greta and here's what they brought back. Love those 2!

Holly and Greta made their bed and then took some pictures. Those cuties!

Baking cakes with my girls and giving them the all clear with frosting pretty much won me best Mom ever award.

This may well be the highlight of our summer. I booked a night at the Quartz Mountain Fire Lookout in Mount Spokane State Park and Holly, Greta and I went on a little trip just the three of us. We had to hike in, which was so fun, and the kids did great! The fire lookout has an incredible view and the terrain up there was so pretty and interesting. We played a ton of games, ate jiffypop and watched the sun set and woke up early in the morning. It was a pretty glorious trip! I had so much fun playing and being with my daughters. This was a surefire momma victory. The cherry on top is all the huckleberries we picked!
