fences up...

Operation fence side yard is in full force at the Kalles house hold. When we had purchased our house last year, the one concession that I had when we bought the house I wanted to fence in the side yard to make our yard a little bigger for Ethan and for Bindi to run around in. 

Its been almost a year but the project was finally able to be started this past weekend. Hopefully it will be done this next weekend. Stay tuned for the final pics. I can't wait!

 

sun, sand, & family...

We are back from a much needed vacation to Mexico. We had been lacking in the sun department in WA so it was in the cards for us to travel to some where tropical for a change of scenery. And what a perfect excuse to go since my mom is living down there part of the year. 

They have an absolutely beautiful house in El Sargento (in between Cabo and La Paz) and even though it was a trek from the airport we were happy to chill at the beach and swim in the pool.

take me out to the ballgame...

Last night was the M's home opener at Safeco Field. This was I believe my 14th home opener and Ethan's 5th home opener so it has turned into a family tradition for us. Ethan didn't want to go at first but once there he had a great time. Especially after he got his hot dog, fries, and dippin' dots. The weather was cooperative as well so we thankfully didn't see rain and got to enjoy the game dry and they won. Check out the new HUGE tv screen as well. Go M's!!!

 

some bunny loves you...

This past weekend flew by like a blur. We had Easter festivities both days and the most beautiful weather to accompany it. On Saturday after soccer we headed out to the Snoqualmie Ice Cream Easter egg hunt. I think the whole town of Snohomish showed up for it. We will definitely be back again for the ice cream (the egg hunt was another story :(). Then we were off to Jeff's mom's house to go on another egg hunt and have dinner. Ethan had a blast hanging with his cousins and made out with a ton of candy. 

On Easter Sunday, the bunny paid us a visit and left our house with even more candy. Then we had family over for dinner and enjoyed the sunshine. I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter!

 

everyone needs a little sunshine...

This past week has been beautiful here in Seattle. I am hoping that this is a sign that we Spring weather will be rockin'. We've been able to pull out our short sleeved shirts and bikes and scooters and hit the open road, or at least the open sidewalk. When we have weather like this it makes me remember why I tolerate this area during the rain and gloomy season. 

* FYI - the hat Ethan is wearing was made by one of Jeff's friends from his favorite game Castle Crashers.

business trips...

The title of this post is a little misleading since I did not actually get to go on a business trip, Jeff did. As he headed to Boston Ethan and I flew solo for a few days and boy was I ready for Jeff to return. Ethan and I did have a great time however and we seemed to be on the go every day (hence why I was tired). 

One of the days my dad came down to visit and we headed to the Woodland Park Zoo.  The weather and the day turned out great, and we walked around the whole entire zoo. I think Ethan was even tired after that which is a rarity in our house.

eggerific...

Now that I have my new craft area and easter is headed our way it was time to bring out the items to make some homemade decorations. While shopping at Target for my leprechaun trap supplies last week I came across some foam easter eggs and easter sticker kit, as well as some glitter glue.
