For Deven's actual birthday I picked him up early from school, took him to get some tacos for lunch and an Apple crumble pie for his birthday treat an excellent excuse to try out the Snohomish Pie Company we keep ogling at when we go to the little downtown area. I have the best video of us signing to him - I'll try to attach it soon! Oh and this first pic is just a fun one I got from school - one I can show all his friends later in life!!
We spent the 4th with good friends eating yummy food!! Tova found out fireworks are only cool from behind a window and July is apparently the month we keep the kids up super late every weekend. We got to sleep in until 9:30am the next day though - that is - no joke - the most I've slept in five years. The bottle of wine may have killed the recovery this would have given me but it was still pretty sweet!!!
As much as we tried to have a grown up night absolutely no one is available on the agreed upon nicest weekend all year in the pnw!! 6/28 we attended Nick's cousin's wedding. It was actually so fun with the kids. We kept these kids up until 10pm. We paid for it to be sure but man we looked good. Cocktails, dinner, and even deven ensuring Tova danced with the right boy. Seriously amazing fun! I love weddings and apparently so do our kiddos!
Couldn't leave these ones out. It really was a blast!! Dev got his new hockey gear just in time for his skating practice. We literally went straight from the party to practice. Always on our way to somewhere. That's the way we roll.
We decided that having a party at the house this year just wasn't in the cards. A bouncy house warehouse (jump rattle and roll) where they take care of just about everything sounded way better. The menu wasn't as creative as we normally are but pizza, Oreos and strawberries sound pretty darn good. I'm pretty sure all the kiddos and many of the grown ups had a blast! I even was able to talk to almost every guest for more that the usual 15 seconds. We may need to make this the new normal!!
Tova calls soccer foot ball now. And we also found a bar that allows kiddos. Only in Everett!! It was great to watch the US get so far along this year. We watch a lot of sports in our house; it's a lot of fun!!
Deven had his year end performance in June. There were ups and downs in the listening department this year but overall way better than last year and he loves performing. Here are a few pics from the event. He totally killed it!!
