FINALLY the last day of school for Addy. Due to our mid year move, Addy has been in school 6 weeks longer than the kids in WA or CO. SIX WEEKS!!! She looks miserable in this picture, huh? 😉 #likeachamp #addyreese

Happy last day of preschool (for this year) for Emmett! He had the cutest bus driver this year that always gave the kids presents at holidays. I love how when you tell Emmett to smile for the camera he poses with one leg folded up. #emmettjames

This kid. She has had a tough year: moving mid year, not having her own bed, a super not fun experience with lice, and to cap off the year, a broken arm right before summer. But she has handled it all like a CHAMP. I'm so proud of my tough little pickle. 😍

Being a mom has been the hardest, the most rewarding, and by far the most hilarious experience of my life. Please read the beautiful Mother's Day poetry below in your best "Deep Thoughts: by Jack Handy" voice. *note: she did ask what my fave animals are before writing this. "You are like a herd of elephants moving swiftly through the savannah, you are like a giraffe reaching leaves up high, you are my......mom. I love you through the years and our family but people have past away but not YOU! Like a dolphin swimming through the sea, you are you and me".

Hashtag this! This is what my hair looks like 44 stories up. I doubt there has ever been a more ridiculous picture taken of me. You got some mad skills @lindstogram! #vancouver2015 #sistermomsbcescape #novanityhere

The rainbow of cardigans I have to choose from for this trip is astounding - and this doesn't count all my white, black, and gray ones. I think I need a new style. #vancouver2015

So I know it's not really the right time for me to be shopping, but doesn't everyone (or at least me) need a pair of yellow Cons? Right? 😉

Spring Break Day 5: getting out insane amounts of energy. We're babysitting my 3 nephews again, and this is preferable to tying them all to the pole in the garage with duct tape. And the tunes here are da bomb. Pump up the jam, yo.

Spring Break Days 2-3: Home in the theater, shopping for the speediest shoes ever, lunch at my favorite (Pen Thai) and a surprisingly skillful self applied mani. #springbreak2015 #emmettjames #cousinsrule

Just took this little tiny to the Dr for a checkup - poor kid doesn't even register on the growth charts, so I thought I'd fatten him up with some fries. 😉

Someone had a rough night. 😔 I know I post a lot of pics of this kid sleeping, but it's the only time he's quiet and I relish it. 😊 Love him. #emmettjames

This is a special shout out to all my friends and family that have 5 or more kids. You are all heroic and you are all insane. 😀 Ammon and I are watching my 3 nephews for a couple days while sis and hubs get a tiny break. The kids are having a blast, and we old people are now partially deaf. It's astounding and hilarious. How do such little people make so much noise? #beautifulseattle #bigfamadventures2015

At the Sound of Music sing-a-long with @cassybrekke! The costume contest was epic with lots of nuns, Frau Schviga, and a hill that was alive with the sounds of music.
