Bloomsday weekend

Bloomsday weekend...SO FUN! Not only did I get to see lots of my Spokane friends, one of my very best friends, Brooke, came to run too! And she brought her sweet hubby with her. What a perfect weekend!!! For some reason I can't move pictures around so everything is out of order :) but here are some pictures from our fun weekend!

my 6th bloomsday to run :) I was SUPER sad to not be able to run it with Eric-it's our tradition! Guess that just means we'll have to fly up here another year to run it together :)
so much fun and so many people!!!

Brooke and me pushing ourselves up "doomsday" hill

crossing the finish line-my goal was under 1 hour but my official time was - 1 hr 1 minute and 27 seconds - at least it was my best time of the 6 bloomsdays...

we did it!

one of our close friend's precious dad died in the fall from cancer-I was lucky enough to be able to wear his name on my back during the race

hanging out with the girls

it was so fun to have Brooke and Kevin there too

and sweet Laura always opens her house to us and kept my kiddos during the race...she's the best!!!

hanging out in downtown Spokane

Addelyn loved the runners



Adde and Kevin were fast friends

the falls here huge because of the snow melt-

so sweet


I sure do love Spokane!


our photo tradition

walking to the big radio flyer wagon slide-Addelyn was SO EXCITED!!!

I love these girls to death

Erin's baby shower

A couple of weekends ago Eric had a class in Seattle so I loaded up the kiddos and headed to Spokane for Bloomsday weekend. One of my most favorite friends (Erin) just recently had a precious baby girl...so I had the honor of co-hosting a baby shower for them. It was a wonderful time hanging out with my Spokane girls...and Adde had a ball too! :)

the girls+2 precious babies
