We celebrated Carson’s birthday this past weekend with his friends at The Lumberyard, a unique indoor bike park not too far from our house. It was the perfect venue for a bunch of rowdy six and seven year olds {and a few dads} to burn off energy and have a ton of fun:
All boys! Got them to sit still long enough for this photo opp {with the promise of cupcakes after the clicks}:
Rehydrating and Recharging: Pizza and H2O for the kiddos, pitchers of micro brew for the parents. 
Chocolate, vanilla and red velvet cupcakes from Saint Cupcake. I designed some appropriate-themed toppers:
Favor Bags:
Happy 7th C! Here’s to an awesome ride in your 7th year!
My sweet tokens of affection for Mother’s Day. I felt very special and well celebrated.
Carson created this mixed media piece at school using watercolors, pencil and ink pad {his fingerprints!}. Promptly framed and hung.
Hadley’s letter to me, dictated by her teachers {referring to the bootie shaking, by We she means her}.
We had the opportunity to take a weekend excursion up to Victoria, British Columbia thanks to Jason’s work. It was a relaxing weekend full of good food, mojitos, and exploring the city. My iPhone recap:
Showing off my skills in Fan Tan Alley in Chinatown:
One morning we went for a long run along the harbour and meandered through old neighborhoods under a brilliant blue sky:
Ending up at Craigdarroch Castle overlooking the city:
Followed by a much anticipated lunch. Presenting the most heavenly fish taco ever. Definitely worth the 30 minute wait in line {look at all that ahi!). Jason was equally pleased with his fish & chips from this fab food cart we had heard about all weekend:
