The blog has been a little bit hit or miss recently, but we are now back on track!
Lindsey's Birthday
Lindsey turned 12 this month, and that is a milestone that we simply can not miss with this girl. Come with me on a walk down memory lane. Lindsey has always been energetic, happy, chatty, and fun to be around. Here are some highlights:
 |
| We must begin with Lindsey's head. It is legitimately the perfect round shape. No joke, I think this is Logan's favorite part of her. He will often be heard saying, even today, "Lindsey, I like your head." This may sound extremely weird, but it has an affection to it that can't be matched. It is a thing that just is. Lindsey has a nice head. |
 |
| I love Lindsey's smile. It lights up EVERYthing and it always has. |
 |
| Since L could walk, she has been outside. Often she can be found out in the snow, or on the trampoline. She doesn't like to sit still, and outside is her happy place. I remember being very happy when she could put her snow clothes on by herself because her constant need to be outside necessitated a lot of outfit changes. |
 |
| At two years old I would always have a list of words the kids could say because the doctor would inevitably ask how many words were spoken by the age of two (50 was the benchmark). All of the kids hit this mark just right, and I estimated over 600 words for our sweet Lindz at her two year check up. |
 |
Lindz was extremely mischievous and always up to something. This is one of our many Hiawatha trail rides, and Lindsey had just thrown her shoe 250 feet down the ravine. Logan was able to retrieve it, but these shenanigans were pretty par for the course!  |
 |
| This girl is a fish. She could live in the water full time. She misses our boat more than anyone else and will still occasionally bring up boating memories. |
 |
| Lindsey full accepted the challenge of keeping up with her siblings. She was climbing around the time she first started to walk. I found these shoes recently and they are tinier than the palm of my hand. |

This picture fully shows who is the little boss in our family. Lindsey would run everything if she could. She is also, to this day, one of the most responsible kids. This girlie marches to her own drum. Base layers? What are those? I have seen everything from crop tops to tutus under this girls ski gear!  Don't let this cuteness fool you. It must be said that this girl could be nicknamed 'dropsy' for the absentminded craziness that is Lindsey. She leaves a lovely trail wherever she goes. On the bright side, She is never hard to find!  Lindz has been doing Irish for a while now. This picture shows her poise and confidence that she carries with her everywhere she goes, and I am excited to sit back and watch her grow and rock this thing called life. |
Thanks for taking this trip down memory lane with me. We love you Lindz!
Lindsey had a fun sleepover birthday party in Wallace. She had a rainbow theme that incorporated painting on canvases, and creating their own birthday cakes. These girls have all been friends forever, and it is a good time when they are together.
Recently, Lindsey told me that she hates the sound of silence, and whenever it is quiet she will talk. This totally tracks! Remember how she used over 600 words by the age of two? She uses her words often, and if I ever want someone to talk to, she is a good 'go to!'
Maren came up with the perfect present for Lindsey! She took her to the mall for the afternoon and they got their nails done together and went out for ice cream. This picture of Maren and Lindsey makes my heart happy!

| Adalie kept me company while the girls had their Wallace sleepover. I introduced Addy to The Fainting Goat. It did not disappoint. |
While we were in Wallace, Jackson took the opportunity to invite Aurora, Jocelyn, and Seth over for an epic Dungeon and Dragons sleepover. No pictures were taken, but plenty of sweet and salty snacks were consumed, and D and D reigned.
Huckleberries!
Huckleberries are finally here! We have ventured into the mountains multiple times so far, and we have yet to be disappointed. Huckleberries are scarce this year, but the excitement of the hunt is wonderful!
Climbing
It is still fun having Marissa and her family living close by! We climb together as often as we can manage to get away! I recently went indoor climbing with Adalie and Maren. We have a blast, but didn't get any pictures. Drat!
Theater
We have seen a few plays in the last two weeks:
On a whim, we decided to go see Next to Normal: In Concert at Stage Left Theater. I have had this one on my radar for a long time since this play has stuck with me. We didn't know what to expect with the in concert part, but Stage Left did not disappoint. They never do!
Adalie went to see Tuck Everlasting with her friend, Faith. "It was pretty great and better than I expected. I had a wonderful night out." -Adalie
Out with Jack

Jack took ME out! he wanted to say thank you for everything that I do for him. He is a pretty cool guy. Thanks Jack!
Leavenworth
Evelyn's Trip in her own words:
Hey, this is Evelyn. Josh and I went on a trip to Leavenworth this last weekend. We slept at the trailhead of Colchuck Lake, and then got up in the morning to hike the five miles to the lake. It was gorgeous, as usual, but about halfway up, Josh saw a bear ahead of us, with red in its mouth, looking right at him. We backed away slowly, and it paralleled the trail following us. It eventually passed by us and was on its way, but it was definitely pretty scary. Part of it was really cool though. The lake was so much prettier than I remember, and we had lunch before coming down again. After the hike we went to Leavenworth to walk around some shops, and then we had a Bavarian Pretzel in an outside restaurant that looked on to Main Street. It was a very fun trip, and hard to summarize into just one paragraph, and we had a ton of fun, and I really loved getting to show him one of the coolest areas I have been in!
