Girls weekend vs. Boys weekend!

FINALLY...a weekend were the girls did girlie things and the boys did boyish things....we chose to relax, slumber party and hang out, while they chose to camp, hunt and more!

Here's Erin and Baby Chase...7 months old this week! She came down from Bellingham for the night to spend some quality time with her ladies...miss her so much!
Next up, Mama Capps (preggers with #3 - due May 11th) playing with Baby Chase!
...and of course, another one with Mama Capps and Baby Chase!
Finally, Miss Amanda gets little Chase to SMILE...yeah!
The ladies...after some play time with baby Chase...time to grab a quick bite and enjoy GIRL TAlk...
Amanda, Erin, Kristin, Me and Suzanne (with Big Boy Kain who used the Big Boy potty at Auntie Stacie's - yeah!!!)
Well, I'd love to show the pictures from the wild part of the night...but we are OLD Ladies and called it a night after a little breast pump fun (guess you had to be here)! Love these ladies...Ms. O'Hara we missed you...but I think you enjoyed your mimosas so we will call it even.

Next up...Rich's adventures...he's still not home, but in route...so I don't know much except they camped, drank Wild Turkey, saw some turkeys, but aren't bringing any home! The boys had fun though...

Haha...this picture just cracks me up!
This was the "spot" that they hunted....
The beautiful morning!
It's great to have weekends apart...but Chukar and I sure miss PAPA! Come home!

My hubby....the rockstar!

Not only is he the best husband in the world....or does he constantly surprise me with how awesome he is....how motivated he is....just now, I found out that he has been nominated to the board of directors of the Bellevue chapter of the WSCPA!!!

Yes! He is that awesome!

Xoxo babe!!!

A Hop, Scotch and a Walk!

The weekend...well, we did it! We hopped...we Tequila'd...we dined....we walked...and even Spring Clean'd!

Friday night...Rich and I met up with Amanda and Heather and headed down to the Hop Scotch Festival in Fremont for some beer, wine, and even tequila....

Amanda and I decided that this was our favorite beer!

The rest of the pictures were a little like Vegas...what happens at Hop Scotch...stays at Hop Scotch!

Saturday was THE BEST...Rich, Chukar and I lounged in bed all day and ever got McDonald's...an amazing day of lounging for the family that never stops! The lounging had nothing to do with Hop Scotch the night before (haha)!

Saturday night we met up with the McNear's at Brix in Kirkland for a little Date Night...and YES, we were their first couple's date night...Yep, we fancy!

Sunday morning started bright and early with Team Sweetheart's 2nd Year doing the MS Walk in memory of my Grandma Sweetheart (and all other friends that have MS)!

We raised $1,450 dollars this year! A great push at the end helped us reach this goal. Overall, the Seattle walk has raised over $750K to date! Way to go SEATTLE! Next year we hope to have some more walkers...but my parents, Buster, Maggie and myself had a great time this year!

All done with the walk...Mom, Buster, Maggie and Me!
We got home and did some work for MMAC...and all the other fun chores that happen on Sundays while Chukar played outside!

Goofball!


We are all ready for Spring at the Meyer house...ready for weekend hikes, afternoon fishing trips to the lake, BBQ's in the backyard, camping and more...I guess it also means that I need to get training for my Triathlon this spring/summer (date TBD).

Another successful weekend in the books!
Next weekend it's off to the Tri-Cities...where it is currently 70 degrees!
BRING IT!

Chukar's day trip...

Today was a long day at work for Rich and I....so insert Grandma to the rescue....

How she manages to video while she drives....and still stop at all stop signs and not injure the little ones...amazes me!



Of course, what fun is Grandma's house...without teasing the Bear Cubs...here is Chukar taunting Buster with a squeak toy!



Looks like someone had a fun day!

Mr. Waggles Wags Again....

We love this little man and are praying for great news today!

Here is a glimpse into how he got his nickname "Mr. Waggles"!!!

Vegas Madness 2011 - Take One!

After close to 72 hours in VEGAS (ok, actually 67 hours), I can HONESTLY say....we have been here for 3 more hours than necessary. Tried to get out of here early...but we are holed up at the airport bar.....so I blog....while I finish some red wine, recall the lack of sleep we've had and reminisce about the trip that was VEGAS MADNESS 2011 (the 1st annual trip)! It was definitely one for the record books with more 5 hours energy drank than a human should...and less sleep that I've ever had in 3 consecutive days...it was EPIC!!!

I have to say...if you weren't here...you missed out...and if you were here...then only you know the REAL TRUTH of the weekend...as this blog remains to be PG-13 and there are just some things that you can share!

Did I say EPIC....

Back on Wednesday (seems like a lifetime or 2 ago, and a pound of dignity ago)....Heather and I have our 1st cocktails of the weekend at the airport bar.

We rolled onto the strip about 12 am....and lucky for all involved there were no pictures from the night...which must mean that we didn't drink, didn't gamble and probably had an all around AWFUL time...I do know that the clock said 4:57 am when we rolled in, so I'm sure that we just helped little old ladies cross the street, took a quick jog and even enjoyed a movie (RIGHT?!?!)...well, if there are no pictures, then there is no proof....so if you weren't here, then you will never know......

Thursday morning we woke up early...after a 4 hour power nap and enjoyed the "JACUZ"...

(picking up the blog from home now)
Thursday...we continued our journey down the strip and ended up at the NY NY Roller coaster....best advice to give for this is to NOT drink a Long Island prior to boarding, but do make sure to pound 2 gin and tonics after....
We continued outside to listen to some Celtic music and drink up on Green Beer....looks A LOT better than it tasted (and that is not telling much)!
We continued on to Blondie's at Planet Hollywood to watch games for the afternoon...and then it was time to hit up the Dance Floor!!!!

Stripes and Stripes ready to DO THIS....BEST MUSIC EVER!
Ricky and Trish...doing it up right too!
And the boys are ready to hit LAVO at the Palazzo!
So cute....having a drink at the Lounge side...before hitting the dance floor!
And we are IN....well, to the skywalk, at least! Best part (ok, maybe not best part, but awesome that we drank for free for about 2 hours)....and DANCED!!!
Boy, am I thirsty!

Adam and I were cutting a rug on the dance floor and even had some "choreographed" steps
...if you are lucky, we might reenact some day!Yep..."we fly like that"!
....and the night ended about 5 hours after that picture....

Friday morning was GAME day...

Amanda, Heather and I decked out in our "game day" gear
...and ready for X-Burlesque that night!
A few Washington Apples before tip off (and by few, I mean 5)!
Yep, of course, he had to wear the hat....and yes, Cougs and Huskies can get along.
Insert hand motion here...
Ready for Friday night out on the town...X-Burlesque with the boys
...then the bars and "club"....
Our very special ride to the "club"....
Yep...Heather and I love these boys!
Posing...to make sure we are the best lookin' ladies at the "club"
...and YES, we succeeded!
Final day was a little rough...but we did hit up Cafe Bellagio for a late Brunch....and the FLOWERS were amazing (these are for you Mom and Aunt Roxy)!
The trip ended with a 10 minutes for $10...or maybe 35 minutes! I will make sure that I get the FOOT massage every time I hit up Vegas!
I had someone ask me the Best part and Worst part about our trip...and my response was - I don't know you well enough to tell you either...and believe me, the best parts of our trip WERE not captured in this blog...I'd recommend you book your tickets now for Vegas Madness 2012 - Take Two! It's going to be EPIC times 2!

No way, Joses!!!!

Vegas...March Madness....yes, please!

Ready!
Set!
GO!!!

Time for basketball, sparkly shirts, cocktails and FUN!!!! We are off tonight to our SUITE, Sweet, in Vegas...for 3 days of fun, friends and I'm sure an epic adventure!

Vegas, be warned....Rich, Heather, Adam, Amanda, Chris and I are going to "DO YOU UP" this weekend!
