life lately | our weekend

what I'm gonna call our weekend started on thursday :)
about mid morning,  brandon's work schedule for the day opened up. he came up to me, suggested we take the kids to northwest trek, and without an ounce of hesitation I said YES.
it literally made my week.
doing family things together is one of my absolute favorite things. with brandon's work life in real estate it can be sporadic as to when he has free time. and even when things are planned ahead, last minute work appointments can switch that up.
life of a realtor ;)
but there are also perks like having this whole thursday afternoon together as a family!
northwest trek is amazing!
it's what I would call a 'zoo', but in addition to that they have a tram that drives you through acres and acres of wildlife. the animals are literally right outside the window.
it's so fun and amazing to see them so close!
after our tram ride, it was time for a little ice cream treat before walking around to see the rest of the animals.
friday
one of my favorite times of day is putting this sweet boy down for his nap.
it's so stinking hard for me to actually lay him down though once he falls asleep!
that afternoon I headed out with some awesome mamas from fit4mom for some kayaking fun followed by pizza. this girl time was so refreshing and filled me up!
saturday
the only picture taken... but I was home with the babes in the morning while brandon was working.
then tanner + harper had some time with their nana while my sister-in-law angela and I went out for a coffee and some shopping before meeting up with our husbands for a fun bbq with friends.
sunday
at the start of 2017, brandon made the decision to take sundays off of work. in real estate, that is not always an easy thing to do. it can become 24/7 if you let it. but since he's done it, it has been the BEST for all of us.
so sunday is family day.
we made our way to the farmer's market with tyler, angela, & lleyton.
did some things around the house, went outside for some bike riding, and fit in some naps.
THEN!!!
it was harper's first every HAIR CUT!!
to trim those little baby hairs that have been there for three whole years was not easy!!
but made such a difference in her hair with it getting cleaned up.
I should've done this long ago!!
...and I'm the crazy mom who saves her baby's hair!

it was a good one over here, and hope your weekend was a happy one too!!

4th of July 2017 || Suncadia

about a month ago we got talking with some of our best friends about what we were gonna do for the 4th, and we were all itching to get out of town. 
so brandon researched some houses to rent that would fit all eight of us, and soon enough we were booked for a fouth of july weekend away to Suncadia! a hjelseth + brown fourth of july trip!!
the past two winters, right before christmas we've made the couple hour drive to suncadia for a few days. (last winter's trip HERE). we were excited to experience it this time in the summer!

...just summing it all up with a photo dump for memory's sake :)

a fun summery sunday

a photo every hour post.. turned just a fun summery sunday post.
I started out good but as the afternoon came rolling around, a photo every hour just didn't happen cause we were having too much fun. but lots of fun pictures of my loves that I can't help but document :)

6am
early morning waking in the 6's, but when baby slept allll night without a single wake-- I actually felt energized!
7am
8am
9am
these new insta filters-- so fun!!
10am
11am
a little time with my girl drinking our chai while brother naps :)
...and then that's when I lost it.
we headed to the country club for a family lunch to celebrate Brandon's brother Tyler's birthday.
then harper went over to nana + papa's for a few hours while brandon and I spent some time with this little (BIG) guy.
a busy day made for not getting his good, solid afternoon nap.. little one caught a quick cat nap on our way to dinner at our friends garrett + lexi's. 
a sunny sunday in the books and I can't wait for what the rest of this summer has in store for us!
