Washington was our last stop on our way to Japan. We stayed there for a couple weeks and enjoyed every minute of it. We picked raspberries, went on walks, met my nephew Ryan for the first time, stayed up too late, and just had fun. I loved this trip.
Ryan, looking slightly mischievous.
My mom and dad had all the grandkids for a big sleepover, complete with finger painting, outdoor fun, and popcorn and a movie.
We swam at Scott and Kelli's a few times. The boys were so comfortable in the water this time! Last year, Anderson cried and cried in the pool. This year, he was jumping off the edge by himself. Time to get that kid in swimming lessons.
This is my favorite house in Enumclaw. It's an old house. I think my dad said it was there when he was growing up. Every time I drive by it I think about how I wish I could buy it and move it to a big piece of property. I love the charm that it has.
Riley turned 7 and had an Olympic themed party.
Kelli's sister got married and I tagged along with Angie while she took their pictures. I love coming to the temple where we were married. Especially since it was right before our 7th anniversary!
We threw a baby shower for Stephanie who now has a cutie pie baby boy, Kayson. He was 9lbs 13oz!! Let's just say she is slightly excited to not be pregnant any more.
I love this picture of Jack at the Flight Museum. He has changed a lot in the past year and I think he looks so handsome in this picture.
I love Seattle.
Alki Beach
We were able to hang out with Steph Berglind a couple times, which was exciting because I swear she goes out of town for at least part of the time, every time I visit! Jack had to ride in their car the first day we saw them, and he was sad and crying about it. After he got in the car, he looked at Hayden and said, "Hey, you kind of look like me." After that, they were friends and he was done crying.
Lucy is a few months younger than Anderson but a teeny bit taller! I think the Brownell genes might have a hold on Anderson.
We got to watch Finley Sue Sue while Whitney and Kevin went out for their anniversary. I miss this little cutie!
