8 years

Last Friday (the 12th), Tyson and I celebrated our 8 year anniversary. My parents had gotten us tickets to Les Miserables for my dad's birthday (still not sure how that was for his birthday cause we all didn't even go together, but whatever, worked out great for our anniversary :-) We took one picture on Tyson's phone that night at the play and that was it...bummer. We met up with Kyle and Necia for dinner at the Wild Ginger since it was almost their anniversary too and then headed to the play. It was amazing! The fam was nice enough to watch the kids over night so we could have a night to ourselves. Thanks again guys!!! This is the most recent picture I have of the two of us...aren't we just cute! Happy anniversary to us!


Seattle

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE being close to family!?!?! Well, I do! Lexi got to go over to Seattle and participate in a dance camp with her cousin, Katrina. It was in the mornings for a week. The last day we got to go and see what they had done. I must say it was pretty stinkin' cute and Lexi had a great time!

We stayed another week at Heathers house and had a blast! Here were some highlights:

Going to the park...they had fun posing for the pics...I didn't even tell them to do this

Lexi, Natalie, Katrina, Jace, Sadie


Going swimming...I think this was Coleson's favorite!


How cute is this girl?!?! Sadie was so fearless in the water

The waster was too cold for Jace so he sat on this floatie the whole time and collected ducks

Saturday we went to Northwest trek. It was pretty cool. You get on a little bus and drive around and look at the elk, deer, bison, goats, etc.

See the raccoon in the back. Jace asked if the raccoon let all it's stink out, ahah...uh, wrong animal buddy :-)





Snow cones were usually on the agenda.



There is this little trail by their house that has an amazing view. How beautiful is this? The girls loved that they all had matching shirts...$2.99 at children's place!
Much time was spent on the trampoline


playing basketball



trying to contain this boy was a challenge. He is all over the place right now and into everything.

Splash park, which lasts all of about 5 minutes cause it was a little chilly out

We went to the beach one day. We left before lunch and were worried because it was pretty cloudy, but as soon as we got there the clouds separated and the sun came out. It was so pretty! The kids didn't get in the water cause it was frigid, but they had a good time playing in the rocks and digging

Coleson got dragged around everywhere...sometime you have to improvise for nap time. He surprisingly lasted a good 20 min in there

We left the beach and decided to stop at the flower garden.



And then my camera died...what do you expect after all that right??? What a good time we had!
Much of the days consisted of the girls putting together fashion shows and dances...Lexi loved being girly with them! Thanks Heather and Bryan for putting up with us for so long!
