seattle bound


we are back from our pnw vacation.
it was sooo wonderful to have a few days to get away from the busyness of life.
as always it went by too quickly and as always i took way too many pictures...
let's just say i brought two 4GB cards and filled those up and had to make a quick trip to the store buy a third.
we will appreciate all these memories later, that's what i keep telling barth.
for now i get the fun job of going through them all and picking my favs to share.

this was day one of travel.
the girls did really well on the flight and we managed to keep riley somewhat entertained. my goodness this is a challenging age to take on a plane.



our rental car van was a swagger wagon. it's the second time we have gotten a minivan and once again my hubby spent the entire trip convincing me why i needed one. he thinks they are the best things ever. you never know babe, someday you may be pleasantly surprised with one...who says you need to be toting around a dozen kids to have one?! maybe you and your fellow doctors could start a carpool. just sayin. 
{the girls loving their new car}

reunited with our pnw cousins! the girls wasted no time getting silly....

she is one happy camper and was beaming at the fact that she get's to be with mommy everyday for awhile.
i think she loves me.

a rockin' 50's party

it has been a busy week for us...what's new right?
i should be packing for our trip tomorrow, but instead i am blogging. this is more fun.

it was miss keen's birthday this week. a couple of us moms got together and planned a surprise party.
the theme was 50's and it was adorable.
we got permission for a free dress day for the kiddos and even snuck into the school just before 10pm to decorate. we had a lot of fun with it.
happy birthday miss keen♥
