day 2....THE BEACH

This was our layed back day! It was filled with drawing in the sand and collecting as many seashells as we could find, mixed with clams that just entertained the kids for hours!!! I've decided that I NEED to live by a beach!!

Hunter and Doyle were hooked at the hip!!! so fun to see them being so cute!!

I Love these kids!!!!!!
On the look out for just the right shell

Mr. Grant and Miss Bryn were just happy playin in the dirt!!! they couldn't get enough of it!

and the Merry continues....day 1 Sea World

The night before we took the kids to eat at Denny's, the only place open on Christmas Day. Miss Kiersten's hand started really swelling and turning purple so Becky and Justin took her to the nearest ER to have her cast cut!!!!!poor thing was sooo brave!
So the next day we stayed close and decided to take the kids to Sea World!!!! Fabulous plan, we had a blast!!!

washington day one....it was a doozy...but so cool

Kaely almost passed out at the security check point so we had her in the stroller with Bryn the whole time and the minute we hit the plane she was asleep on Cam, Cambry was such a trooper to let her sleep on her for 2 hours!!

Bryn was seriously the BEST baby ever!!! she was soooo good on the flight up!!!

Doyle was a trooper also. right after this pic I threw my phone at Brian and jumped up cause he started throwing up!!! Poor kid

Benedryl in the bottle with the juice will do it everytime. she slept the whole time.
and yes that was okay'd by my Dr.

Here we are after getting the rental car that was too small for all of us and our luggage but once we got rid of the luggage it fit us perfectly!!! The drive from Seattle to Wenatchee was amazing, we couldn't get over how full and lush the trees were. It was goregous!! Doyle had thrown up that morning at 4:30 while waiting in the parking lot for the shuttle! then again on the plane which distracted me and I think I left my camera bag, with the camera and 3 lens's and full of pics on it. I am sick about it!

So Brian is proud of this pic, he loved seeing the construction going on....it's how he roll's!

This is coming up Shawna and Ben's road to their house, at the top on the left is their house and the kids were out in the road waving hystarically as we pulled in!!! We were all so excited

I don't think they knew how to contain themselves and as soon as I got out of the car I jumped all over them......I miss them soooo much! we couldn't believe how cool it was there! 75 was the high the first day we were there!!! it was amazing!!!

Part two of the Reunion......The Beginning

So I wish that I would have taken pictures of the night we left for the Reunion on Thurs, when we stopped in Laveen to pick up Shamoms and the kids, after we got about 35 min outside of Flagstaff my car decided to lose all horsepower and we were at a standstill on the side of the Freeway for about an hour!!! My handy Mr. fix it got the car up and running after a few tugs and pulls of some wires, 5 hot kids, using our phones for flashlights, dumping shawna's bag out on the side of the freeway looking for a pair of tweezers, using the tip of a pen (which broke, but didn't know it at the time and when it didn't do what he needed it to, put it in his back pocket which bleed all over him and onto my leather seat) 5 hot kids, no water bottles, no tools (hey it's a girls car) did I mention 5 hot kids, an Ipod that was dead so no movie, Nintendo Ds's that were dying!!!! No wonder there were no pictures being taken, and all the while Brian never lost it with any of us, but after we got the car up and running we stopped at the next gas station and yep you guessed it, we got water bottles, alot of them, a flashlight, a toolbox for my car ( I wanted pink, but yeah whatever) a rockstar, chocolate, hey priorities right, and then it was off the Flag......... what the &)%*&^)



Bubba D: "Hey mom take my picture with me looking at you like this"
