Trip to Washington!

Right after my parents got home from their mission in NYC Kevin and I headed down to Washington for a week. My family wanted to do a baby shower for me before miss Finley came so we hurried down to Enumclaw! It's a 13hr drive from Rexburg and being almost 8 months pregnant I was a little nervous for the drive. Shockingly it wasn't bad at all! We had so much fun while we were there seeing family!


We even passed a place in Washington named Finley!!


Paying for gas in Washington wasn't ver much fun though :(


The saturday after we got there we went and watched our nephews baseball tournament all day long. It was lots of fun watching them play! Mckay is the catcher on his team and Tanner pitches, they are awesome!! Everyone got nice sunburns from sitting out in the sun all day too.





We got to finally meet our nephew Ryan (Scott & Kelli's boy)!!! He is so so cute!!! He has the cutest hair that flies straight up and the biggest cheeks! He was a lot of fun to play with.



Kevin wanted to see some real forests up in Washington so my parents took us up to the mountains. Kevin said it was "good for his soul". He loved it. We also got to see a big giant tree that was 700 years old! It takes about 10 people to fit all the way around! Then we went to our favorite place and Wapiti Woolies and got huckleberry milkshakes!







We also went to Seattle for the day with my parents. We went to the Ballard Locks and got to see lots of fancy boats go through.




We also went to my favorite seafood restaurant The Crabpot!! Kevin had never experienced real seafood so my parents and I had to show him how it's really done!!! At the Crabpot they dump big buckets of seafood (crab, clams, muscles, shrimp) on your table and you just dive right in! It was so so yummy and Kevin loved it!!! 




We had so much fun while we were in Washington hanging out with family! Now we are back in Rexburg waiting for miss Finley to arrive! Only 4 1/2 more weeks!! We even got a stroller....weird!!!

Happy 23rd birthday Kevin!!!

May 10th was Kevin's 23rd birthday! He works all day long so I tried to plan the whole day out so whenever we were together we were doing something for his birthday.  The day before I was running around town gathering things for his birthday and after I had made my last stop at the store to get 3 balloons to be sitting out the morning of his birthday I opened the car and the 3 balloons that I had just bought flew right out the window and into space!!!! I was so mad!! Whoever saw that probably got a good laugh. It was probably even more funny to watch a 7 1/2 months pregnant woman running after them. I went inside and waited a few hours to go get new ones so the people at the store wouldn't be suspicious as to why I was coming to get 3 more balloons. (you better believe I had a death grip on those new balloons until they were safe in my house!!

So Kevin's birthday morning came with breakfast (he just wanted cereal), a new design magazine and a card I made just for him! He is always designing cards for people so I thought I would impress him!

I went and picked up Kevin for his lunch break his friend Zach came over and brought Taco Bus tacos (our favorite!).  Kevin has been wanting to play the Donkey Kong Wii game for a while so I borrowed it from a friend and we got to play that on his lunch break as well.


Kevin got home from work and we played some more Wii and got ready to make one of Kevin's favorite dinners, calzones! Our friends Zach and Hannah came over for dinner to celebrate with us. Kevin opened a couple of presents and then we watched a movie and had Kevin's requested cookie ice cream sandwiches. It was a very fun day!
