LOVE this girl!

I am in love with this little girl right here! I know I am biased, but she is THE cutest thing in the world!! She makes me smile and laugh and has such a funny little personality! I told you she loved accessories. She doesn't leave the house with out her sunglasses :)

Saturday Fun!

There is a little town called George not too far from us. Owen is usually over that way because of work and has mentioned this statue of George Washington to me several times. So this last Saturday we went with Owen to check some fields and then stopped by this statue.

I have decided that as much as I love Owen, he is not the greatest picture taker in the world - He doesn't count or give you a heads up. He just takes the picture - thus the reason I am not quite smiling in this picture :)
After our afternoon of driving and checking fields we headed over to "Big R". It's like a farm and ranch store. My friend Jenny had mentioned they had baby chicks so I had been wanting to go check them out. And as you guess, Evie LOVED them! They were so sweet and cute!

We had a hard time dragging her away from them! We told her we were going to go look at boots and that was enough to distract her!

Of course she found this cute cowboy hat she just HAD to put on. This girl LOVES accessories! We are talking hats, purses, shoes, jewelry, sunglasses - you name it. She wants it!


We love spending time with daddy! We are trying to take advantage of it before he gets super busy at work ( that's what everyone keeps telling us) So until then........

We have visitors!!!

We have had three sets of visitors in the last couple weeks and have loved EVERY second of it! Our first set got here on Sunday, March 27th. We stayed up late, made cookies, traveled to Seattle, changed a flat tire on the way home from Seattle (in the dark, may I add), traveled to Spokane, laughed and had a blast!! Here are a few pictures to recap! Our first outing was to the Pacific Science Center in Seattle, Wa. Here are all of the kids packed into the van. Thomas is sitting behind Evie!

While we were at the museum, they had a fun area for toddlers. Here are Reagan and Thomas playing with some water :)

We had fun with the mirrors! Here are Mary Jo and I posing as midgets :)
We played in the music room...
Went through the Star Wars Exhibit they had :)
A family picture of my lovely visitors!
Ev's and I in front of Space Needle
Boy did we have fun with those mirrors! Half way home from Seattle ( it takes about 3 hours to get there from Moses Lake) the tire blew out on the freeway, in the dark. We had no flashlight and nobody stopped to help us. Luckily I have Superwoman for my sister in-law! She did AWESOME - her previous experience changing flat tires on her van + a cell phone for light and the owners manual for her van = Success!
We went to an indoor water park in Spokane the second day and had a blast! While in Spokane we stopped by Target where I scored a cute black dress for $10 bucks and bright red earrings for $2 bucks! We also picked up Tangled and watched it that night, such a cute movie!


Evie absolutely LOVED having her cousins around! I decided we need to have more kids so she won't be so bored with us ;) We had so much fun and look forward to seeing them this summer when we tackle Silverwood!!! Love you guys! We miss you already!


Owen's sister Rochelle and her family got into town the night after my side of the family left. Once again, Evie enjoyed all of the extra attention from her cousins! We made another trip into Spokane and shopped til we dropped! We had such a blast and really enjoyed their visit!


Last but not least my parents came to town a week ago on Sunday and stayed until Friday. My dad had some work to do in Lewiston so he dropped my mom off and she stayed with us for the week. We went shopping in Tri Cities, WA. stopped by the beautiful Columbia River Temple, ate at some horrible buffets ( and I mean HORRIBLE!), watched American Idol and Evie got to spend some special time with Grandma! We miss them already and had such a fun, spoiling trip! Can't wait to move back to Idaho someday!


I know there isn't too much to do up here, but I promise anybody who comes to visit, we will show them a good time!
