Road trip!

The middle of July brought myself and the kiddos a trip back to Moses Lake to visit our long lost friends!

This was Evie as excited as ever to get going. She couldn't wait to see her friends!

Such a cute little guy. He was ready to go as well :)

 On our drive to Moses Lake we stopped in Pendeleton, Oregon. Evie refused to get in the picture with Zayne. Little stinker! I fed Zayne during our stop and got Evie an ice cream cone from the McDonalds. The kids did great on the 5 hour drive except the last 20 miles! So close :)

 We arrived Thursday night. This is a picture of my friend Jenny's little guy, Weston and Zayne. They are only 3 days apart. Jenny was throwing a surprise baby shower for our friend Edra. I was part of the surprise. Edra wasn't expecting me until that Saturday.

 This was Edra's surprise face :)

 We opted to hang out outside because Jenny's air conditioner went out earlier in the day. It was only a little hot ;) I hope you finally got it fixed, Jenny!

 There were some serious storm clouds that night. It was a magnificent sight! We made it inside right before it started pouring rain.

 Zayne was loving his time with Edra and baby Mable.

Evie was scared to death to go down this slide last year. She has come a long way, folks!

 Zayne was sure spoiled on our trip! Someone was always holding him!

 We met with our friends, Annie and Nathan and their kids, for dinner!

 He's looking at me like "more pictures, mom? Really?"

 We went to a birthday party......

 Where the kids colored with crayons on to a piece of sand paper then it was ironed onto a shirt. It was pretty cool! Sounds like a good Family Home Evening idea!

 All of the kids in their shirts!

 My friend Courtney drew her dog, Bentley, on a onsie for Zayne.

 Evie chose to scribble with yellow crayon.....it ended up looking like a big stain on her shirt ;)

 Miss these gals! After the birthday party, we headed back home. We were gone for 10 days and we were ready to get back to daddy!

 I love this girl. She does the funniest little things!

We sure enjoyed our time with our friends back in Washington. We enjoyed going to the gym, playing, swimming, sewing, cooking, eating, laughing and talking. We miss all of our friends, dearly, but are so glad we can still keep in touch! We look forward to seeing baby Mable in a few more weeks! Its hard to believe that we moved 3 months ago. I still feel like we are in transition because we are still living with my parents. We finally found a house to rent and we move in Sep. 15th! Our crazy, upside down world will finally start settling down soon and we can't wait :)
