February: Washington!

In February, Zack went on a work detail to Tucson, AZ for 45 days. I didn't feel like entertaining a 2 year old in a small hotel or at home by myself for that long, so I found some awesome plane tickets (seriously like 29.99 & 39.99 each way + taxes and fees) And went to visit family & friends back home for 4 weeks! Our trip started off in Ferndale with Zack's family. Kale had sooooooo much fun playing with all of his cousins: jumping on the bed, climbing the fireplace, sword fighting with carson, piggy back rides with gracie... It sort of made me sad to see how much he is missing... but very glad we were able to go up and visit. Some memorable things about the WA trip: a sweet family valentines day party, going to BC to see the olympic torch with Ali & Carson, watching the olympics with John & Cindy every night, catching up with my good friend Michelle, spending a fun Saturday celebrating Erin's b-day with Kim and Kaitlyn... plus a not so fun end of the same day rushing back up to the hospital to see poor Mark with his broken arm, and finally doing a fun photo shoot with the Hinds kids. It was definitely a memorable trip!

Piggy-back rides with Gracie

She lost the 2nd of her two front teeth while we were there! Grandpa John kept offering her money to pull it out... but she didn't give in!

Sword fighting with carson... isn't Kai cute in this pic?

Carson perusing a candy shop on Granville Island BC

Wish we had a farmers market like this in Yuma!

Group pic near the torch!

The amazing olympic torch!

Too bad they had it blocked off by an ugly chain link fence.

Going up to the Skytrain.

Cousins making silly faces... I love how in all the pics I took in this sequence spencer's face was blurry! He's definitely a hurricane! :)

Teaching Kale the art of climbing the fireplace...


On the plane... thank goodness for portable DVD players...
