Ashlyn's 3rd Birthday


HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLYN!!!!!

My niece turned 3 years old on the 29th!!!! It was so fun to see her grow up so fast. I wish she would just slow down a little, I don't want her growing up yet! She had a a fun princess party and got completely spoiled!

Enumclaw


Brandon and I went up to Enumclaw, WA for my aunt and uncle's surprise 30th Wedding Anniversary! It was so much fun! My cousin, Stephannie and her hubby, Jay, did an amazing job setting this all up. They were completely surprised, it was so much fun! It was so good to see all of my family again! 

P.S.Thanks for letting us stay at your place Steph!!!! 

Broc, Kass & the Mile High City


We invited Brandon's little brother and sister to come spend a week with us in Colorado the last week we were there! We had a blast and are so happy they decided to come spend time with us! 

First they get off the plane and we were holding a sign for them to make sure they could find us! BTW, this was their first plane ride without any adults. We hear Broc decided to do a little girl scream for everybody on the plane when they were landing. 

Then there's us at Jump Street! It's a place with a hundred trampolines and you just JUMPJUMPJUMP!!! We bought 2 hours worth and were about dead after the first half hour. It wears you out.

Then we went to the aquarium! Brandon, Broc, & Kass all decided to pet the sting rays AHHHH, there was no way I would ever touch one of those. They said they were just kind of rubbery. But it was kind of cool to see. They had some amazing things in there, including a tiger..why they had a tiger at an aquarium is a mystery to me, but it was fun to see!
Then the zoo!!!! We took lots of pictures of all of the animals! But we decided to see how short we were compared to an average polar bear. The bear is 9 feet in this pic and look how tiny we are:)
Then to Elitch Gardens!!!! It's an amusement park in downtown Denver! We went with one of our friends, Lizzy!!! Oh how we miss that girl!!!! But it was so much fun. We went over to the water park and I was watching our stuff while they went on a couple slides. I decided to move to the shade but continued to watch our belongings. Well they all came back and apparently didn't see me sitting 5 feet away. So they decided to lay down by all of our stuff and pretend to sleep, acting like they've been there forever. Well this lady was sitting next to me and we were both just cracking up. Especially because Brandon kept sitting up looking around for me and asking where I went lol!!!! I guess it was a "you had to be there" moment! But it was so funny!
Anyways, we were so happy that they came to visit us! So much fun! My only advise...NEVER go to Denver on vacation!!!!
