Catching Up--Trip Home to Washington

Well, this is a little belated, however, we had such a good time visiting our family and friends that I didn't want leave it out! Pretty much every June we go home to spend time in Washington. This trip was particularly important because it was the last trip home before Ethan was born and I also got to spend time with my best friend, Kelly, who was expecting Anderson just a week before I was due. We each got to attend each others' shower and see each other prego...it was a special time. I don't have pictures available right now of the showers, but we had a blast and it was definitely a highlight for me! We spend most of our time with family and here are some of the things we did:

We enjoyed a day at the beach with our family and the boys loved getting to play in the sand with their Uncle Tristan!





We have many dear friends that we love to spend time with when we visit home. We enjoyed getting to see Rich and Allisha and their new little one, Skyler. What could be better than a day filled with a walk in the park, bocci ball and Jack in the Box? Doing it with good friends!

We enjoyed going to church with our family while we were home and decided to take the opportunity to get some family pics in afterward!

We enjoyed spending time with both of our families while we were home. Tristan's sister, Krista, and her family planned a trip home at the same time as us, so we got to see them for the first time since we got married 3 years ago! We were actually disappointed that we were only going to get one day to spend with them, but then our plane had engine complications and we got to reschedule our flight and stay for 5 extra days!! We truly loved getting to spend time with them.


We also got to spend some time on BBQs with my family. Here is a picture of one of our times together. My brother's girlfriend, Brenna, even joined us!! Don't feel sorry for my dad not being in the pic...he was on a fishing trip in Alaska, not suffering at all!!




One of the best parts of our trip home was getting to see Tristan get to know his nephews...it was a fun sneak preview to what I can look forward to when Ethan starts toddling around! We loved our time home and can't wait to visit again, with our little one with us! Thanks to everyone who made our trip so special!
