Washington Trip and Family Fun!

So I have been a total slacker with my blog lately. I just feel like there are not enough hours in the day. You know…. adults used to say that all of the time when I was younger and I thought they were really weird and I never understood what the crap they were talking about until I had a baby. Anywho….I just recently got home from family trip to Washington. It was way fun. We got to see all of the great grandparents and a lot of other family. The best was getting to spend time with my parents, sister and niece though. I loved being with them every day. Blake finally learned how to crawl on the trip. I think that his cousin Claire had a thing or two to do with that! We got to go to Seattle for a day and that was really fun too. We are really glad to be back and missed a lot of our friends here at home. Home is always the best place to be! Here are a TON of pictures from our trip.


This is Blake with Dave and Grandpa on his first airplane ride. He did so well.


This is Blake with my favorite sister's little girl, Claire, just chillin in the pack and play at the hotel.


Blake meeting great Grandma Dale.


This is my mom holding Blake and Claire right before bath time.


Blake in the tub at the hotel. He is so freakin cute. I am his mom...I am allowed to say that!


Blake and Claire watching cartoons one morning.


We went to Olive Garden one afternoon and Blake literally tried to stick the whole bread stick in his mouth. It was so funny.


Dave helped him hold on to some monkey bars at a local park. P.S. I tried to do the monkey bars thinking it would be WAY easy. Seriously...not the case. It was so hard. I am so old.


Doesn't he look so old??


He is finally crawling and it's the cutest thing ever!


We were able to ride a sweet carousel in Seattle. It was fun and Blake loved it. Sorry you can't see Blake very well. It was hard to get a shot with it moving.


With grandpa in Seattle on one of the piers by the water.


Dave, Blake and I with Dave's brother and his family. We were so glad that we were able to see them!


Blake with his Great Grandpa Dean.

I probably should have warned all of you that is was going to be picture overload. Oh well.

I've been looking forward to your post about your vacation! There are so many great pictures. Blake is such a cutie and he does look so grown up (especially in that one picture!!). I swear, he and Claire look like they could be twins. Too cute :)

Hooray for the crawling! Now you won't be able to get him to slow down!
I love the close picture of Blake smiling. It made me say "AHHH" out loud. I felt kind of silly. Glad you had a good time!
