Just some pics I took this week :) I like to think of myself as a great photographer, but in reality I'm not HAHA

Dylan got a big boy bed, it was Daddy's bed :) Papa Dave came down and put it together for us, and Dylan thinks it is SO COOL having a big bed.

So Dylan went on his first hunting trip! He went with Daddy, Papa Dave, Uncle B, cousin Jake, Joshie and Brad and Brent Addink. From all accounts he had a BALL! He got to hunt with the boys, play in the dirt, hunt animals and eat junk food...what boy wouldn't like that?!

Calling the elk.

Glassing.

Playing with his car/tractors in the dirt.

I think this is our friend Prouty glassing.

Uncle B glassing.

My boys :)

Hunting in the truck is a lot of work!

Dylan and uncle Joshie sharing some oreos and milk :)

Filling up his water in the stream like the big boys.

D-man and his new gun!

Dylan and Papa Dave :)

All the boys scoping out a hillside :)

I think he's poking the fire here :)

Dylan with Uncle Branden's Elk :)

Alissa's first scone..or so she says. I'm pretty sure she's had one before but oh well, she loved it.

Me and the Princess, she had so much fun!

My sweet girl giving me kisses, thanks for taking her to the fair.

Here's the Princess on the dragon roller coaster :) She LOVED this, she even had her hands up a few times.

Ali on the swings, she had a wiggly girl next to her and she looked a little worried at first but she had fun :)

Here's Ali waiting to go on the tilt-o-whirl with me.

Now were waiting for the ride to start....

...and it began and she did not like it!.....

...I tried to calm her down but I couldn't quit laughing because it was tickling my stomach and she had SUCH a sour look on her face....she survived though, even if barely :) Her ride preferences aren't too adventurous but she did have fun on every other ride.

Alissa and our friend Kelsey.

The Smithsonian castle!

This is the fountain at the WWII memorial, it was beautiful!

Jefferson statue at the Jefferson memorial, and his own words behind him, probably my favorite picture I took!

George Washignton "Zeus" statue, now gaining popularity since it was mentioned in the new Dan Brown book "The Lost Symbol." The book suggests he is showing us a symbol hinting at his "god-like" status he gained through freemasonry, I think. I haven't finished the book so we'll see how it ends :) But the statue is neat nonethless.

Bike and slight view of the Savannah river in Georgia.

So I took soooo many pictures on my vacation to DC and I was going through them tonight and found some more of my favorites so I thought I would share :)

Hope you enjoy!

Last night we had open house at Alissa's new school so she was VERY excited to introduce me to all her friends, different teachers, and show me EVERYTHING she could :)

Here she is playing on the playground.

And again :)

Here's Miss Ali with her great teacher Mrs. Hafey.

The goofy girl posing by her classes art supplies :) Her favorite part of the room.

And last but definately not least Alissa taking a picture in her art room, she LOVES art!

These are from a couple weeks ago when Ashton and I went to watch the Mariners play, they ended up winning in extra innings :) We had fun!

My friends from work threw a baby shower for one of our assistant Managers and Alissa and I went on Sunday, Alissa didn't know what to expect, she was too little to remember the showers I had for Dylan but she had a good time at this one. She entertained the little boys and enjoyed all the ladies giving her attention :)

Here is Miss Ali pulling around the boys :)

The group minus a few at the baby shower.

The peanut enjoying the snacks :)

The cake I made for the shower :) It turned out pretty well and the Mama to be loved it and everyone thought it was pretty so I considered that a success :)
