Wes Visits Seattle

To end Wesley's summer vacation, he came to visit Rob and I in Seattle. We tried to keep him busy by doing a few of the traditional Seattle tourists spots and he even got to help out with the big proposal plan that Rob had. Here are a few pics from our adventures.

Visit to the Troll under the bridge!

Before eating dinner on Alki Beach, we stopped to enjoy the view of the Seattle Skyline.

Right by Rob's house there is a luxury car store. We took Wesley to show him around.

When we were packing the car to head up to Whistler for the weekend, Wes claimed his spot in the car before anyone else did....

On one of the warmer days, we took a trip to Golden Gardens Park to enjoy the beach.

And we took a trip to Snoqualmie Falls (although I couldn't convince him to hike down with me).

Over all we had a great time. Come and visit us soon so we can show you the sights!

Wes at Whistler

We took Wesley with us to Whistler, BC, Canada to do a little Mountain Biking.

This is the Rock Statue that is the symbol for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Wesley getting some air time!

Wes going off one of the bigger drops!

Airman McCoy

Chaz is officially an United States Airman and I couldn't be prouder of him.

We were very lucky to be able to spend the last 3 days with him and be a part of this outstanding accomplishment. We are so glad that Kasey & her family, mom, dad, Misty & Mike were able to see him and be a part of this step in his life.

I have taken many many pictures and will post some of the events and the fun we had soon!!

We Love you Chaz!!!

Hangin with Jayden

This week, instead of going to daycare, Jayden is hanging out with me while Jackie goes to work. We've been busy. We're trying to take it all in before we head to Idaho next week. Here's a little of what we've done so far.

We went to the park close to my house to check out the toys there.

We went to Microsoft and had lunch with Rob.

We went to the Woodland Park zoo. The Hippos were our favorite part. There were three and they were chasing each other all around. We stayed and watched them for about 20 min.





Jayden loved petting the goats in the petting zoo.



We climbed trees.

We drove tractors.

We went to the aquarium.

And shook hands with an octopus!

Saw all different types of fish.

So far we've been having a great time.

The 4th of July in Texas!!!

We all love the 4th of July, but it's extra fun when we get to go to the Tomato Festival in Avery! =) Colton was not so patiently awaiting the lawn mower races...
Yep that's right - I said lawn mower races - where else can you find such an exciting event! They actually hit speeds of 45 - 50 mph! Colton was in heaven and has already made plans for papaw to fix up an old lawn mower so he can race next year (don't think his mom knows about this plan just yet) Although the temps were in the upper 90's we all had a great time!

We were lucky to share Misty's first Tomato Festival/lawn mower race experience with her!

Then it was time for some fun on the rides!

It couldn't get dark soon enough - we were all ready to set off fireworks! Yippee!!

Kylie picked out some lady bugs and was so excited to watch them go!

What is the 4th without sparklers!
We even got papaw to have some sparkler fun! (he gets so excited sometimes - hehe)In the end we had a great 4th of July - and loved speding it together!
Oh yeah - this was Misty's first official year to actually set off fireworks - she did a great job!!! Yay Misty!!

My sister the dog whisperer!! =)

So you see... there is this poodle that is somewhat of a stray that has been living outside with some of our other dogs (trust me poodles are not made to live outside) anyway we have been feeling sorry for her and not sure what to do.... yesterday Misty decided that she would take her to the vet and schedule an appointment with the groomer... it is obvious that Prissy is very thankful =)

As aa matter of fact I think Misty not only has a big heart, but she has all of the dogs singing her praises - hehe

As a matter of fact - kids too!

We love you Misty & are so glad you came to visit us!!!
