Spring Break Trip to Washington



We stayed in Port Townsend Washington for 3 nights at the beginning of Spring Break. After a few hours in the car we needed a little stretch break and we found this little park right off the freeway. Emma liked sitting in Abby's big girl seat for a few minutes. :)

The next day we set off for the Seattle ferry. Dan got scolded by the ferry guy for letting Abby be in the front seat with him as we pulled onto the ferry.

It rained the day we drove up but it was sunny and beautiful both days we were adventuring in Seattle and then it rained the day we headed home. Thank you Lord!

Our first time on a ferry and in Seattle together as a family.

We enjoyed the ferry rides a lot.
We spent one afternoon in Pike Place Market and had a little snack at an Irish place.


We headed back to Port Townsend as the sun was setting.

Our second day in Seattle we did the Space Needle and Children's musuem. We got in to the museum for free with our Gilbert House membership.

Abby got to operate a digger! Or I should say try to, it was hard for even me to figure out!! There were like 4 controls that each did two things!
The water table...
Making some music...
Leopard Gecko...
I think Emma Lou Lou had fun too. :)
Butterfly house...
Abby was totally scared of this dinosaur!
Spraying the water guns with Daddy.
Hot dog lunch in the top of the Space Needle!

There's our ferry boat!
Trying on a BK crown on our way back to Oregon.


I think it is too big Daddy!
Home sweet home!

Go Ducks!!
Both girls were completely zonked out!

March Pictures

I found Abby under Dan's desk with the whole box of tissus pulled out! I was angry at first but then saw the humor in it enough to take this picture. I told her she needed to flatten out all the tissues so we could put them back in the box. She kept saying she was tired and I said "Keep folding!". :) She decided her nose needed a little wipe while she was busy folding. Abby loves to be read to, especially by Daddy. I noticed that she had her dolls and Doggy all lined up and I thought it was cute. Emma Lou Lou has found her hands!
Abby is the ultimate multi-tasker! :) If you can't tell she is sitting on her potty.
I am noticing that Emma has her binky in most of these pictures. She always has to have something in her mouth. Lately it has been her fingers as well.


Sleeping beauty.
St. Patty's Day cards from Grammy!
Abby opens Emma's for her.
Emma wanted to read it herself.

Nice job baby!

Dan and I got to go on a date night and as we were driving around to do some errands before heading out we saw this beautiful rainbow. Later we headed out to Spirit Mountain Casino and Dan ended up leaving with $111 after starting with $60 at the Black Jack table. Hit me! Our visit was his late birthday present. Nice job Dan!!

Sisters! Emma loves her Bumbo seat and GiGi the giraffe.

Abby found my glasses in the nightstand drawer. Pretty girl!
Our friend gave us this scooter!!
Emma is 3 months!!
I love you sissy!
