Washington and Idaho family

We flew to Spokane for three days, and it was one action packed visit! We stayed with aunt Paula and uncle Larry. It was great to catch up and see cousins as well! A lot if time has gone by... Noah loved waking aunt Paula in the morning and
snuggling up next to Larry to read the paper. Maleah...well she loved all the attention! We also spent some time with dad's uncle rob. We were able to see deer in his front yard which was neat. Sadly, we had just missed the snow! We then spent time in post falls visiting, grandma Sally, dick, Bobbie, Dave and Logan. It was so nice visiting! Noah asked me "mom, how many uncles and aunts do I have?!" Spoken from a child who rarely sees family! Lol. Finally we went to joy and Garry's house where we enjoyed a nice dinner and visited with cousins and great grandma and grandpa Schmautz! Grandma surprised us with some very yummy apple pie. Oh how I love her pie! We sure left with a lot of great memories and two very tired kids!!

Mom & dad get away

Grandma & grandpa were so sweet and they sent Dave and I off for a night away. It was wonderful! We enjoyed the ocean and a stormy night. Followed by, blue sky! We also enjoyed a walk up to the light house and it was so beautiful! What a relaxing time together. Thank you!!'

Great grandma & grandpa warren

We spent some time with great grandma and grandpa warren. As you can see Maleah enjoyed giving grandpa kisses, snuggles with grandma and playing with toys. I'm glad the kids got some time to get to know them.

Max ride and omsi

We had the opportunity to take the kids for a ride on the max. Noah was thrilled to go "on a train ride" as he called it. Maleah enjoyed watching out the window with her big brother as things passed by fast.
One day we met Anna and Landon at
omsi. The kids enjoyed running around and playing. Maleah liked the machine that you could put a ball over the air spout and it would float! It was so funny to watch her try to catch the ball!

Visiting nana & g-pa

We enjoyed our time in Portland visiting nana and g-pa. We also spent some time with uncle chris and aunt hailey. We spent some time collecting leaves (there were some beautiful ones!) playing and snuggling!

Ohhh...waterfall!

We took the kids up to see multnomah falls. They loved it. Maleah liked all the big leaves and Noah liked hiking up to the bridge. I had forgotten how beautiful it was up there. I'm glad we could share this beauty with the kids!

Family trip to Oregon

We had a great time visiting family...and introducing Maleah! We bounced back and forth from grandma and grandpa parker's house and nana and g-pa's. And then we took another plane ride to Spokane where we visited family there and in Idaho! We were blessed to see all great grandparents. We took so many pictures, I'm going to break the trip up. These first pictures are some fun we had with G&G Parker. Hot tubing, bird house building, and fishing are just a few of the fun activities! It was great fun!
