Road Trippin' to Washington state

 Kaitlyn and I (Allison) headed on a week long road trip with my family (the parrs, and my parents) to Anacortes, Washington for Wesley (my cousin) and Maren's wedding. We left May 9th and after driving 15 1/2 hours we arrived at Anacortes. We rented a house there that had a beatiful ocean view. We spent plenty of time at the beaches and enjoyed the rare clear and beatiful skies! The wedding was 2 hours away in Seattle at the Seattle Temple. The wedding was great and everyone looked stunning. The reception was in a education building right beside the ocean. While in Washington state we visited Andrew and Sarah's cute new apartment in Everett. They had a nature walk that we walked and Sarah and I spotted two baby possums. We spent a day in Seattle later in the week and did lots of fun shopping and all the great tourist stuff such as: shopped at Pikes Market, found the gum wall, took a cruise of the Seattle bay, went to the aquarium, went to the top of the Space Needle, and rode the monorail. We did a lot more then written but I think this makes the point that we were constantly on the move to make sure we didn't miss anything while spending our time in Washington. Thanks for having your wedding there Wes! We had a blast on our road trip but missed Dad a lot! Hopefully we can get back up there with him sometime. We arrived home May 16th at 11:00pm. Kaitlyn and all the other kids were such troopers they did awesome! Enjoy the pics!

We found lots of star fish!

Gum Wall! So much! Molly even added to the art!

The building with the brown push out is where we ate for lunch and after I nursed Kailtyn. While she was nursing she decided to poop! And guess what.... It was a total blow out (not much was even in the diaper ) all over my pants! We had just begun the day in Seattle and had lots more places to see. I ended up traveling the rest of the day in poopy pants and Kaitlyn had fresh clothes that I had packed in case of a emergency such as this. Lesson learned...bring extra pants for the adults as well! Good Times!

busy as bees

We have been busy this last month! In April we went to Salt Lake to celebrate my Opa's 80th birthday! Kaitlyn was really tired and mad by the time we left. At the end of the month we drove down to Las Vegas for my friend's (Emily) wedding. The wedding was at the Las Vegas Temple, which was beautiful! That Friday night after all the wedding excitement we went to our hotel and swam for a second. We were excited to see what Kaitlyn would do...she just held still and looked at us like she was really tired...little did we know what we were about to experience that evening. She went down to bed and a couple hours she was up and screaming. We checked her temperature and she had a fever so we did what we could. This went on for the entire night and on to the whole weekend. We did pack up and go home Saturday morning as it is not fun to be away from home when you are sick. On Monday we took her to the Dr and she tested positive for Strep. They gave her meds and two days later she was showing an allergic reaction so we went back to the Drs to get a different medicine. A week later and she was all better and back to normal. I felt so bad for the little girl she just sat and whined all the days cause her throat hurt. Experiencing a baby being sick is not very much fun. You don't know exactly where they hurt, whats bothering them, or how to help them. I am very glad that we got her feeling better. May is even pretty wild. Next week I will do a big post on our(Kailtyn and Mine) adventure up in Washington.
Enjoy the pictures!
