Fall Break in Spokane

Spending fall break in Spokane is always one of the highlights of our year. Our favorite moments of this year’s trip included long boarding down the hills, scary movies, riding the carousel, neighborhood walks, decorating sugar cookies, picking & carving pumpkins, Scarywood, baseball in the backyard, hanging with friends, checking out private jets, and lots of time with family. ❤️

Scarywood

We’ve been counting down the days until we could take the kids to Scarywood for the first time. They were so excited & were screaming from the minute we entered the park. And with only 2 of the 6 shedding tears, I’d say it was a success!

Spring In Spokane

This last weekend we were able to go to Spokane to celebrate the wedding of Ryan's friend, Mark. Luckily, all of Ryan's siblings were also able to make it up to Spokane for the weekend. The grass was green and the weather was beautiful making an absolutely perfect weekend. The best part was getting to play with Ryan's nephew and niece!

Over the weekend, Ryan's niece Riley decided she wanted to set-up a lemonade stand. I'm pretty sure she ended up making about $5.00 for a half an hours worth of work. If only I could charm a crowd like her, I might be able to make a fortune!

Riley and Cooper are both super photogenic and love getting their picture taken. As my sister always says, cute kids make anyone look like a decent photographer.

Little Stud

This last week my sister Adrienne was visiting with her son Brooklen. As always, we had a total blast shopping, eating, and playing. What can I say, my nephew's a stud!

Little Stud

This last week was a total blast getting to hang out with my sister Adrienne and nephew Brooklen! All I can say about the little guy is that he is...SPOILED!!! One of the highlights of the week was getting to go to Last Chance. For those of you who don't know, we are HUGE Last Chance fans. But if you've ever been there, you'll know that the people there can be a little rude. After going on Tuesday morning, Adrienne decided that the line for the dressing rooms just wasn't moving quick enough. Being the problem solver she is, we went back on Thursday and she wore leggings. Since the leggings were so tight, she was able to try things on right over her clothes without every having to go into the dressing room. I'm super mad that I didn't take a picture, but just picture her little stick legs in leggings and one of Hunter's t-shirts! She looked totally hot!

Somehow, I don't seem to have any pictures of Adrienne from this last week. But here are some pics of her little stud!

(Already a money grubber at a young age)

On Monday we went to Cheesecake Factory for lunch. When the waitress brought us bread, she also brought a separate plate of bread and bananas for Brooklen. You can imagine how much he loved that!


I'm pretty sure that Brooklen had someone playing with him almost every second of every day. Whether he was looking at the horses with my dad or chillin' outside with my mom, he always had someone entertaining him!


Brooklen absolutely LOVED Ryan. He went to Ryan before he went to anyone else in my family. They became best buds. I'm pretty sure Ryan was ready to trade me in for Brooklen!



All in all, we had a blast getting to hang out with Adrienne and Brooklen! We're so sad they're gone but we're already counting down to the next time we get to see them!
