Washington*

Paisley's First plane ride...here we go..............

My beautifulest cousin Arianne and her precious Noah

We had a play date with all my cousins that live in Washington and it was so fun to see everyone. Mostly all my cousins kids I had never met before. Pais and Ivy (i think is Ivy) play with fancy:)

Pais and Elinore just helpin with the dishes!

We had gone to an Enumclaw football game to watch my cousins daughter Maria cheer and I didnt get a pic there but i had just bought this coat for Pais at a thriftstore and i was in love with it.. Doesnt it look so cute on her? Mind you its a 3-6 month coat and pais is pushin 10 months... she is itty bitty. It fit her perfect though!

Nicole absolutely SPOILED me while I was there. We had a date night the night before I left and we went to Dukes which sits partly over the water. So so fun and so beautiful... Thanks Nicole... I love date nights with you!

This was our view from our table..

I was so in love with this sign. Annie and Emma made these for us when we arrived. It says "welcome jake nataly & of course little paisley luv annie' and then emmas is that sweet drawing to the right..Love you preciouses

The artist themselves... Sorry its side ways!

I hate GOODBYES!

Look how clear the water is!!

WOW that was the funnest trip ever! My dad and Jake have had this trip planned for awhile but it wasn't until I got the phone call from Nicole askin if I could split the plane ticket with her.. How could I turn down such an offer.. especially cause I have been wantin to go up there FOREVER! We arrived there on Fri aug 26 and came home Sun Sept 4... That was the longest vacation that Jake and I had both been on.. and Pais for that matter.. man she sure has experience alot in her little life.. Did I mention were goin to New Mexico this Sat? haha we dont know how to stay home:) Anyways Pais and I had such a blast with Nicole and her kids. We were able to go out some of the days and she took me to alot of these cute shops and at night she had me experience a different kind of food.. and I loved all of it... Who would have thought boring little bland girl would like different ethnic foods..lol It was so fun just bein able to hang out most the day at her house and gettin to know her kids better. Of course me and Nicole had to get all of our talks in.. I love talkin to her! She also has that best things to say and you always walk away feelin like a million bucks cause she compliments you to no end.. Some of the nights when the kids were in bed we would go lay in her bed and have dessert and watch and rewind Ashley and Jp of the bachelorette.. ahhhhhhhhhh that was so fun and boy were we in love with them.. haha we would watch their every move and just drewl (i'm having a brain fart) over them! Man am I goin to miss those nights.. haha  Anyways it was a blast as I have said 37 times but Nicole thank you so so much! We miss you guys already... were coutin down the days ( years-months) until we get to do that again.. love you mucho mucho!!

As for Jake and my dad.. They got the opportunity of a lifetime to hike 25 miles and experience "the enchantments".. doesn't that just sound like an opportunity. You have to draw out for this and only 8 people can go in at a time. There are goats up there so you have to either pee on a rock or burry it so the goats dont tear up the lawn... Jake said the pictures don't do justice but will take em right? What a beautiful place. They got to fish alot and did you notice how clear the lakes are? I want to do the hike just so I can see the lakes . I'm so glad Jake got to know my Uncle and my cousins better cause they are some of my favorite people. We were in the same state but for 5 days I wasn't able to talk to him at all cause they didn't have service up there, but that makes the mountains more enjoyable when you don't have phones interupting right?  So grateful for the opportunity they got and for us getting to go.. We will talk about this trip forever.  Love you all and it was so good to see everyone.!!
