Tour of Washington~Spring Break 2015

Skagit Valley Tulip Festival

Out of all the things to do in Washington this has to be in my top five

of all time! AMAZING.

Seriously, I still can't get over the beauty of the Skagit Valley Tulips!

I could have stayed there all day, and we pretty much did.

Mom,Cassie and Charley came up for Spring Break because they love Washington as

much as we do.

Glad we got to share the beauty of the NorthWest together!

So here are a million and one pictures of the tulips.

Whenever I am sad I am going to skim through these pics...they make me so 

unbelievably happy!

In this 8.5 acre field above, there is over a million bulbs!

Easter & Good Friends

Oh, look at these little Easter Keasters!

Love my little people on Easter morning. Probably should have combed Finny 

girls hair, NAH! She was feeling like such a big girl with her basket of treats!

I love when Easter falls on Conference Sunday.  Spiritually and physically FED.

We did Brunch with the Smarts, added the McBrides for Dinner and had a few more

families for dessert...my favorite kind of day with my favorite kind of people.

BECAUSE HE LIVES...

I get to be with these little monkeys forever.

Some conference bingo...don't use lemon heads. 

Orange Rolls!

My favorite recipe is from the Lion House.

 An egg hunt with this crew. 

Kristy, Eryn, Jill, Diana, Melissa & Keegan

 Keegan Porter (my darling neighbor) did a goodbye brunch for me 

with a few of my neighbor ladies.

We have moved enough to know that places like this only come along once in a life time,

making it that much harder to say goodbye. 

Finny loves Keegan so much that anytime we are outside

she bee lines it to her front door.

Late night with Campbell and Conley Porter...
We are going to have some sad kids when it is time to pack up.

The girls feeding Finley some yogurt,

I love her life.

Sydsy Sunshine is 10

 The most amazing 10 year old!

I love every ounce of this beautiful girl.

The one who made me a mother. She truly is the kindest person I know.

I always tell her if I weren't her Mom I would want to come to this Earth as her child hood friend. Because,

she is truly sweet, in all ways.

Sydney loves her siblings, her friends, soccer, frozen yogurt,

and anything active/adventurous. 

I can't think of anyone better to be the big sister in our family. 

She chose to go zip lining for her big 10 year old

sha-banger.  

LOVE YOU SYDNEY ANN!

Womens conference night out. Syd is awesome at taking notes.
It makes me happy to see her developing her own testimony.
She chose Chipotle for our night out afterwards.

Mnt. Dew Cake
Good choice Syd...good choice!
And our some of our favorite people...McBrides came over to
celebrate.

 Eleanor Sweetwood.

Her name says it all. This lady is super sweet and an idol of mine.

She also happens to be an amazing piano teacher and someone

Sydney and I will both miss dearly.

 We had to hit up the Yo Plateau for her favorite

frozen yogurt. All fine and dandy until her sister started 

to undress in public. Good thing she was sporting jammies underneath.
