1st Grade
Avery's first day of school is today. He started first grade, Andy and I feel old. We have a kid in a number grade...that's like legitimate school! Crazy!! Jack starts pre-school in a couple weeks, then it's really going to be quiet around here!

I love pinterest. I pin lots of good ideas, things I'm positive I'll do right away. That doesn't always happen. BUT just this week I've actually done 2 projects I've found on pinterest! So here they are, I love them!
So what if I can never manage to get it just right...mine always turn out a little more ghetto than the pinterest pictures...but they work out and if I don't compare them too closely I like them a lot!! :)

Washington
Nora and I took a last minute trip to Washington state last week. My Uncle Pete (my dad's older brother) passed away, so we headed out for his memorial and to spend some time with family. I so wish my whole little family could have gone, but that just didn't work out.
So Nora and I had our first girls trip! : )
My sisters and one brother were also able to make it. We had such a good time with family, Nora got to meet Grandpa Rob (my dad) for the first time and was doted on by lots of family members.
It was awesome to be there with my dad's family as we celebrated the life of my Uncle. He will definitely be missed, he was a happy, loving, kind man. And when I think of him I smile. It makes me so thankful for the gospel knowledge I have.
There was so much that happened in our short trip I'll just post pictures. It was a whirlwind trip, and even though it's been almost a week since we got home I still feel like I'm recovering! Nora was awesome on the flight there and back, and she was so friendly and happy with all the new family members she met. That was a huge relief to me. You never know quite how babies will react to new experiences and people, but she really was perfect! It helped that she got a lot of attention, she likes that. : )
DAY 1(which was actually day 2...but day 1 we really just lazed around Gram's house...) - Port Townsend, we sat on the beach, ate pizza, walked all over town and shopped a little. Nora loved the green grass!
DAY 2 - Farmers Market, Nora's first ferry ride and Ikea! I've missed you Ikea...
DAY 3 - Uncle Pete's Memorial BBQ, lots of meat and no fruits or veggies...just like Uncle Pete would have wanted it! : )
DAY 4 - Visiting Kollin's grave site/new headstone and Hoyle family picnic at the beach
DAY 5 - long long travel day - Nora and I spent about 16 hours in airports and on airplanes, she was a trooper and we were so glad to get home to our boys!
