Summer In Seattle

We spent 2 amazing weeks in Seattle visiting Family and Friends. There were many moments that felt like I was reliving my childhood.

I survived my first flight with all three boys by myself!

Swimming in the River with Grandmommy

One of the boys favorite things about Messie and PopPop's house is snuggling Poncho

Visit with PopPop

On our way back from Chelan we took all the boys by PopPop Sr's for a visit. PopPop was so inquisitive about each boy and showed great interested and love towards them. It was so special to spend time with him and all the boys at his house.

Lake Chelan With The Boys

 Dad, Levi and I headed over to Eastern Washington early, so we could visit with Pop Pop Sr.

for the night. Levi and I loved having dinner with him, spending the night and just hanging out in his super cozy home.

A Super Fun Overnight With the Bakers!

Our dear friends Justin, Laura, Ruby and Calvin invited us to their cabin in Manchester for the night. Even though we could only go for one night, we had the most magnificent time.

Precious Moments with Messie & PopPop

These pictures were taken at the end of our trip in the NW. They captured precious moments of childhood and bonds the boys formed with each other & Messie & PopPop.

 

 

Gus insisted on sitting with Levi for take off. He didn't move a muscle. I love how safe and loved he feels wrapped in his big brothers arms.
