Trip to DC!

A few weeks ago I got an email which contained some very interesting words, such as: Washington DC, cheap babysitting, temple trip...where do I sign? DC was one place that we've been dying to visit, and it has been way too long since we've been to the temple. We also knew that we couldn't drive clear to DC without taking complete advantage of the situation. So we tagged along with two other couples in our area, the Bostons and Torgersons, such fun people, and had a fun temple/site seeing day. We definitely didn't hit everything that there is to see in DC (that could take days), but we were able to see some cool things, and we got familiar with their transportation system (thanks Kelley!), so that next time won't be near as intimidating!

This is Jayda's new signature post, one hand out like that...perhaps she's starting a trend

Capitol Building, it was kind of cool to be in the same place that the inauguration had just happened weeks before.

Standing in front of the Washington Memorial. We definitely scored on the weather that day, it was gorgeous, none of us needed coats!

We spent most of our time in the Museum of Natural History. It was really cool, and had so much that you could probably spend all day in that one museum. The day would have been absolutely perfect had our kids been just a little happier. They were pretty cranky from getting up so early and being so out of their element. Part of being a parent right! Lucky for us we have three years to check it out again!

This is a hard picture to see, but it's me posing under a gigantic whale. It took every ounce of courage I had.

Oh sorry, I don't know how that got in there, that's just me first thing in the morning.

I'll never take being able to drink out of a cup for granted again!

Jayda with her signature pose again, I should send this to Tyra.

"Please, just put me out of my misery!" Luckily the kids slept the entire way home.

Pretty Pretty Princesses, (and Princes)

Let me start off by saying...I'm so behind! This month is flying by and every time I turn around there is more to be done. But it's nice to be busy. It makes the time go quick and keeps us in a better mood when there is a full schedule, especially considering the cold weather! So, in the next few days, I will try hard to get nice and caught up!





A couple weeks ago Jayda was invited to a really cute princess tea party at her friend Libby's house. It gave me a really good excuse to get her a costume dress (something I've been wanting to get her for a while) and get her all prettied up. At the party they got to make crowns (princes too!) and had a yummy princess lunch at the table that was decorated so cute! We all had a great time!

Jayda's trademark funny face!
