Waves & Watermelon

Sorry there's been no new posts in awhile. I've not been feeling very posty lately but I'm back. We've been on a few more trips since the last post but it seems like I haven't had the camera for any of them. Our latest trip was a rafting trip with the youth. Jared is a Boy Scout leader and they invited (reluctantly) the young women along on the trip. They needed some YW leaders so I went. Reagan stayed over at Grandma and Grandpa's house which was such a nice little break. We went up just outside Leavenworth and rafted down the Wenatchee. The river was awesome but super cold. They had snow and ice a few days before we went so we all had to wear wetsuits and splash guard jackets to keep warm. Our boat was great because somehow (???) we ended up with all adults. Not that we don't have great youth in our ward, but holy cow... we're we really that obnoxious when we were their age? Jared and I were even able to spend some quality time together in Leavenworth before we went home. I love Leavenworth. It's this cute little bavarian town with all these shops and they pipe out German music through the streets. It's very Disney-esque. We had a nice walk through the town, eating pretzels and fudge and looking at all the trinkets. It was really just nice to spend some time alone with my husband where we could talk. We don't get that a lot and I'm so grateful for that time we had.
Also, summer has FINALLY arrived here in Washington! It's been so nice and we're even busting out the pool at my parents house soon. I'm exctied to take Reagan swimming since she's loved it the few times she's already been. We're even wearing shorts and sandals!! Here's some cute pics of Reagan eating watermelon. It's so messy but she loves it. We also get to enjoy a nice cool bathtub in the sink afterward.

Home Sweet Home

Enough with vacation already!! It's always great to go on vacation, but it feels so good to be home and back in our normal routine. Reagan is a pretty good baby but when she's forced to nap in hotels, eat in the car and play strapped in her carseat she gets a little grumpy. The trip to Utah was fun though. We got to see some friends (yay, Becca!!), some family and some nice weather. Reagan busted out the short shorts and showed off her rolls to the world. Why is that cute on her but not so much cute on me?? My mom took most of the pics with her camera though so here are a few with mine. I'll post some more later.


She fell asleep while we were driving but held on tight to her cookies. Cuteness!
