Yellowstone 2015

 One of my favorite Yellowstone trips was the time we had $4 in our bank account, no idea where we were going to stay, had enough gas to make it there but just barely, and hoped like crazy we got paid a day early or we were going to be totally stranded. I don't even think we hesitated...we wheeled into Walmart and bought a loaf of French bread and a 2 liter of sprite to share for dinner (back when the last $4 in your bank account would pay for that Lol😉😆) and we hit the road!

We really love Yellowstone ❤️ it's always been one of our favorite places. We had one of our best ever grizzly bear sightings this trip, he was eating grass on a ledge and we watched him for a long time. We hit all the boardwalks and favorite places that we could and even made it down to the edge of grand teton for a little bit. We camped in our little pop up tent, which was our favorite way to adventure, and it ended up being one of the funnest, most memorable trips that we still talk about today.

The pic of Lynlee with cheese-its between all her toes wrecks me, I opened the van door and was like...eek, what in the world are u doing!? 😆 She couldn't have been more pleased, and I guess it's one of those "things you never thought you'd have to say but then you become a parent..." things and it's like... "does anyone know how or why Lynlee has cheese-its between all her toes? No? Nobody knows this? Well then....carry on I guess😉😆

We've always loved our Yellowstone trips. National parks have always been our favorite places to go, and over the years we've planned some awesome trips around going to them. This was one of many, and I'm so glad Aiden and all of you sweet kiddos could experience so many fun trips to them ❤️ They're some of our favorite memories ❤️

Peter Iredale Shipwreck

 These were from Astoria and the Peter Iredale shipwreck on the Oregon coast. We went and saw the Goonies House, Astoria Column, and the cool ships in the harbor. The kids really liked the shipwreck and it was really fun to go visit, they loved playing in the sand and on the beach, and Aiden was such a good sport and let everyone bury him. He was always the ringleader when it came to finding all the fun things to do🥲❤️

Sleep Shenanigans

Image
 Aiden and his sleeping shenanigans was the funniest thing ever. He was always sleep walking, sleep talking, and when he got tired, it didn't matter where he was, he would just tip over. I can't even count how many times he fell asleep at the dinner table 😆 He rarely made it through movies. One time at a hotel he almost sleep walked out the door in the middle of the night, luckily it had one of those locks at the top so every time he pulled the door it slammed into that and woke me up! Another time he came walking out to the living room and we had a set of stairs between it and his room. He sat down on the stairs and I was like, "hey buddy, whatcha doin?" he looked at me and said, "what does it look like I'm doing?" and laid down on a stair and went back to sleep. The first 2 pics of this set is one of my favorite memories, we rode a ferry from Seattle to Victoria B. C. and while we were waiting for dinner, he totally just tipped over and fell asleep at...

Don't Go Out and Break Your Stupid Arm

Image
Oh Mr. Aiden... This whole incident was just CRAZY 🤦 One day Aiden wanted to go and climb the tree in our yard. I was cooking dinner and didn't want him to, and as he was walking out the door I said, "you better be careful! Don't go out there and break your stupid arm!" 5 minutes later, he came back in all pale, nauseous, and covered in dirt and was like, "mom, I think I broke my arm" and I was like YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! I told you NOT to go out and do that!!!  I took one look at it and was like, yep...arms are definitely not supposed to look like that...that's broken. And indeed it was...displaced and everything, and of course ended up needing surgery🤦 So surgery day came, and I told him multiple times.... Nothing to eat or drink after midnight. We had to be there really early in the morning so as I'm getting ready I hear some rustling out in the kitchen and yelled, what are you doing!? You better not be eating! Silence. So I go running...
