The Pop-Up Tent

 This was our little pop up camper that we got when Colton was a baby and Aiden about 9. We had it for about 5 years until we just couldn't fit anymore. We loved it and took it EVERYWHERE! It was so small and light that we could pull it with our van and it was just so easy to hook up and go. We have so many funny memories of camping in it❤️

I remember loading up in February one year when it was snowing at home and going down to Valley of Fire near Las Vegas because it was going to be warm one weekend. I remember taking it to Canyonlands and not having a campsite reserved and we didn't get there until 2:00 a.m. and had to just go park it out on BLM land and it was so dark. Another time I had found a spot in Arizona that we weren't going to get to until the middle of the night but didn't think it would be that big of a deal until it ended up just being a parking lot and we had to pop the tent up in the middle of a whole bunch of other campers which is really loud in the middle of the night, I'm sure people wanted to kill us😆 and so many more trips to all sorts of different places. We loved our little pop-up tent so much and had so many fun adventures in it❤️❤️❤️

Peter Iredale Shipwreck

Image
 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...
