Flowers

This year I planted flowers for the first time! I remember as a kid helping my mom plant her flowers, but it is a lot harder to do when you don't know what you are doing, or what types of plants/flowers to buy. I had no idea what the difference between annuals and perennials was before I started this project, but I learned quickly!

I can't believe how fast the pots have filled in, I planted them a month ago and thought that they would take forever to fill in, now I am wondering if they have enough room to grow... I guess only time will tell. I love coming home to these beautiful flowers!

Baby Shower in Washington!

My Aunt and Mom threw me a baby shower while we were up in Washington, it was so fun to see all of my friends and family. We had a great time! We just want everyone to know that we appreciate their love and support, and wish that we lived closer so we could see everyone more.

Yummy food!

I also got to hang out with a lot of my friends from high school while I was there. This is the first trip since Jake and I got married that I have actually gone out with most of them. We had a great time and hope that we can make it a regular thing to get together when I am in town!

Washington Trip

Jake and I had the opportunity to get out of town for a while, so we decided to go up to Washington and visit my family! We had a great time and we were able to spend a whole week with them and we even took Grandma up there with us! My parents decided that while we were there we should head up to Seattle and have some fun.

Me, Grandma and Mom on the ferry headed to the San Juan Islands.

While we were in Seattle we road the ferry over to the San Juan Islands. We got to shop around and ate dinner while we were there. They had the BEST fish and chips I had ever eaten.... yummmm!

While we were on San Juan we saw some gorgeous flowers and had to take some pictures. The tulips there were HUGE and very colorful! I hope that someday I will be able to find my green thumb and grow some pretty flowers like they had there.

When you go to Seattle, I think that it is a requirement to go the the Space Needle if you haven't been there before, since it was Jake and Grandma's first time in Seattle we went to the Space Needle and rode up to the top to enjoy the scenery, and fabulous weather. We were very lucky that the weather was so nice while we were there. It only rained for a minute the first day we were there and the rest of the trip there was no rain, it was warm and sunny!

Our final stop was at Pikes Place. We walked through the market and ate yummy seafood again (it wasn't as good at the previous day, however it was fresh!)

Group shot of all of us before we got in the car and headed home. Yes Jason is missing from the picture =0( he had baseball while we where there so he missed the trip. Hopefully he will be able to make the next family trip.
