2 weeks in Washington

2 weeks as a single parent anywhere is

tiring. But when all is said and done

we had a good time!

This girl graduated and that is why we came!

She had a party.. actually 2 parties

These 2 were best friends for 2 weeks

He taught her to eat fruits and veggies

(didn't last when we came home)

We saw these cousin again in a different state!

There were bubble days

The Pacific Science Center was cool

bug exhibits

Insides of a cow

lots and lots of dinosaurs

rockets

Tons of Pirate booty snacks

Tots play area

Large chairs

and Italian for dinner!

Then these two went out

for a fancy dinner

And this guy babysat while

the big kids saw "The Proposal"

excellent by the way

This guy LOVED this little girl. And she

loved him too.

Daddy you made my trip worth it.

I love you.

Thanks everyone for letting us visit.

We love you and can't wait to do it again.

San Fran Airport

Then we had a two hour lay over in San Fran

and this lady came to see us.

Thanks Claire bear for seeing us and

bringing food!!!

Yummy In and Out fries

And Ohhhh that delicious milk shake

2 seconds in San Diego

A weekend in San Diego is just not enough but we made

it work. The first day we went to Grandma Michelle's for a

pizza party and cousins. They picked peas.

Kissed new cousin Sean

Got bored from Grandma making everyone take pictures

Stared inside because it was warm in there.

Then took the picture that we ALWAYS have to take HA

it was a fun time though

Then the next day we went to see my sisters Celia and Deborah.

This is Deborah and her youngest daughter Millesha.

My OTHER sister and nieces all seem to hate pictures

so this is all I have. There is video but I am too lazy to

post it. HA

Thanks for cooperating Deborah

Then we went to Grandpa Prices and while there we visited

Spencer and Jamie and saw the new baby again

Grandpa and Elizabeth watched funny videos

Elizabeth adored Grandma Karen while we were there

Thanks family for letting us pop into your lives for a moment.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to the 3

wonderful dads in our life!

You mean the world to us!!!

Crouching Lion

Jesse Here Again: I hiked to the Crouching Lion summit today with Erik and Kindsay Norton and Erica and JJ Peterson. This was a harder hike than I expected but very rewarding also. It goes straight up the mountain. As you can see, the view is unreal.

This is a group picture I took of everyone except for me.

This shows you how steep the mountain is. It's almost a vertical drop.

There is a really cool WWII bunker half way up the mountain. We paused for some shots. It was weird to imagine that soldiers would sit in these places for days looking for enemy planes. Even though it was covered in graffiti, (which looked pretty cool) being there allowed me to pause and thank those that sacrifice so much for our country.

Single Life

Jesse here:
The other night I hiked up a mountain and slept in a treehouse. It is almost impossible to find because there isn't a trail. We had to go through the trees and bushes all the way up the mountain.

This was the view from the treehouse door!

Until they meet again. . .

Just wanted to post this before we leave on vacation in the morning.

Today we went on our last beach day with the Pierce Family

for a while that is.

Elizabeth and J played a lot. It breaks my heart to see them

be apart but since the Pierces and the Prices are best

friends since practically BIRTH I know they will meet again.

They are like brother and sister from different mamas!

They talk of blues and reds

They pose for "Lost" photo shoots

They walk and talk

She says lets hold hands J

or vice versa

Oh so cute. . .

J says funny things and they smile

Oh I promise you kids your mamas will skype on the internet

so you can talk and see one another. And this year will

fly by and you will be united again.

REMEMBER THESE TIMES

camping and kissing

telling her the beach is ok

Very first time they met on earth

Taylor babysitting both of you

I LOVE BOTH YOU KIDS SO MUCH

What are we gonna do?

We went to see J yesterday and he was not home.

She screamed the whole way home. What in the

world is going to happen when we come back from

vacation and she finds out he moved!!!

New Toy

We bought a new toy!!!

They call her Elizabeth.

We got the attitude model.

Sometimes she whines.

Then screams rather loudly.

But she sure does make us smile.

Oh and she comes with a small doll!

We love the Elizabeth. Everyone should have one.

They just come with different names, colors & sizes.
