Washington

The girls and I had a blast visiting my family in Washington a few weeks ago.
I posted pictures of the beach earlier but here are a few more


Cousins!

Swingin' buds
(nevermind that Megan has a bad habit of pushing him over)

Here's my sis, sis-in-law and her two boys

We were honored to be guests at the Powell family pig roast

We spent many days gossiping over boys and whatever else
teenage girls talk about....pretty much boys :)

(I love Deacon's little hand poking up for his mommy :)

All that playing really wares a girl out....

Now for some rock throwing in the beautiful Columbia River

Sisters

and some rattle playing

We had tons of fun but we missed our Daddy and
again were completely wore out....

PA Graduation 2010

Woohoo to our dad!
Casey graduated from the ISU PA program
August 6, 2010

We're all a little older, and a little chubbier, but so excited
to be done with our student days :)

Megan's face in this picture is just classic

Good job Casey, we love you and are so proud of all of your hard work!

North to Alaska

Here we come beautiful city of Anchorage, Alaska!

Come visit us!!

Where to go, where to go?

So you have a chance to live on a small tropical island in the middle of the pacific ocean, 85 degrees, year round or....................... Anchorage, Alaska which has long, dark winters and short amazing summers....obviously there are more pros and cons despite the weather but you get the idea....

Where should we go??????

Da Beach

A beautiful end to and beautiful day

(this is the view from the condo front porch)

Entertainment for hours.....literally, hours....

Even miss Addi loved the sand in her toes

See ya'!

Adventures

So...Super long post, but what can you do?



We have been up to a lot lately, mostly traveling for job interviews one of which was in Alaska, Anchorage to be exact. Mom and Natie were able to come out and watch Megan while Casey, Addison and I flew out for a few days.

It was absolutely gorgeous and the pictures do it absolutely no justice....

We got into Anchorage at about 2:00 am Idaho time and it was still light as mid-day, Addison is sleeping under that jacket :)

Here is Megan's first fishing experience, she had a good time playing in the dirt and chasing the birds :)

This is a super cool little fishing pond that is free for kids, just outside of Shelley.

We headed up to Casey's family's cabin in Island Park for a night, just to get away from all the craziness and have some fun. Here is the beautiful view looking out the front of the cabin.

We went on a little hike while we were there at Targhee Creek Trail.
It's a pretty nice trail so the stroller was pretty easy to push, it does have shocks that made going over rocks and what not much easier though :)

Megan sat in it the whole time going in and then on the way back out to the car she ran/walked the entire way (about a mile) we were very impressed :)

So those are a few of the things we have been up to.
Casey has had one job offer (two as of this morning :) and one rejection so far....we've been to Yakima, Wa, Casper, Wy, Boise, ID and Anchorage. We head out to Anchorage again next week, have a phone interview with a clinic in Halfway, OR and have been talking back and forth with a hospital in Saipan (A random island that the US owns just north of Guam). Casey graduates the 6th of August and then he will take his final test. I think I'm going crazy from not knowing where we will be in a few months but we are so excited to be on our way to "somewhere" :)

Happy Fourth of July!!
