Escape to Ravensdale

My aunt and uncle have a pretty amazing house. It's gorgeous, lots of property, basketball court, pool, fire pit, shooting range and more! It's great. So this year they wanted to have a family camp 
out at their place! It was so much fun!! First of all being with all the family is the best but there was great food, games, swimming, ATV rides through the forest, basketball, badmitten, wiffle ball and more!! It was over Labor Day weekend and we could not have asked for better weather! Ryan and I are pumped for next year!

More Washington Fun

The best thing about going back home was being with family! I love my family so much and had a blast with them! Here's lots more pictures with the fam.

Uncle Harrison and Vince



Big boy over at grandmas


My parents redid the kitchen this summer and it looks awesome!! I wish they would've taken a before picture but it was all golden oak with gold handles, red paint and no backsplash. They redid the counters, repainted the cabinets, walls, new cabinet doors, new appliances, awesome backsplash and lots of hard work!


I love this picture!!



Uncle Sean and Vince



Grandma Kelle and Vince!

Vince and I were able to go up to Shoreline to visit my sister-in-law Holly and Kelly and Steve. It was so fun seeing them and being able to hang out for the evening. Vince loved watching Ella and being able to play with his cousin!









Beach House

My grandpa and bestemor (grandma in Norwegian) have this beach house up in Anacortes area that is amazing. We grew up always going there and was so much fun! We had tons of adventures, played on the beach, explored, went crab hunting, boating, clamming, explored islands, built forts and tons more! It was a kids paradise. 
While I was in Washington, mom, Harrison, Vince and I went up and met grandpa and bestemor at the beach house. We stayed over night and had fun both days. It was so nice to be back and walk along the shore and enjoy the San Juan area!


Grandpa and Harrison going to get the crab pots in the morning. It was neat because there was tons of fog and we watched them disappearing into the bay.




Crab is so good but not too glamorous when you're preparing it!

Harrison and I were shooting cans with the gun. Harrison is good enough to try for the next season of Top Shot!

Trip to Washington

Vince and I went up to Washington a couple weeks ago for 2 weeks and had a BLAST!! Ryan had to stay home and work but was greatly missed and thank him for letting us go. Vince did really good on the plane ride, which I was kind of nervous about but a huge blessing because we got the seat next to us open so I was able to bring on his carseat so he had his own seat. Every time I fly (which is barely ever) I always ask if theres any extra seats and if I can have one for the carseat and there usually always is, so take advantage all you mamas out there! ;) 
It was really fun when we first got there we were able to see my sister Tristyn and her family right before they left. I had never met Kai and it had been a while since I had seen her husband Kurt and little girl Gracie. They are so cute and getting so big!




It was really hard getting them all together and to look. This was the best shot! haha


Little Miss Gracie


Sean had to try on Vince's socks! haha, he cracks me up


Popeye arms


Mom wanted to do a bath in the sink and didnt realize how big he'd gotten. Lets just say the rest of the baths were in the bathtub and the counters got a little wet!



Uncle Harrison and Vince were best friends


Harrison wanted to feed Vince


Haha it was his first time, thats what Vince looked like after my first time feeding him too! It's a messy job!


The next day grandpa took us all out on the boat on Lake Tapps and was so fun!! We went waterskiing and tubing! It was so fun and I was sore for a week but totally work it.


Grandma and Vince


Looks at those legs!


Grandpa and Vince


This stayed on him for about 2 seconds. He doesnt really have a neck so it was hard to put on and very uncomfortable. We just held on to him really tight and he really liked the boat and it lulled him to sleep


Passed out!



Dont' see this in Georgia!
