Washington

When we arrived in WA, MacKenzie and her boyfriend Jarad picked Eric and I up and took us to Las Margaritas. :)

Then we headed to my the church building where Steph, Mom and some women in the ward were setting up Alexa's reception. We said hi, then headed for the house to eat apple crisp that my mom made - DELICIOUS. 

The next morning, we went shooting. 

My dad won the competition with a score of 36 out of 40. Pretty dang good dad!

Every time you shoot, you have to ride down and put the targets back up. 

 Stephie and me

 We hung out for the rest of the day - saw my friend Michelle for a bit, and then headed to Alexa's reception.

 My beautiful mom

 Stephie and my cousin, Elyse

 We did a song/dance for Alexa

 And kissed her at the end

 We had her come up and sing Poker Face - one of her favorite songs

 Her bouquet toss

 The garter

 The first dance

 Daddy and Daughter dance

 We called up more daddy/daughter duos to dance

 Later, I caught Isabelle grabbing chocolate cake and eating it all up. It was hilarious.

Afterwards, Andrew was playing on Stephanie's zune. Totally entranced.  

 The end of the night

 The next morning, we were called by our neighbors and told that Roxy had a puppy. More on that later. :)

After figuring out the whole puppy thing, we ate omlets, and Andrew used a HUGE fork to eat them. Pretty funny.

After church, we hung out with Lynda for a bit. It was nice catching up. Time to move down here Lynda!

Then, we went to my granddad's house and he gave me this cat. When I was younger - around 10 or 11, I made this cat for my grandma. She taught me to sew, and she loved cats, so I made this for her. Ever since she died, I have asked my granddad about it, but he's never seen it. He was cleaning out her sewing room, and found it! I was so happy! 

 Later that night, we went to visit my friend Larisa at her parent's house. She's pregnant with her third child, and she's such a cute pregnant person. They have a sheltie - the dog I've always wanted- and Isabelle LOVED her. 

And then we headed home, hung out the next day, then headed to the airport once more.
