Road Trip Part 2: Friends

While staying in Pullman we were able to meet up with some of our friends for some play dates.  Our friends Chase and Tawny recently had a baby a few weeks before Cole was born, so we were very excited to have the chance to meet miss Lyla during our visit to Pullman. 

My BIG man and Tawny's small fry! 



Not sure about each other quite yet!

Ok maybe she is alright!



 

 

We were also able to visit with our friend Kristen and her little one Lainey!  We found out that Lainey and Emma will have a lot to talk about come February 2014.  Miss Lainey will have a brand new baby brother or sister.  We are so excited for the Robinson family and look forward to meeting their new little one next year!



I absolutely love this photo! 

I'm pretty sure Lainey thinks Emma is slightly crazy in this picture!

FRIENDS!

 

Trying to get a decent photo of toddlers is almost impossible, but I managed to at least get one of them both smiling!

 

 

 

Road Trip Part 2: Pullman

On our second part of our road trip we headed to Pullman for the 4th of July!  While living in Pullman my dad would come over for a few days and spend the 4th with us.  We would go to the Johnson Parade, Jeff & Jenny's BBQ and of course Sunnyside Park for the 4th of July fireworks. This was one of the traditions we new we would miss about Pullman, but thankfully it worked out for us to participate in this tradition for at least one more year.

While waiting for the fireworks Emma gave daddy raspberries!



Kent was kind of surprised she actually did it!

Making sure the fire fighter's gear is in good condition!

Happy 4th of July

Road Trip Part 1: Spokane

In early July the kids, my dad and I crammed all of our stuff into my car and headed on a road trip to Spokane.  Kent's best friend Jason and his family were visiting from Alabama and it had been 1-2 years since we had seen them so I thought why not take my 1 1/2 month old and my 2 year old on a 6 hour road trip (which with two young kids actually takes 7-8 hours).  Well to my surprise the kids did amazing until the last 30 minutes or so.  I don't think it would have gone as smoothly if my dad had not been with me and thankfully it worked out that Kent would be able to meet us in Spokane on his way to Colorado for a visit as well.  Even though it was extremely hot and a long drive it was worth it to see our friends and their kids.  We definitely miss having them close by for weekend visits and camping trips.

Amazed at how much Kendra has grown over the past two years!!!

Whatever you do daddy don't drop it!

It is wayyyyy too hot out here, can we go inside yet?

Emma eating the yummy food, well most of it ended up in her tummy and not on her face!

So before we continued our road trip to Pullman I wanted to get a few pictures of all the kids and this is what I got

I am pretty sure these are the cutest pictures ever!  Sander family we miss you so much and hope we get to see you again soon

Meet N Greet

After Mommy, Daddy, Emma and Cole got settled at home Grandma Kathy put together a Meet N Greet for family and friends to meet Cole.  The theme was inspired by one of Mommy's favorite books The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Bradley Babies

After all of the Bradley babies were born we thought we should get together for a Bradley meet n greet before some of the Bradley families moved.  All but one of the Bradley babies was able to make it and one was still taking comfort in his mommy's tummy.

Well Emma is not a Bradley baby, but she is a Bradley big sister so she gets to join in! :)
