Washington State!!!!!!

I just returned from the BEST trip!!! I went to Seattle to "help my cousin move".....ie, hang out with her and her fab family and have FUN!!! :) We did do some work, but we had to get some playing in as well!!!









Deacon with his new ride. Just kidding! But I would keep this in mind, mom and dad, for the future :)






My fabulously gorgeous cousin Melissa. We have been best buds since birth and I LOVE THIS GIRL!!!







My newest sidekick: Sofia Lauren. Such a doll!!!!!!!!!!!!!







We cannot forget Copper :)








Melissa has a wonderful Hubbalicious named Jim. Or, the Jimyster. Or, Jim-ba-ro-nee. Whatev. He is a great hubby and dad!!! And very sweet to put up with a distant relative via marriage crashing at his house and introducing his wife to new stores like IKEA, Anthropologie and REI :)




So I hear that Seattle is rainy, however, I was there for 4 full days and I saw nothing but sunshine and blue skies!!! We took a great hike one day to this waterfall.....















My cousin Melissa and her beautiful family...Hubster Jim, son Deacon and daughters Madi and Sofia.

Melissa trying on a $20,000 ring....SO tempting!!!







At Pike Place Market watching the street performers. This guy played guitar while twirling a hoola-hoop, playing the harmonica, playing the maraca's and dancing. It really was a mazing! We gave him some cash!
