Time for things to settle down

We got back from Oregon this morning and had so much fun! Normally by the time we get home from a trip we are ready to be home but this trip could have lasted a little longer and we would have been happy. We got there on the 5th and on the 6th my brother Donny flew in from Azerbaijan where he has been for the last year in the Peace Corp. It was his birthday so we had a big dinner and cake at my sister Becky's house and the kids had fun playing in the pool.





























The next day on the 7th (which was Allison's birthday) we went to the Great Wolf Lodge in Washington. That was an absolute blast! It is a hotel with an indoor water park that is fun for big and little kids. We stayed there for a night but played at the park on the 7th and 8th.





















On the 9th we took family pictures since all of my siblings were home and haven't been since Emmie was 8 months old. We had our good friend and practically family member Jenn take them and they turned out great. We hung out for the day after that at my mom's house and let the cousins play. We also did a cake for Allison that day since it was less busy and she had a ton of fun digging into it.

Darren and I flew home today (the 10th). We are so tired since we had to wake up at 4am to get to the airport but it was so worth the trip. However we are a little tuckered out of travel and what not and are looking forward to catching things up around the house and getting back into our schedule of things.
