Portland/KC trip

Since Kirk had to work Christmas and only had a few days off for New Years, he stayed home while Jacob and I headed off to visit both sides of the family. First, we headed to Washougal, WA to visit my family. We enjoyed seeing my sister Stacey and brother-in-law Allan. We also got to spend time with Jackson and saw Matt and Jen once they were over their colds. Jacob had a great time visiting with everyone and I got a nice break and some help chasing him around!


My cousin Claire with Jacob.

Crazy mohawk man after his bath!



Me and Mr. Jackson. He looked so cute in his flannel shirt and jeans. Such a stylish little guy!

Me, mom and Stacey. It was so great to spend some time with them!

Hammin it up for the camera!


After spending 9 days in WA, Jacob and I headed off to Kansas City to spend time with Kirk's family. I hadn't been able to meet my sweet niece Eva yet, so it was so nice to spend some time with her. She is such a sweet baby girl. We were able to see one of Clint and Connor's high school basketball games. There were actually games scheduled every night, but a snow storm moved in and the rest were cancelled. One of the good things was that the boys school was cancelled, so we were able to spend more time with them! Jacob loved playing with his uncles and new cousin. Kirk was able to get off of work and flew in on Monday evening to surprise everyone. He was only there for a few days, but it was very nice that he was able to see his family and spend some time with them.

Beautiful momma and baby.


Such a sweet little girl. She is so happy and was giving us the biggest smiles and cooing away.

Grandaddy and his grandkids.


It was very challenging to get a picture of both kiddos together. This is the best I could do.


Wild man. He doesn't want to sit still to get his clothes on. We have a wrestling match with every diaper change and bath time!

Mom's and babies. Jake and Eva will have so much fun playing together once they are a little older.



Grandad and Jacob.

Jacob loves tickle time!!!

Whew!! We were gone for almost 2 weeks. It was so much fun to spend time with everyone, but it feels very good to be home again!

  1. I loved seeing these pictures! So cute! I'm glad Kirk got to join you in KC. I wish I could've seen Jacob when you were in town. Hopefully it won't be too long before we all get together again! :)
