What's up with MapQuest?
So.. before we left I got directions to the Bellevue LDS Temple off MapQuest. The directions led us here.
Everetts Birthday Trip
Weeks before Everett's Birthday we told him we were going to Seattle for his big day. We promise him lots of swimming, a cake and presents. He was really looking forward to it and couldn't stop talking about Seattle, swimming and Anjuli's house. So you can imagine my surprise when he woke up the day of our trip and told me we were going to... Hawaii. Huh. He and Tristen dressed themselves in these outfits and stuck to their story even when I dropped them at a friends house for a few hours. Porter was not enjoying the ride so we stopped in Vantage for a few minutes. Wind anyone?
They took full advantage of the hotel pool, swimming till close the night we arrived and being the first in the pool the next morning. We stayed in Bellevue so we could take the boys to the Temple the next day. I was surprised at how many trails they had on the grounds. It was beautiful and peaceful and a joy to be there as a family.
We had a great time at my brothers place and as promised opened gifts and ate cake. On the way home we stopped in Vantage again (this time sans wind) and they swam in the river. 
All things considered it was a success and we are now looking forward to Tristen's birthday trip.
Rexburg here we come!!
Meeting the Cousin
Guess what we found?!!! I can finally post some pics from the past month. Here are a few photos from our trip to Seattle and the #1 motivation for taking three boys over the mountain pass to Emerald City.
The last two photos are of Porter at the "Baby Spa". I told Josh one of my worst fears was once we saw my brother and his new baby we would realize how neglected our poor third child is. Sure enough their first born smelt sweet as can be, had his own bathing station, changing station and sleep area, new clothes everyday, etc. etc.. Porter on the other hand had taken five baths since his birth, gets changed on the carpet and sleeps on top of one blanket that I think I've washed maybe twice (it's his favorite and there's not time to wash the darn thing between naps). So sleeping in his cousins crib with matching bumpers and mobile, then bathing and getting dressed on the deluxe changing pad was a luxury for our little Po.
Baby Olan. Isn't he the cutest.
He and Porter where born 13 days apart.

A thousand words Lost
We've lost our camera, can't find it anywhere. Which means I can't blog about Everett's birthday, our fun trip to Seattle and the Fourth of July. I'm learning that a picture really is worth a thousand words. Our friend Mandy says we have a baby stamp, so in the mean time try to guess which baby is which (I pulled these photos from our digital archives)Answers at the bottom.
