Spokane

Peyton and Isabell playing in Papa & Grandma A's sandbox in Spokane

Doug's mom and dad.

The day school got out Doug & I w/ Melia, Isabell, & Peyton hopped in the car and headed for Spokane. We both have family there we've wanted to see. With Erica due at the end of June and Tressa the end of July our window of opportunity is kinda of small. This seemed like a safe time to run over their. Doug's grandma P is 99 yrs old. ( 100 in Sept.) He really wanted to see her and have her meet Isabell as Isabell's middle name is after her.

Peyton was so cute. He saw Grandma P eating and sat right down and begged for some of her chips!

We meant Doug's family at the casino for a birthday dinner for his brother Steve. It was a really nice buffet with a really good dessert bar!! Peyton had a really hard time though. After sitting for 6 + hrs he just couldn't sit still to eat. Doug ended up walking all over the place with him

Doug's parents had an old guitar in the living room and Peyton and Isabell had too much fun with it. As it wasn't there anymore the next morning.

Isabell just being cute!


Isabell was running to fast on the concrete patio and wiped out, hit her head pretty hard! She was pretty unhappy for a while.

On Tues. My friend Jolene came by and we got to catch up a bit. I always look forward to seeing her. We've been good friends since high school.

Next we headed over to my sisters house. We took the kids over to the park by her house. They had a water spray park. Peyton loved it. We had a good time catching up. My dad had gotten a new dog. he was pretty excited about it.

That night Doug's mom had a Birthday party for him with all the family over. Really enjoyed seeing everybody and the other great grandkids! Isabell had a good time playing in the sand box etc. Oh, yeah and eating the dirt!

Isabell trying to decided if she likes dirt or not.

Peyton just sat there watching. Pretty soon he stood up screamed and headed for the house.

Cameron try to help Peyton be happy by washing his tires.

Peyton on the other hand was not to sure about all the people and kids. He just kept going to the back door of the house and wanting in. He went back and forth abit. Brought him back out for the singing of happy birthday to Doug. Then he finally went and played with Doug and Molly's little boy Cameron. He was laughing and having fun for the first time that night! Except when he was eating his cake. He could of cared less who was around, he was just excited about having cake it eat.

Cameron, Dylan and Karter trying help Doug blow out his candles!

The next day we headed home around 12:30pm. We first took a 5 generation photo.

Peyton had watched grandma talk on the phone. So decided to try too by just using the cord. It was sooo cute.

Then Isabell copied him giving the phone cord a try.

The trip home went pretty good kids slept till Mose Lake ( well Peyton had woken up by Ritzville but, was happy till Mose Lake).

Melia played a video -Dora the explorer and later some sesame st. The two of them (Peyton and Isabell) were glued to the tube the whole time.

Sorry for so many Photos. I took over 400 on this trip so just be thankful there isn't anymore.
