Seattle/Curt's Wedding

On August 13th, my family and Addy & I packed up and made the 14 hour drive up to Seattle for my cousin, Curt's wedding. Addy did AMAZING on the drive. She just watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse the whole entire drive and never cried once! Yay!! It was so fun to go back to Seattle - when we lived in Spokane, we made many trips over to Seattle, so it was fun to be back there. Also, on the way up, we drove through Spokane, so I made my dad quickly drive through Liberty Lake and see our old apartment and other places we used to go to while we lived there. That was so fun to be back there! Anyway, here are some of the pictures of the wedding and sightseeing in Seattle. To see all of our pictures (there's a lot), click here.

On Addy's 2nd birthday, August 17, we had to do our 14 hour drive back home :( What a horrible birthday for Addy. But she had no idea and she was, once again, perfect on the drive home...watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse the whole way. When we got home (at 10:00 that night), Mike had made some cupcakes for Addy's birthday, so we sang to her, blew out the candles, and ate a cupcake. It was a good birthday for her, considering the situation.


Waking up at 5:00 AM on her birthday to jump in the car for 14 hours :(


Happy Birthday #2 Adyson!!

I'm sad you guys didn't stop by, but I understand you probably just wanted to get there and get back...especially with a 2 year old. I'm happy she did so well in the car. THat is always nice.
