Last week, Ethan and I had the opportunity to go visit my parents up in Spokane. It was a laid back visit with lots of games, lots of talking, and lots of relaxing. It was especially nice because they haven't had the chance to see Kels since she was 3 months old. They got to see a whole new baby this time. While we were up there, with the help of her cousin Norah, Kelsey learned how to crawl. I was super nervous for this stage because obviously she can move now, but its not too bad. She is still so slow that I can normally get places before she can. One side affect that I did not expect is that now she follows me around and just screams because she wants me to hold her. I should be flattered that she likes me that much, but honestly who wants to literally be connected at anyone's hip 24/7?!   We are working on the separation anxiety which is part of the problem, but all in all this crawling thing is not too bad.

 Happy Valentines Day!

The Happiest Vacation Ever!

Ethan and I have been wanting to go to Disneyland ever since we got married and on January 29th we finally made it! I won't bore you with all the incredible details but we had an amazing time. Ever thing was perfect. We left a blizzard Tuesday morning the 29th and arrived to 65 degree weather and it only got warm. Kelsey slept both ways on the plane, we were able to check into our hotel early, the shuttle out of the airport was on time, our hotel was 1/2 mile from the park, our hotel was renovating their kitchen and so we got an all you can eat free breakfast at a little breakfast hut every morning, it never got colder than 65 (during the day) and to top it all off the longest we waited in line was 20 min. Because we had Kesley with us we were not able to ride the big rides together, but because we had Kesley we were able to stand in the single rider lines or do what is called a rider swap. One person stands in line and when they finish the ride, they get a pass that they give to the other person waiting. That person then takes the pass and goes through the exit of the ride and hops right on. If that was confusing, just know that we basically were never in line. It was wonderful. The weather was always sunny and 70 or more, and because we were in the park for 4 days we were able to take our time and enjoy everything, not just the rides. We saw shows, listened to music performances, and ate dinner with characters. On Friday night as we were walking out of the park we were a very sad couple. It was just very sad to see our vacation come to a close,  but we know that some time in our life we will have to take Kesley again so that she remembers. We are not complaining! We have already started the Disneyland fund again for the next time we go!

If you don't want details, here are some of our best pictures. We have like 200 more and 50 videos so it was really hard to narrow it down.
