Miss McKenna Seattle Style

Our favorite little sister, McKenna, traveled to Seattle all on her own to spend an entire week with us! It was exhausting, yet totally awesome! We did so much, including tons of shopping (McKenna is TOTALLY my thrift store buddy and she splurged on the COOLEST PURSE EVER at Nordstrom Rack. She said if she dies I can have it. :) and eating, with a tour of our favorite ethnic places including pizza, mexican, chinese, and indian food! The biggest adventure (and only thing we photographed) was an overnight camping trip to Mt. Rainier. Camping was FREEZING! But the next day was PERFECTLY gorgeous and sunny. Here we are having breakfast. Flat Annie came along too! We stopped to check out this waterfall...
How could you NOT want to live in the Pacific Northwest? It still takes my breath away...
Alley and Oscar ADORE McKenna and all the attention she gives them. She actually succeeded at tiring out Al, a miracle in itself. Al and Osc REALLY miss McKenna and hopes she comes back to see them really soon!
Thanks for visiting McKenna! We had a great time and hope you did too! You are welcome ANY time!

Prom!

On August 15, we attended the Jensen High Prom! Our good friends, Colleen and Justin throw some mean theme parties. We've attending several other shindigs at their place including, the ugly Christmas sweater and Halloween parties. With a disco ball, DJ, and lighted punch bowl fountain, they didn't dissapoint and we went all out to join in the fun! I even asked my friend Joan at work who is a florist to make a corsage and boutonniere for us! Pretty fancy, huh?
I purchased this lovely frock for the occasion at Value Village for $13 the day before the party. It's covered in glitter and left a trail all over Jon's car and Colleen's house! Whoops!Jon even treated me to a fancy steak dinner at the Melrose Grill before the party! We got LOTS of good stares at the restaurant.
This is Justin and Colleen's baby, Helen! Isn't her flapper outfit awesome!??
Just another day along the journey of Jon and Nicole!
