Twenty Weeks

Little Miss A Rae turned twenty weeks old. What a big girl!

This was the last week of vacation and we spent most of the week in Washington visiting with my family.

Adalyn sure loves Grandpa R.

Matt and I spent one day of our vacation in beautiful Island County 

We started with some shopping and a lunch of clam strips in La Conner.

Then we headed over to spectacular Deception Pass

We enjoyed some beach time at the state park. This definitely ain't the swimsuit type of beach.

We're all smiles!

Adalyn loves her daddy!

Puget Sound

We ended our day trip at Tim and Brooke Story's house for a wonderful homemade meal made by the hostess with the mostest!

 We spent a couple beautiful afternoons at the Northwest Washington Fair

Enjoying a little down time in the shade on the fairgrounds.



Adalyn's first time on a tractor

 

Matt and I enjoyed two different grandstand shows. The infamous Demo Derby and superstar Kenny Rogers

We were sad to go, but we were happy to be able to spend the last day in Washington with the family

Getting a pic with Uncle Tim. Breakfast at Arlis's before we hit the road to Seattle

Then we made the rounds at Pike Place Market. Matt and I took this same photo of the two of us after we had been dating for four months. Crazy how four years changes things.

Love, love, love the flowers!

Grandma and baby love the flowers too!

I've got to get into the photo op action too.

Then we hit the Aquarium! The last time Matt and I were here was the day before we moved to Hawaii.



Mesmerized by the fishies



There's some big ones in there!

Adalyn digs the sea otters. They're my favorite too!

Finally we made it home to Hawai and we hit the beach in a hurry!
What do you think? With or without the shades? Either way she's dang cute!

Nineteen Weeks

Adalyn turned nineteen weeks old! We started the week off in Montana and then headed west to Washington for the second half of the week.

Adalyn went shooting for the first time. Well, I went shooting for the first time. Adalyn napped in the air conditioned truck while Matt taught me how to shoot a pistol.

Our first activity in Washington was beautiful Whatcom Falls Park. It was so fun to take Adalyn to one of our favorite parks. Matt and I used to spend a lot of time walking the trails while we were dating. The sun was shining, the air was crisp and it was soooo green and lush!

Me and Adalyn by the falls

We saw gorgeous hydrangeas (you don't see these in Hawaii)

and Adalyn's first duck sighting

Over the weekend we went to Whidbey Island and headed straight for Coupeville. Our favorite little town right on the water. We were so lucky to have headed down that weekend because they were having their annual arts and crafts festival. There must have been hundreds of vendors there. There were so many unique housewares and gifts. It was a fantastic way to spend the afternoon.

We even got to see two tall ships in a mock battle. Cool!

Our last stop of the day on Whidbey was to Rosario Beach. I love this pic!

On Sunday we had lots of family and friends over to see Adalyn

Adalyn loved cuddling up with her Great Grandma Ada!

and smiled for her Great Aunt Donna

and was very curious about buddy Oliver and his mom Kristen.

Eighteen Weeks

Eighteen weeks old and boy has it been quite the week for her.

Miss Adalyn started off the week with a trip to the doctor's office for her four month well baby. Her doctor was quite impressed with her. She is in the 50th percentile for weight and the 25th percentile for length and head circumference. Way to grow girl. You're getting so, so big!

And then before she knew it she was on her first airplane ride. All the way to the wild west in Montana. She did super duper great the whole way. She enjoyed the comfort of a Flye Baby sling in the airplane, which made it nice and cozy for Adalyn and me while we relaxed.

After a very short twelve hours of travel she was in the arms of Grandpa and Grandma Felton. Oh, this is the good life!

It didn't take us long to visit the infamous Staggering Ox for a delicious one of a kind sandwich. This is one of Matt's absolute favorite places to eat. We stopped in several times during our stay in Montana.

Here is Matt with a full tummy of sandwich heaven.

Adalyn was super excited to meet her wonderful Uncle Clayton

And her Auntie Julie and Auntie Billie. That girl is getting love from all sides!

I was excited to be able to see my sweet niece Haylie again.

Adalyn's first ride on the swings with her cousin Haylie. We had a lot of fun. I think there were some definite giggles!

We visited The Museum of the Rockies and Adalyn had her very first dinosaur experience.

Father-daughter love in beautiful Bozeman.
