we took a road trip up north last weekend to visit the
dentons and had such a great time. andy and i went to college in bellingham and we just LOVE that little town. we packed the weekend eating at all our fave places and hanging out. the weather was beautiful but soooo cold that we couldn't do much outside. here's a little photo documentary of our weekend...
first things first: must head to
mallards for my favorite ice cream in the world. their mint oreo is seriously life-changing.


just like his mama, he has a healthy appetite for ice cream.

we spent some time in fairhaven getting coffee and looking at books at a cute little book shop.



watching our kids play together was SO fun. this is the first time we've hung out with riley that wes could keep up with her (for the most part!)... i loved watching them play and laugh... eat meals together, etc.

riley was so sweet to wes... it's no wonder why wes has been yelling out "RI-YEEEE" over and over since we came home :) then he resorts to asking to see pics of riley... that is when i show him this pic, and he starts laughing and imitating riley's pose and then saying "ri-yeee" some more... adorable!

lots of affection... does this girl need a baby sibling or what?!? ;)


with the freezing temps, we opted for the jumpy place (can't remember the name... but you know, one of those
germ-infested bouncy castle places that you vow to never enter... until you have a toddler, and then you take it back and love it!!)

wes loved this slide... he went down alone and with me and would then say "MO! MO!"

home for a coed bath...


we braved the wind on sunday morning before driving home... wes was so cozy he slept for most of our walk :)

on our drive home, we got to
briefly see our friends, the
alfords and their twin boys van and pk. it was a very quick 45-minute visit, but still so fun to see them! we snapped a quick couple pics... one of me holding the twins (remember them from
this pic back when they were 4 weeks old?! my how they have grown!), and one of the 3 boys sitting up together. won't be long till VPK are running around with the wez!

sorry for the picture overload... there was just too much cuteness going on so i had to post lots more than usual ;) hope you are all enjoying the holidays so far!
love, eo
