I can't believe I almost forgot to post this!

I can't believe I never did a post on my first trip leaving all three kids. My really nice husband took the kids for 4 glorious days while I headed out West. Although I started the trip with some major anxiety (leaving the kids for the first time and all) it was really wonderful. It all came about because I recently became a facebooker and started talking to one of my bestest friends growing up. After time I decided I just had to see her and spend time with her family. We've had zero time together sense getting married and having kids. It was well over due. We spent every day all day catching up and laughing and laughing and laughing. I don't think I've laughed that hard in years. It was a blast!!! Thanks Melissa again for having me and thanks Luke for taking the kids. I love you both.

These pictures are a bit backwards but, oh well. On my way home I stopped through Portland for about 12 hours to check out my sister Sarah's beautiful new Yoga, Pilates, Belly Dancing studio she opened just weeks prior. My bro Matt, sister Beck and I hit one of Sarah's yoga classes. It was great. Sarah's an incredible instructor.
Here's' a few of the pictures we took at Sarah's around 2 am the night I got in. Can you tell we were a little loopy?!

I probably should have forgotten to post this picture, :) but Matt's faces always make me laugh.

These are some of my favorite folks. Bobbi and Brother Fowler's home was my second home most of my adolescent years. I just love them. Not only do they look like the best Grandparents, but they really are! I love this picture!

These adorable gals are Missy and Rick's 3 oldest. I love these girls. It was so fun to get to know them. They are such fun, smart, talented, beautiful girls. Just like their Momma (and Daddy).

I also fell in love with this little cutie. This is Dakota, Rick and Missy's youngest. I couldn't get enough of this girl. She is just full of personality. Love her!

This picture brings me back. Lets just say I got used to being the third wheel when we were living our glory days, actually Missy's glory days as teenagers. :)

I really couldn't love these two (Jamie & Missy) anymore. They are like sisters/family to me along with the rest of the Fowler family. I've missed them. It was so nice to get my Fowler fix for three days.
Thanks again Missy for having me. It was a blast!! Love you all!
