We flew to WA for 11 days and had such a great time being with Travis family. Flying with all the kids was quite a scene. We had 14 articles of luggage we were trying to keep track of! While Travis was pushing the cart stacked with luggage and 3 carseats ( I couldn't even see him and he is 6'1), the whole thing toppled over in the middle of the road at the airport. Mercy! All the kids were good except for Kamryn. She was naughty flying there and even WORSE flying home. She screamed for an hour straight! I even resorted to letting her eat chapstick to keep her quiet....but it was all worth it. We played on the farm, went swimming, had a baptism, went to the temple, roasted marshmellows, and had late nights full of lots of laughter. I feel so blessed to be a part of this awesome group. This is Travis and his 11 brothers and sisters!
My sister-n-laws (4 out of the 8 are expecting). I love these girls!

I love this picture.....
It says TAS "hearts" MJB. Travis secretly carved this in a cement block on his farm in the middle of a corn field back in the summer of 1995 before his mission. I am glad it came true.

HAPPY 4TH of JULY!
Our family went to visit Travis's baby sister Rochelle who only lived for 28 hours due to a heart condition, back in 1991. Kamryn's middle name is after her.

Visiting Multnomah Falls in OR
I loved watching my kids play on the farm and roam all day without even knowing where they were. I already can't wait to go back! Once we got home safe and sound around 7pm, 5 hours later the FLU HIT!!! Hey at least I didn't have 5 kids throwing up on the plane, I would have packed my own parachute and made a jump! Now back to real life...........
