Mattawa!

Drew was burnt out and done selling on the 27th of August. We quickly packed everything up and left Nashville the 29th. We stopped in Denver the next morning to see Drew's brother Bryce, his wife Sharee, and their new little guy Case. It was so fun to see them. Case is such a cutie. We were there for a couple hours and then went on to Spanish Fork to see my brother Luke, his wife Natalie, and their new baby Whitney. We loved it. She did a lot of smiling and making baby noises for us. I love making baby stops! We are so happy to have finally met these new additions to our family. The next day we dropped our stuff off in Rexburg and headed home to Mattawa (Washington for those of you who don't know where this thriving metropolis is).

We had quite the week. We had some down time while we were there which was really nice, but we had our fair share of action too. We went to the river a few times for tubing and wakeboarding. Drew got to ride his motorcycle. I went on a bike ride with my mom. We went swimming at Drew's grandma's house. We got to ride the fanciest homemade go-cart in the world, and Drew got to fry his brian with countless hours of Guitar Hero. Its always so much fun to go home. We have lived quite a few different places around the country, but we still feel like central Washington is the best place to be!

P.S. I've given up on trying to limit my number of pictures for the most part. Its just too hard for me to choose!Me, Drew, & Ashley. When Ashley's turn was over she just kept saying "That was awesome! That was so awesome!" It was pretty funny.
Drew doing some kind of a back flip on the wakeboard. He is very tricky!

Drew and Nick tubing.
I tried wakeskating this time. When you wreck on a wakeskate it seems like it hurts a lot more.
Me & Emily tubing.

I made Drew pose by his bike, but he was too tired to try to look chipper.
This is that fancy go-cart I mentioned before. My dad and my cousin took some parts that were laying around and made this. There were no brakes and you could only really turn to the right.
Drew playing Guitar Hero. Thank goodness he had the rocker stance down! I think it really helped him!
