Today we went on a whale watching trip, it was so much fun. It was a first for all of us!!! The tour began at 12 and didn't end until 6:30pm, needless to say it was a really long day and we are still rocking. It was definitely worth the money! We kept sailing until we came across a pod of ocra's near the Washington and Canada border. The boat company promised us that we would see whales, so we went to the furthest point that they go and of course came across lots of whales. It was amazing!!! We had a great time and Ethan made lots of friends on the boat.

Wedding/Graduation/Vacation Pics

This past week has been a busy one, we went from Uncle Brian' s wedding to start packing for our three week vacation and graduation in the middle of all that.
Graduation was on Thursday, I graduated with my Masters in Educational Leadership from Cal State Northridge. I started the program being pregnant, having Ethan and raising him, and continuing to work full time. I feel that is a pretty amazing task. Just going to school is hard and all the others things life has in store for us just makes it more challenging. But I did it!
So now we are on our vacation, we took three days and drove up to Washington, we are at our first stop of the trip: Anacortes, WA. It is so beautiful and lush! Here is a picture of us on the ferry to San Juan Island.

Today we met up with my friend Allie and her son Dylan. We had a wonderful time playing and going to dinner. First we headed to play at Jumping Genius, the boys had a blast playing with all the toys. The boys especially loved the balls, they wanted us to come in and play with them. After that we went over to Chuckie Cheese's and boy was that place a zoo and loud. It was a great place to bring children, no one cares how loud you are. We hope to get together with them soon!!!
