WA Trip and Layton's Birthday

My friend Tammy and I took our kids, we each have 3 boys, to Washington. Yes, 2 moms and 6 boys drove all the way from Colorado to Washington....leaving at 4am and getting there at 11:30pm(12:30 CO time). On the way there, we had a little obstacle, but quickly overcame it. While in Washington, we celebrated Layton's 4th birthday, carved pumpkins, saw family, and had a great time. Enjoy the photos!!!

Nice sunrise in Wyoming.

I was really trying to take a photo of this deer that I hit. Poor guy. We were all okay....everyone but the deer. The car had minimal damage....still costing a lot, but we managed to get it fixed before we had to travel home.

Here's the damage the deer did to my car.

Here we are.....all 6 boys...it was great!!!


Here's 4 of the 6 boys at a rest stop along the way.

Yes, all 6 boys and Tammy...a little Wendy's stop.

Of course...having all boys has its perks traveling....easy to pee outside. The boys loved this part.....each picking their own tree.

Here's Layton's 4th Birthday Celebrations. Him opening his presents.


Giving thanks.

Thanks Nana for the awesome bat.

Here's a really bad photo of my brother Brent and his wife Diana, but they don't like getting their photo taken so this was the only one I have. They are the best and I LOVED being able to spend time with them.

Jarom and I. I don't get to see these guys very often, but when I do, I LOVE every second!!!

Your boys are little stud muffins in training! I love Gma & Gpa Layton. They are some of my favorite people in the world.
