On to Washington DC

From South Dakota I flew on to Washington DC for Diana's wedding. The first night there we took her for a girls' night out. It was kind of funny that three of us in the group were nursing moms, so we all had out little black backpacks in tow all the days I was there. Jayden stayed in South Dakota with Gramma and all my family. I was definitely going through baby withdrawls. It was a good time but the longest five days of my life being away from my baby.

Girls' Night Out
Bridesmaids- SMILE!
We were all matching from our necklaces to our shoes. We were all very happy when we got to change out of our matching high heels to our matching blue flippies.
The beautiful bride! She looked like a princess.

Camping At Sheradan Lake In South Dakota.

Jayden's first camping trip was at Sheradan Lake in SD. We had a sort of family reunion out at the lake throughout the week.
We got to go out on the boat to tube, knee board, and fish.

South Dakota

There is no place as beautiful as the area where I was born. During our trip to Sturgis, we got to see lots of beautiful places. The one below is Roughlock Falls. The Matt, the boys, and I had a fun hike to see these beautiful falls.




Mount Rushmore

Matt, the boys, and Jayden made their first trips to see Mount Rushmore, which is about a 30 minute drive from where I was born.

Bailey spent lots of time Frog hunting when we were staying at Uncle Jr and Aunt Deb's house.

Nathan was more into fly hunting than frog hunting. Jayden has fun sitting with Daddy out in the fresh air.

South Dakota Trip

We spent our first Saturday in South Dakota at my family's favorite little lake in the entire world, Iron Creek. The water was really chilly, but the boys still braved it and took a swim.
