We Love VISITS!

Last weekend, Jay and I went on a little trip to Seattle to visit my family! (Jeff had school) It was so fun to just hang out with Mom, Dad, Mel, and Kyle! We had lots of tasty homemade dinners, courtesy of Mother Dear, we watched General Conference, went to Costco, went to Mel's basketball game, played Pick Two (Jay and I won 3 times out of 5!), we had take out Thai food (mmmm), and rented the Hannah Montana movie (way better than I thought it would be, but still cheesy). Jay just soaked up all the extra love and attention. He really loved it when my Mom did a funny voice and said "Babyyyyy!" -- he even smiled when she did it on the phone yesterday!


Jay did pretty well on the 4 1/2 hour drive until we were in that barren stretch between Yakima and Ellensburg (NO exits in sight). Then, he decided it was lunch time. So, I took the first exit I could find... a "View Point." What is this a view of?

Jay wasn't pulling his weight back there asleep, so I made him do some driving...

I must admit, I was looking forward to some nice rain, since it has only rained in Walla Walla once since Jay was born. Well, it rained for like an hour all the time I was in Seattle--- the rest of the time it was gorgeous and blue and fluffy out there. I was glad anyways, though, because I got to enjoy the lovely green trails!

We went to Mel's basketball game, and it was Jay's first ever!

He wasn't too excited about all of that cheering and those screeching whistles! He made this same face when the primary kids were belting out "How Firm a Foundation" at church yesterday--too loud!

Go Mel GO! She's gooooood

Mel trudged though mountains of homework and then played with Jay as much as possible. What a good auntie!

yummy baby ribs!

I love the scared face when everyone was cheering-funny.
