A Week in Washington

The kids and I left Nathan a bachelor for a week while we vacationed in Washington with his family. His sister Whitney was going up for a visit and asked us to come along. It was a looonng car ride with three kids but we made it! We got to meet our new niece Edyn and that alone made the trip worth it! Conner really liked her and it was so sweet! But when I ask him if he wants another baby in our family he says “No, just baby Jayden!” haha. At least he will have lots of time to prepare himself… no baby anytime soon!

Conner had SO much fun at Nana and Grandpa’s. He got to do all of the things that he always looks forward to doing whenever we visit. He got a ride in Grandpa’s tractor… heaven!

We also had to go see Grandpa’s cow… always a huge hit with all of the kids. Conner ran around the majority of the time mooing at random cows. He also thought that it was great that he could create a stampede by running at the cows...Nana and Grandpa got a new gator right before we came to visit and Conner thought that it was the most fun thing ever. The weather was bad the whole time that we were there but Conner rode it almost every single day anyway. He loved riding it with his cousins but insisted on being the driver the majority of the time. He got really good at maneuvering it around and using the reverse.
Conner and Naomi playing together… it was a very rare moment so I had to take a picture!Grandpa’s lap is all of the kids’ favorite spot to sit. Jayden thought that it was hilarious to take his hat off and put it back on over and over again. One day we left the kids behind and all us girls got to go to Tri-Cities to shop. I was introduced to the awesomeness of Hobby Lobby… already having withdrawls! We had a lot of fun but it was great to see Nathan again! I was forbidden to leave again for at least the next few months!
