We took a short trip to Washington over the weekend to visit Nathan's family. I think that I gained five pounds while we were there because Nathan's Mom loaded the house with lots of treats and I am not one to say no to anything with sugar... We were able to visit his grandparents and his grandma Grimmett took us out to Chico's for some high calorie but delicious pizza. She also baked us pumpkin pie..mmmm... Nathan's favorite part of the weekend was when his Dad took us fishing. We borrowed a little boat and took it out on the lake. Nathan was the only one to catch anything and it was just a little fish but here he is holding it proudly.
On a different note...
If any of you have been around Conner you may have noticed that he has some freaky feet. (Not that I don't love them but they are just kinda crazy!)We have always wondered where he got his crazy toes and Nathan insisted that it came from my side of the family. We were also worried enough about them that we asked the doctor if they would straighten out. Here is a pic of Conner's toes:
Anyways while were were in Washington I was looking through a photo album of when Nathan was a baby and I came across a photo of someone's crazy toes- toes that looked identical to Conners! I was like "are those Nathan's toes!" and sure enough Nathan had the same problem when he was a baby! I was like "you gave him the freaky toe gene!" His mom didn't remember that his toes had been like that- here is the picture:
Luckily Nathan's toes have straightend out and are actually quite attractive if you are a feet person... So we are no longer worried about his toes and best of all- Mystery Solved!
But speaking of crazy genes... Conner has got some crazy hair because it always stands sraight up! My mom always told me that my hair was the same way. I was looking through some of my baby pictures and I think that he has got me to thank for the "poof" on top of his head.
Here is me as a wee one:
I had to put up this picture as well as a close up because I love this picture of my mom! She won't be too happy that I shared this picture of her but I couldn't help myself. :)

Well, with freaky parents... I'm not sure there is ANY hope for Connor. :) I wonder if Connor and Austin will act like their dads when they get together. Hopefully he'll straighten out despite his parents. he he. I love the picture of your mom I think it's really cute.
You are such a cute mom! Conner has got so big since I last saw him!
Oh man, thanks for the laugh! Conner's toe's are a little crazy. HaHa At least you can blame Nathan now. And that picture of you and OUR mom is priceless. I haven't laughed that hard in a LONG time.
Yay!! We know he wont have to wear shoes that cover his toes his whole life! And I think it's cute that Nathan had them, too. I think about what characteristics I'm going to give our girl all the time and what Jaren will contribute. It will be so fun to see, like you see!
And I hope your mom never tossed that outfit because your kids will want it for 80's day in 17 years.
That is one cute baby you guys got there!
HAHAHA we are laughing so hard. Who knew Nathan had the freaky toe gene? They should test people for that before you get married. haha j/k! It's pretty funny though. And you had the fuzzy hair gene... well, at least you know that his toes wikl straighten out and his hair will de-fuzz, because you are both attractive adults :)
hahhahahhaaa, Nathan is the culprit! And he was so sure it wasn't from his side of the family, hahahhaa!
And I LOVE that picture of your mom! The 80's were good to her! haha
