Uncles, Aunts & Cousins

A last minute decision was made late Saturday evening to go to La Grande and see the new baby (still no name announced). We didn't even unpack Jason's camping stuff. We packed the rest of us up and left town. As we drove, we let Aunt Charie and Uncle Jay know we were headed their way. Josie loves to play with all the cousins at their house. Even though they had a couple of extra kiddos (sisters of the new baby) they offered to let us stay with them ... so we did. The kids were all up early Sunday morning and played together until they were ready for church. JJ loved the attention he got from the older boys. Jayson twirled him around and around and Jaxon danced "Ring Around the Rosie". JJ couldn't get enough of the chickens once he realized they were outside and close enough to try to touch. Josie enjoyed playing with Jayda, Macy and Cambry. Carter kept a watchful eye on Josie and JJ as they mauled Camilla.

The baby boy is beautiful! He has a dark head of hair with some red when the light hits it just right. We had a good visit with Uncle Tyson, Aunt Shannon and their son. As we arrived home I realized that we didn't take any pictures of the impromptu trip. What a bummer!

Today Josie, JJ and I were lucky enough to pick up Uncle Troy and Aunt Robin at the airport. JJ was looking forward to it all day long. He refused to take a nap afraid that he'd miss the airplanes. He fell asleep on the 10 minute ride to the airport and didn't see a thing. Josie was really interested in the baggage claim belt as it moved through the area.
