Idaho -- Part 2.

The next morning, we went over to Ethan's for breakfast. Andrew, yet again, had many poses he wanted to try for the camera. . .I don't think there is a funnier kid on the face of this planet! (Or a kid who wants their picture taken as much as Andrew!)

Then there was the baby girl sitting on Grandma's lap.

We decided to head out to the store, but Andrew had other plans, so naturally, he started pouting. I love getting pictures of him pouting. . .he totally knows we're taking pictures, and he just plays it to the camera. . .we just love this little guy!

Then I thought the baby girl was pouting. . .

There's a smile!

A little while later, we went over to Philip's so we could get ready to get together with the entire family again. Philip was playing with Kayden and swinging him so his feet would kick a little bouncy ball. Kayden's laughter and screams could be heard from a mile away. It was so adorable!

Here are a few more cute pictures of baby Kayden.

And then there was Wal-Mart. . .

Stay tuned. . .

Heh heh heh.

Idaho -- Part 1.

WARNING: The next few posts will be picture overload!

We went to Idaho/Utah for the first part of Spring Break. We weren't going to be able to go because our car broke down and we had to replace the entire ignition. But, our very good friends from church offered to trade cars with us. They are too nice! So, we ended up making the trip and we're grateful we did, because we got to spend time with Ethan, Linda, Andrew, Mikaela, Philip, Kaylee and baby Kayden.

We went to Johnny Carino's the night we got there. It was so much fun!

Here we have cute baby Kayden waiting to be seated.

And then we have cool dude Andrew and sweet girl Mikaela.

One of Andrew's favorite things to do is make funny faces and cool hand gestures for the camera. We finally had to tell him to be serious so we could get a nice picture. . .and this is what we got. :)

Poor baby Kayden couldn't see over the table in the high chair!

And then we have the two crazy boys. They still haven't grown up. . .

Mikaela kept trying to hug her baby cousin. . .I don't think it could have been any cuter!

But I think she really just wanted Kayden off her daddy's lap so she could give him some big kisses!

School checklist.

Dishes -- check.


Towels and wash cloths -- check.

Bedding -- check.

Crying, because you realize you're leaving your mom and sister -- check.

--

There are still WAY too many things on my checklist for school items, but at least we have a start. We went to Macy's last week to get my bedding and when we got home, the realization that I'm actually leaving set in. Mom was in the kitchen when I tapped her shoulder and she turned around and saw me crying. . ."I don't want to go!!!!" I told her. I am so excited to get to Utah and start school, but I will deeply miss my home and my momma. Thank heavens for cell phones! I have a bad feeling that I'll break down crying every time we go to the store to get me something for school. I keep telling mom that I'm okay with the planning and getting things for school, but I can't think about leaving for school and being at school and not being in my favorite place. :)

Beautiful weather.

We've been having some real beautiful weather this last week. The buds are starting to pop and the kitty LOVES being outside.
