Home Again, Safe At Last

We made it home! With Brad leaving Seattle on Sunday, I was a little nervous about how the flight would go on the way back. Uncle Stephen flew back with us, and I was very appreciative of his help. Here's how we looked at cruising altitude:

Johnny to my left, chowing down on his pretzels

Isabela napping in her car seat to my right

and Uncle Stephen across the aisle doing all he can to help out. Just kidding, he really was a big help. I was just lucky the flight wasn't full, so that Johnny and Bela were both able to have their own seat.

And this is what happened right as we were about to land

As cute as he was falling asleep in my arms, I just wish it had happened a little earlier than 5 minutes before we landed! Sister was very comfy in her car seat and able to sleep through most of the flight.

Uncle Stephen was nice enough to rent a car

and it didn't take too long for this:

We miss everyone back home already, but are happy our little family is back together again.

It Really Grew!

Remember how we planted our grass seeds last week?

Isn't it beautiful? Johnny thinks it's pretty cool.

How To Turn 25 Part 2

Why stop at one special day when you can have a

weekend birthday extravaganza?!

Brad's mom, brother and his family all came into town for the weekend. We had such a great time with everyone, but no one seemed as happy as Johnny and Brooks running around together. After delicious food at Tucano's, and a couple games of bowling, we were all ready for a good night's rest. Besides the great company, my favorites were the Brazilian lemonade, and Johnny making Brad chase him down the lane while bowling.

Family Home Evening

Tonight for FHE we started this fun project.

I found the tutorial here

Johnny was very excited to plant grass in the dirt.

Today

Johnny finally played in the dinosaur skeleton at the play space in the mall. It's always kinda freaked him out, but today he and Rex had a grand old time.

Love her

Tiff's In Town

Our good friend Tiffany the "LeeMaster of Disaster" Jones came into town for a quick visit. She being the lovely lady she is, invited us over for lunch. We did miss seeing her man Cory, but were very excited to see Emily and Natalie again.

Tiff, sorry I cut your head off in this picture but doesn't it look like my daughter is already half as tall as you?

Cute Nattie girl up from her nap
Emily went down for a nap so Johnny and Jens had a little roughhousing time with the footballs.

We had such a delightful time and sure wish UCLA wasn't so far away.
