Easter and Graduation

Just a quick update on what we have done the first part of our trip. We are FINALLY in Oregon and done with traveling. I have to say that Easton did SO good on the plane, in the hotel, and the car during the 14 hour drive. I couldn't have asked for a better behaved kid and I was so glad.




Watching Ash's baseball game. It was FRIGID, but fun. Go Ash!Easter egg hunt with the cousins


Quick trip to visit grandpa at work

A short couple of days in Nampa with Steve's family with some Easter fun, some t-ball, shopping, and a visit with Ilene. And we also made a trip to urgent care where we learned that Easton has a fractured foot. Nothing major, but he gets to wear a sweet boot for the next 6 weeks. Crawling was his major mode of transportation for a few days, but now he's getting the hang of walking with the boot. I'm not gonna lie, I kind of liked the fact that he was less mobile and slowed down a little bit.

Then we went on to Rexburg and got my little sister all graduated!! I can't even believe it.



The graduate...just 5 years ago that we ME! Crazy. I'm just so proud, look how grown up she is!

A birthday dinner for grandpa! Easton is really getting the hang of the song.

A little Easter breakfast. Notice the chocolate cupcake? Gross.
It's nice to be settled and in one place for the next week. But we miss daddy like CRAZY!!! And I hate that I missed the birth of cute baby Jackson and can't even wait to spend hours holding him when I get back!

It was so fun seeing you and chatting just like we still lived in the same town.

I thought of you and your sister as we passed through Rexburg on our way to West Yellowstone. I'm glad it was a fun trip for you (other than the Easton incident)!

I'm so glad you captured that song on video, I can watch it over and over and remember what he sounds like. We are having withdrawls. I bet you are exhausted but we were so glad to have you along on the drive and Easton was the best little traveler. I know it meant a lot to Jennifer to have you there for graduation.

Jenni said...
