Westport, WA

This weekend we went to Westport for Jay's Grandma's 80th Birthday. The weather was great when we got there on Friday, great when we left on Sunday, and rainy and windy on Saturday. We had a good time even with crummy weather. Conner got to see his Aunt Shaila who he hasn't seen since Christmas. We also got to see Jay's cousins Jeff and Pete who I had never met and Jay hadn't seen in years. Jay's Aunt Karen was also there. Karen and Mike live in Brazil so seeing her was a real treat!!


We had Conner layered up alot so he looked like the Michelen Man. It was windy and rainy on Saturday.





Jay is quite the good self-photo taker!




He didn't last long in the cool fresh air!






Jay fed Conner his first Oatmeal Raisin cookie while Chris(Shaila's Boyfriend) played peek-a-boo.


As you can see, Conner took a real liking to Chris this trip. Yesterday before we left Conner had a blast while Chris feed him peach puffs and made funny noises for him.


Conner crashed out on Pete's lap before dinner on Saturday night. Between family and Lilly (Grandma's dog) Conner was worn out!


On the way home, Jay and I stopped at Miner's in Yakima for dinner. Conner had his first cheeseburger. Conner has four teeth on the top and two on the bottom so he is enjoying "real" food.
We had a great weekend with Jay's family. I hope to post more pictures of the trip once I get them from Grandma Pauline and Aunt Shaila. They always take great pictures. On Saturday night Jay's Mom and Aunt presented a book to Grandma Huff for her birthday. In it were stories from her kids, grandkids, sisters, and family members. When she opened it the first story was from her husband Paul on how they met. He read it aloud and everyone was brought to tears including himself. It was so sweet to see how much he loved and cared for her to this day. They have been married for over 50 years. I hope that when Jay and I reach that age that we have as much love for each other as they do. Jay and I are blessed to have such amazing Grandparents and Conner is blessed to have Great-Grandparents!!
