As always we had so much fun in Blanding this summer and any time there is never long enough. Wake and I flew there by ourselves because Nate wasn't planning on coming because of school and Wake STRUGGLED on the flight. I vowed to never fly alone with a baby or toddler again and I plan to make good on that. So because of that and the fact that I wasn't ready to leave after three weeks I called Nate the morning I was suppose to come home and made him book a flight to Blanding instead and to just make it work but he did and I was so glad to have more time there and to not have to fly with Wake alone again.
Pumped to get on the plane... I however, was not.
Busted out the bunk after him not having one for about five months and it really was useless to me despite what the picture may look like ha.
Papa showing Wake Norma the calf.
Wake's first sno cone at THE sno shack. He loved it.
Wake and Grams Black. He LOVED her and playing at her house.
Aysia came down for over a week while we were there and him and Brew had so much fun. Brewski got so excited every time Wake was naughty and and would laugh and wait for me to get mad at him. It was literally the funniest.
Cruisin' at Grams Kathy's with Brew.
Love this picture of these three. They'll all be in the same grade and they were the cutest together.
Swimming every. Single. Day. It was heaven.
This is by far the most homeless Wake has ever looked haha. He fell in one too many times and the life jacket kept making him fall (somehow) so Aunty C was kind enough to strip him down so he was nakey nake the rest of the night.
Chillin' with Aunty Money.
And the boys caught no fish. No surprise there.
Wake LOVED Bry and thought she was so funny. Poor Bry is so good to these babies who ruined her perfect little world of having like five adults attention at a single time.
Nate had the time of his life slaying coyotes (for once he actually shot some haha). He apparently figured out the secret sauce to shooting them and was stoked. It was kind of fun to see him actually do something besides study for once.
Wake had a love affair with Aunty C's kitties. This one was Aiker's (Blacky Soup haha) and he sure took a beating.
Aik and Wake cruising around Mimi's.
Nate made it to the pool once with us and was a little over it.
Of course Aus couldn't look up from her iPhone for the picture haha. That girl loves her some YouTube.
Wake and Chattum trying to eat their pizza. These two will be in the same grade too and will be best buds.
Probably on of my most favorite pictures. Dick put this floatie on Wake and he proceeded to just sit there by himself eating his pizza haha.
Not the greatest picture but these kids loved Grams Black tramp and check out Aus with that hat haha.
Too bad little (big) baby Stae wasn't looking. Her fat smile is the cutest.
Don't know how I didn't get a better picture of Wake and Mugs but he was obsessed with Mugs too. Mugs would totally plow him over, lick his face, jump up on him and Wake would just keep coming back for more.
More of the car. They had more fun than it looked like they did...
Wake and Grams and Gramps Shumway.
Wake's not in this one but I just thought it was so cute of all of his Einerson cousins up at Dry Wash.
Grampa Dick is so nice to Wake and just followed him around to make sure he didn't eat too much crap at Dry Wash.
One more with Norma and Papa.
Wake's first protest in Bluff against the Bears Ears Monument, hopefully one day I look back on this post and think, "Oh yeah, I remember when that ALMOST happened." That probably won't be the case but one can dream. Anyway, awake aphid the best time seeing grandparents and cousins and I really don't think he (or I) have ever been happier. We just need to move back so bad..... Just over one and a half years though and hopefully that will be the case.
Not surewhy I'd want to remember the part where we flew home but our flight got cancelled in Dallas and we ended up having to stay the night there (long story short) it was by far the worst 24 hours of my life and Nate felt like he had two kids there because Wake and I were both exhausted and bawling by the time we finally got to a hotel. Word to the wise. NEVER fly United again.
