I can't tell you how much they mean to us and how much we miss them everyday. Tara (Jason's wife) and I are like two peas in a pod together. We have so much in common and we just click really well :) Visiting them is always a short trip, but we try to make a lot of short trips instead of less long trips. Even though they are short, at least we get to see them more often!
Their 2 kids are adorable. If we have a little girl half as cute as Elaina, I have no idea what we will do. Daniel will be worthless, ha! (just kidding!) He melts when he even sees a picture of Elaina :)
Picture time!

This is the look I got every morning from Elaina. For some reason she liked me on a day to day basis! hehe! In the morning she wasn't sure about me, by the afternoon she was almost ok with me, then by night time, she loved me! Then the next day rolls around and we started all over :)
But as you can tell my this picture, she loved Uncle Daniel right away! Almost right as soon as we walked in the door from the airport :) He loves her so much.
Time for homemade ice cream!! Jason makes the best homemade ice cream I have ever had. The kids loved to "help" ;)
She is the most adorable girl. ever.
Doesn't he look just like buzz lightyear? :) This was a present from one of Tara and Jason's good friends. It was good that Tara had waited to give these gifts because it help smooth over a situation that happened earlier that day. Jason, Daniel and Ethan took an adventure to go find a treasure at a near by park. While poking around to find it, Ethan poked his stick into something....well....that didn't like to be poked! He had found a bee nest. Soon he was covered in bees and Jason & Daniel were getting swarmed too. They all came away with at least 4 bites (Ethan had 6!). Thankfully, Ethan's body reacted really well. Also thankful that he wasn't allergic!! So after they got home, mom gave this costume (and a really cool Superman cape) to help him feel a little better :)
Elaina got a ballerina outfit :)
Mommy and Elaina! Tara is about 30 weeks pregnant! Little Emmarie is due in December :)

Then Tara and I took the kids to a birthday party for one of Ethan's friends from church. They had it in the play area at Burger King, which worked out really well!

I couldn't believe he posed for this :) He is such a cutie!
Overall, our trip was relaxing and great to spend time with everyone :) I will leave with my favorite image from our trip.
Hope everyone is having a great week! :)
