Away we go (went?) to Idaho!

I know I've been a terrible blogger and haven't posted in awhile.  It's due to a combination of business, laziness and a 5 day trip to Idaho.  Ever since Benjamin was born we're pretty much required to make the near 500 mile trip home every 2 months or so :-)  And we happily oblige.

We left Thursday morning and got home late Monday night.  It always goes by too quickly and the 8 hour car ride still hurts my bum, but we had a great time.  Benjamin traveled amazingly and he was sooo good while we were there.  Sorry for the insane amount of pictures, but this blog is kind of like my scrapbook so I want to remember these times!

 it obviously didn't take him very long to make himself comfortable, ha!
 Benjamin is such a climber....kinda scary!
 hooray for being at Nana's house!!!
 I'm kinda thinking he enjoys the attention :-)
 Benjamin and cousin Alexander playing with their favorite thing....coasters!
 reading time on the couch with Elmo
 just being cute as usual
 bathtime after spaghetti dinner!
 this is what he did every time we would ask for a kiss.....oh boy!!
 Elmo submarine, orange octopus, green frog and blue water...........SO FUN!
 my little rocker
 Auntie Amanda is the BEST
 he seriously adores her!
 lounging around before night night
 me making crazy baby faces for my niece Azalea
 They threw Benjamin an awesome Elmo 1st birthday party.....he's opening all his awesome Elmo gear from Amanda
 WHAT?  All of this stuff is for me?  The balloons, the cake, the presents?  WOW!
 riding in his SUPER AWESOME gift from Nana and Grandfather
 Benjamin loves riding in it and loooves pushing around his cousins as well.  He's a strong one!
 Happy Birthday to you Benjamin!  The Elmo cake was adorable
 My brother Aaron and his little girl Azalea, so cute!
 COUSINS!  Alexander, Azalea and Benjamin
 Then we headed to Uniontown to spend time with Poppy & GongGong, YEAH!
 we had a dinner/concert at an old mill on Saturday night
 the food was great and the pianist was amazing
 had to take a picture of the mother-in-law door on the top level of the mill....it leads out to nothing, ha ha ha!
 looking mighty handsome before church
 I realized Benjamin kind of matched his Poppy, so fun!
 We celebrated Benjamin again with some fun cupcakes!
 Reading his awesome new books from Poppy & GongGong
We also celebrated Peter's birthday which is coming up on Thursday!!!

It was a great couple of days....we're already anxious to see everyone again soon.  Love you guys :-)
